caught with a thought

there have been so many times that these fleeting thoughts catches me; and in my mind, i have them written.

but these fleeting thought are just what they are... fleeting. by the time; i want to write them, they have come and passed.

try as i can to recall them, when they are written; they just are not the same as the first intance of that thought.

i guess the saying "hold that thought" is far from applicable at this point.

have you ever had these?

has it ever occured to you that at any given point in time, you may have written a book-worth of jibbering?

these random mind-jibber that despite a hectic, stressfull, weary day; is still able to creep in and give you the benefit of self-reflection or whatchamacallit.

'tis not like i cannot write, i'd admit 'tis more of not being in the zone to write something.

they often pop up when i'm in the middle of doing something else, either at work writing code or on some chores.

rare are those days, when i can sit over coffee and think what to write; never those days even. only an ernest hemingway would have those.
