Snap!

I went to a different coffee joint a few days ago to unwind. After attempting to gracefully sip my raspberry mocha that was covered with a mountain of whipped cream, I noticed a man about my age as he was exiting the establishment. I first noticed how much I had to raise my eyes just to see his head; he was tall. Dirty blonde hair, skinny, messenger bag slung over his shoulder. As he went to open the door he tried to slyly drop his trash in the can, only to fail miserably and completely miss the hole. It clanged on the floor and I thought he was going to ignore it. To my surprise, though, Mr. Smooth turned and noticed his mishap. It was then that I saw his face. He looked familiar. I racked my brain. Where was this kid from? When had I seen him? UD? No, no one else from this area goes to UD. Where? Then, a few minutes later, after having abandoned the book I had so excitedly gone there to read, I figured it out. With the snap of a finger my brain had solved the puzzle. How does it do it? Keep all that information stored and when you need it, it's able to recall as if you only gained the information yesterday. The brain: "just a bunch of nerve cells," my brother says, but I say, "Amazing!"
