Sometimes you have to follow through with a bad idea

Experiencing life is about perceiving changes. Changes help put your life in perspective. Without changes in your life you would not be experiencing life you would be merely existing. Say, for example, you have a day where you get up, do your daily thing, and everything goes really well. Now imagine that every day is just like that. Pretty soon the days aren’t good days, they are simply days.

Almost everyone has a little voice in their head. Something to stop you when you are about to do something stupid. That would be what is usually depicted as the angel sitting on your shoulder. We also have a voice that points you down the crooked path. That’s the devil we see on peoples’ shoulders. I think most people listen to the angel more than they do the devil. In the big picture I think more people do what they consider “good” things than not. Getting to bed at a decent hour on a weeknight, feeding and clothing your children, not stabbing that hobo in the eye with a spork. Those are the actions of a lot of people, and our world is probably better for it.

But sometimes you give in to that other voice. Sometimes it’s a sneaky voice and you don’t realize what you are doing until it’s too late, other times you look right at your best friend before a night out and say things like “We’re drinking tequila tonight.” or “I’m going to vomit tonight. I don’t know when or where, but I am giving you a heads up that it is indeed going to happen.” Sometimes you need to embrace the other side, walk arm in arm with the devil and hope to God you survive. Sometimes you think after 6 hours in a bar “Shit, this hangover is gong to be a killer.” But that’s alright. In fact, that’s great. You are giving yourself a measuring rod for your fun. How can you truly appreciate how much fun you had if there are no consequences? So next time you have a truly horrible idea, don’t flinch, look the devil in the eye, grin real wide, punch him in the mouth, and say “Your move bitch.”

Quantum Entanglement, The many-worlds interpretation, and Déjà vu

Entanglement has been shown to be a correlation between two particles. This correlation is such that, even with an infinite amount of space and/or time separating the particles, physically manipulating one particle will result in a reaction in the correlating particle. Now sit and think about this even with an infinite amount of space separating the two particles they are linked so much that physically manipulating one will result in a reaction by the other. Amazing.

The many worlds interpretation postulates that there are an infinite number of universes in which everything that can happen did happen. For every choice you make there is a universe for each possible outcome. Now sit and think of how many choices you have in a day, or even an hour. It’s almost infinite.

Think of all the choices you have made, how many of those would result in an extremely different life than you would be living right now, would the clothes you picked out make that big of a difference? What about what you had for breakfast? Or maybe which way you took to work this morning? Chances are any of those things could have changed and you would still be sitting here reading this. So would it be that difficult to imagine out of all those realities, that more than a couple of them would be remarkably similar? It’s been said that people only use about 10% of their brain capacity, what if that’s because only 10% of the particles of your brain are in a universe that is close enough to this one that they can work as one functioning brain. It is my theory that every particle in the human body is entangled with an infinite number of particles in an infinite number of parallel universes. So in essence, our bodies and minds exist not as separate entities in these parallel universes but as one being spread out across the multi-verse.

Now most of us have experienced déjà vu at some point. I theorize that déjà vu is not some feeling that you have experienced something before, but rather you are experiencing the same thing, at the same time, in different universes. Think on it for a minute. Most of the times you have experienced déjà vu has it been before or after something has happened? After right? That’s because you can’t recall doing something until after it’s happened. I have never had an experience where I walk into a room and think “Man, I’m about to have déjà vu.” It’s always been “Whoa! What just happened?”

In the corner of my mind

Stands a shelf on which I keep all the random, neurotic, uncatagorized thoughts that pop into my head over the course of my average day.  This will be the place where I take each thought off the shelf, set it on my workbench, dust it off, and polish it up for the world to see.  It brings to mind an antique shop run by a man as ancient as his wares, and almost as strange.

So beware.
