“My mind’s a blank” is a line from the second original song I recently wrote, “Catastrophizing.”
My mind’s a blank when I try to find things to say about these photos I took yesterday:
My mind’s a blank when I try to describe how Michael transforms a blank plate into a lovely feast.
My mind’s a blank when I hear some people’s ideas about how to keep a school safe. Guns? Metal Detectors? Panic buttons? Cameras? Cupcakes?
My mind’s a blank when I
- eat too much sugar,
- catastrophize,
- am really impressed,
- get very nervous,
- am in pain,
- have to deliver a speech,
- consider current American politics,
- try to meditate,
- look at a hostile or disapproving face,
- need to fill out a form,
- feel overcome by emotions,
- wonder what I’m going to blog about in the future,
- wonder about the future in general,
- don’t get enough sleep,
- am about to perform in front of people,
- can’t find the right words,
- encounter cruelty or stupidity, and
- think about people I love who are dying.
When is your mind a blank?
“My Mind’s a Blank” by Wiretaps gets blank reactions on YouTube.
Is your mind a blank here and now? If so, will you leave a blank comment?
Even when a card is blank inside ….
… it can still say “Thank You.”
Thanks to all who help me create these posts even when my mind’s a blank and — of course! — to you, for temporarily blanking out everything else to read this blog.
My mind’s a blank when I…
* look at sheet of blank white paper
* have to do a writing prompt
* get between my white bed-sheets tonight
* have to write an answer to an “Award” I’ve been given by another blogger
* wake up to a white frosty morning
* write and blog all night
* listen to my music, especially “A Whiter Shade Of Pale”
* eat white chocolate
My mind’s a blank, Ivor, so here’s some music:
Thank you Ann, I love this song..xx
One of the best recordings of all time
Yes, surely is my friend 😊
Isn’t it quite something, Ann, that the reaction to too much stimuli can be to have your mind come up with too little?
You’re quite something, Mark.

My mind’s a blank when I don’t see Harley…
My mind’s a blank.
Roald Dahl’s The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar begins with the title character, who’s a conniving, obscenely wealthy man, reading about someone in India who develops extraordinary psychic powers. When Henry sits down and makes his mind a blank he discovers he has a talent for the same powers, and this leads to him being transformed into an incredibly generous person, helping children all over the world.
Among other things I take that as a lesson about what we can become when we open our minds.
Also I’m now officially a fan of the Wiretaps.
Thank you for your open mind, Chris.
My mind’s a blank often now. Can’t remember people’s names, can’t remember what I was going to say, can’t remember what I was going to do next. Kind of scary.
Our mind’s get blank like that when we get older, Dawn, but think of all that we ARE remembering.
My mind is often blank when it is this cold of a morning sometimes it feels like my brain is still asleep and the rest of my body is up and doing stuff
I don’t like the blanking cold, Joanne.
My mind’s a blank wondering what school safe cupcakes are…
My blank guess is that allergens, like peanuts, are blanked out. I appreciate your mind, Lisa!
My mind’s a blank, except for what I just wrote. 🙂
You are blanking great, Elva!
Dammit. WP won’t let me send a blank comment
