why is it

I feel like I'm rapping that "Funk dat" song from the early '90's when I start by saying "Why is it..." I know you know what I'm talking about.

Why is it that when people are thinking about a date that they look at a clock, or vice versa when they're thinking about a time they look at a calendar as if it will give inspiration? I know you know what I'm talking about.

Why is it that the NKOTB song that has this line in it "Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?" just popped into my head? Other than that I think about NKOTB literally every 5 minutes since 1988. That is literally the only verse I can think of in the whole song, but I keep saying it over and over again. I guess it did blow my mind.
