About "Chimps In My Head"...

I am not a person who generally spends a lot of time thinking about things... but once in a while there is a sudden thought that will cross my mind - like lightning striking down to the earth from the heavens - that will make me stop and actually think.  The other day I was struck with the thought that there is a lot of stuff that just naturally happens, and we have this natural instinct that takes over and helps us through whatever we are doing... an instinct that appears to come from years and years of evolution.  Everyone has their own beliefs and ideas of how we all came to be in this world.  Many believe strongly in Darwinism for example - and that garnered the thought that maybe, on some wild and crazy level unbeknownst to all of us, that we all have the evolution of apes in our heads telling us what to do.

I am sure that you think that I am absolutely off my rocker to be thinking that I have little chimpanzees running around in my head and telling me what to do... but if you spent any time in my head, you would realize that crazy thought are a dime a dozen up there.  

We all have voices in our heads right?  I'm not the only one right?  We have that conversation that goes on in our head when we have to make a decision, and there is a need to weigh some options... Many cartoons have depicted the angel and the devil, each sitting on opposite shoulders, being our conscience and telling us what we should do from each perspective. 

But, what if I told you that it isn't really and angel and the devil, but instead a group of chimpanzees, which all have a different idea on what should be done, and are having a little argument?  Well, armed with the belief that I possibly came from apes, and that I have voices in my head telling me what to do, it seems only natural that I must have "chimps in my head".


This blog is about the stories and ideas that go through my head... I hope that some are funny, I am sure that some will be more serious, and some will likely be a total waste of space... but that's what you get when you let the chimps in your head rule the blog!


I dedicate this blog to my honey Sherri (who has her own uber-amazing blog High On Life and Gluten Free)... who has taught me love, patience, and happiness beyond what the chimps ever thought was attainable!
