I am crazy. On my last blog, I categorized many of the small things that make me crazy. In fact, that whole blog is mainly a monument to my insanity. I have kept most of the things that go through my head from this blog for a while now, but no more!
For some reason, I am almost always doing math in my head. For example, if I see a digital clock display, I tend to figure out all of the prime numbers that are multiples of that number. I have been doing this for most of my life. There are other operations I consistently perform in my head, determining if numbers are can be evenly divided by 4 or 8 for example, but I have one that stems from being a musicians that I wanted to relate. When I am performing repetitive actions I count them in my head, but I don’t count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9…, I count 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4… For example, when I am running I am count 1 2 3 4 over and over again in my head. Always 1 2 3 4, and I wonder if this is a side effect of playing a lot of 4/4 rock music for the past 16 years. Do non-musicians count like this in their head? Did Johann Strauss II count 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3…?
As a side note: Is the Count from Sesame Street really named “Count von Count?”
