Brain: Cortisol? Iʻll pump more of that out.

I assume this is how they got the idea for Too Many Cooks.

Me: im bored but have to sit through this, how about some patience? Brain: sorry all i got is pure rage

For me, it's always Friends.

"So no one told you life was gonna be this way..." on repeat, because I can never remember the next line.

[Mumble mumble] "You're broke" [mumble mumble] "DOA..."

Also your brain sings it with the wrong words even though you know the right words.

🎵Too many cooks!🎶

"No, stop!"

"Okay, here's a montage of your most shameful memories."

"... back to Full House please."

My brain always replays 10 seconds of pop music or old commercials songs.

Me: I just want to feel good.

Brain: Oh we're fresh out of that. I'm afraid all we have left is existential dread about the certain knowledge of your total insignificance and failure!

Me: ...

Alcohol: I gotchu fam.

Adrenaline and cortisol baby, we ride the chaos in this house

The milkman the paperboy and evening TV

Ooouuuuuur house!

...

In the middle of our street

It’s everywhere I look

Everywhere you look

Toby fox making flowerys song

Shooba do bop ba DOW!

It's a rare condition, this day and age...to read any good news on the newspaper page.

I have this superpower where I can change the channel at will, but, it's only cheesy 90's hits OR 90's eurodance. Still, beats a one line repeat.

Does it have any Bavarian cream donuts?

Your mangled brain would like you to know there is a boxer named Contact Mike.

Inside Neil Cicierega's mind

The past few days it has been "Where the goth girls at" circulating through my noggin (I think I only heard that Queens of the Stone Age song once).

Nah let's do a random hyperfocus for a few weeks!

Broken serotonin huh? That's rough. I mean mine never worked right to begin with, but at least I got to learn how to live with suicidal ideation as a small child.

Cortisol and random Epinephrine spikes while talking to other people.

The serotonin machine is actually your gut

My brain will randomly play back entire Englebert Humperdinck songs in the middle of stuff I'm supposed to pay attention to...

My brain just gives me lots of norepinephrine.

I'm very fortunate that my neurodivergences are not detrimental (most of the time). Like, I have a soundtrack playing in my mind constantly if there is not a song playing within earshot (currently "listening" to this). Since my "day" job is music, it makes improvising imitating other musicians easier.

That last sentence is absolutely fucked, how has no one pointed that out? It's word sallad.
