Right Brain, Left Brain

I saw THIS quiz today and it got me wondering about brains. I've always been a right brain person, according to the quizzes, which makes sense. But, now my right brain is damaged pretty badly. It shows up as mostly black dead scar tissue on MRIs. Apparently, brains can adapt. Mine is now firing what it needs mostly through the left hemisphere. Amazing adaptation.. really. But, if this left/right theory is true, then why do I not feel any different in my preferences of interests? Math is still a dirty word and the only person I want to control is myself. And I'm still such a time bomb of spontaneous brain to mouth revelations, I could piss off the Pope. So, really, how does this shit work?


Then there's my granddaughter. She has actually had parts of her brain removed. The lower back part, the Cerebellum. Both left and right. Yet, she's the smartest kid I have ever met and that's no lie. The brain is just amazing and if we do have a soul, that's where it has to live. I mean, the heart is only a pump. It holds no emotion, no matter what Valentines say. But, the brain is like outer space. It seems to be infinite. It's weird, isn't it? I was watching an interview with Patrick Swayze right before he died, and he said, the cognitive brain is an energy which cannot be contained by flesh and blood. That's what I've always thought too. Maybe we're all one big computer network in the Universe. But, cool though and not Borg-like. (Don't you hate that hive mentality?) Heh.

So, left or right, what are you? Does it even make sense? I just took the quiz and it said I am left brained now. Doh, yeah, 'cause that's all I have left. It still looks boring to me. Interesting how it's changed sides because it had no choice. Yet, it left me feeling the same. Strange.
