I HATE THE PATTERN I HATE THE PATTERN

i think my cat smokes
big fat cubano cigars
when I'm not looking

(this is killing me)

In real life, you often have to deal with things you don't completely understand. You drive a car, not knowing how its engine works. You ride as passenger in someone else's car, not knowing how that driver works. Most strange of all, you drive your body and your mind, not knowing how your own self works. Isn't it amazing that we can think, not knowing what it means to think? Isn't it remarkable that we can get ideas, yet not explain what ideas are?
