my dome

I've recently been reading a lot on the internet about concussions, and their long-term effects. It's been suggested by many in the medical community that every time you get a concussion, that makes it easier for you to get a concussion next time.

I refuse to get on board with this. My skullpiece does not accrue damage, it simply becomes well seasoned, like a good cast-iron skillet. That's right, my head is like a skillet. It is only because I haven't been hit in the head enough that I sometimes forget where my keys are, or people's names, or how to get home from the North Avenue rail station. Have you ever tried to make cornbread in a halfway seasoned cast iron skillet? It sticks and falls apart, and lacks flavor.

Ok, ok, so- some of you naysayers may side with the medical community; modern technology, advancements in medicine, and so on. Need I remind you that there was a time when leeches were used as medical instruments, bloodletting was commonplace, and patients were told to ingest mercury? Maybe it's possible that we just don't know enough about this brain-skillet relationship yet. I intend to press on with my personal research.
