Instinctive Driving?

I was driving home from the gym the other day and I ended up somewhere I wasn’t suppose to be at. It was really funny because I was concentrating on the road, but my head must have seriously been somewhere else. I own a 5 speed tC because the shifting keeps me awake in the car. If I drove a automatic, I think I would fall asleep. Seriously. Driving makes me sleepy. To keep me awake I also blast my music with my windows down and play some serious gangsta rap or rock music. It helps me keep focus on the road for long periods of time.

Anyway, the route I take involves a thirty to thirty-five minute drive to get homebound. This time however, it took me fourty-five. Why? I drove to my old condo. lol. I dont know what was going on in this brain of mine, but I literally pulled into the condominiums I moved out of almost a year ago. It was funny because I made all the turns, slowed down, pulled my car into my old parking space and stopped. It wasn’t until I turned off my vehicle that I realized that I didn’t live there anymore. I sat there for a good two or three minutes laughing at myself before I turned the car back on and headed home.

The mind works in funny ways sometimes. Maybe it sensed my exhaustion and led me back to the last place it instinctively remembers as home. lol.

Funny how the mind works, and how sometimes you do things without even realizing. Like when you keep writing 2005 on your papers when it’s 2006, or when you throw the trash to the right of you, then remember that you moved your trash can to the left yesterday.

Great layout, by the way. :)

Hahaha, the mind is indeed a wonderful thing. I saw something like this in an episode of ‘The Monk’, he wasn’t aware that is was the anniversary of the first time he met his departed wife, but he went to their old house and started to prepare her favorite dish. Until the true owners of the house called in the police and took away Detective Monk. With the help of a psychiatrist he was able to fix this memory problem. :D

Well, just always be careful when you’re on the road.

that’s quite interesting. it’s a good thing though that you still drived carefully and arrived your destination safely even though it wasn’t the intended one. hehe.

I normally am a careful driver. When I drive on a big road with no cars, thats when its time to worry a bit!
