Have you been in a situation where your mind is suddenly in a jam; not sure of what to make of a certain situation? It is like going to Baskin Robbins Ice Cream and seeing “Nasi Lemak Rendang Cotton Candy” flavoured ice cream with real rice, rendang, anchovies, eggs, and sambal; all mixed into a tub of Cotton Candy flavoured ice cream. Is this nasi lemak or ice cream? Is this a main meal or a dessert? Brain jammed. Mind jammed. Mouth jammed. Everything jammed.
I had a mind jamming session recently. I was handed a spanking new Abu Garcia MAX X spinning reel and my mind froze. It looks so much like a toy. Not just any toy, but a toy that I have at home. I am not saying that it is ugly or badly designed. No. Far from that. It does look nice actually. But for a few moments I was lost. I then thought that this perhaps is a prototype or something along those lines. But no; it is indeed the real deal. This reel seems to have been designed to execute some trickery of the mind.
