A man goes to his doctor and tells him, “I’ve had the song ‘What’s New Pussycat’ stuck in my head for weeks, and it’s driving me crazy.”
The doctor says, “Well, I think you may have Tom Jones disease.”
The man says, “I’ve never heard of that. Is it rare?”
The doctor says, “It’s not unusual.”

It’s interesting that when you record all the “ums” and false starts in normal conversations, everyone sounds like a total idiot. When you see it in writing, you wonder, “who the fuck is this idiot, who appears unable to string together a single coherent and grammatical sentence, and whose every uttering is filled with ums and interruptions and false starts?” In fact, it’s you. This is how we speak. Everyone. You and I are that idiot who only gets every other sentence right. Sometimes, when I’m really holed up in my head, in over-analytic hyperintrospective mode, I start noticing that half of what I say is ungrammatical, and half of what everyone else says is ungrammatical too, and I get even more distracted as my mind loops further and further, and I suddenly have to think not only of all the other irrelevant things I’m thinking of, but also about whether what I’m about to say actually makes grammatical sense (in my native language!). I suppose the lesson here is just chill, dude.
