frogs ribbit'in jibberish in my mind
i want to talk a little more soberly and in depth on Deja Vu, it is such a fascinating mystery...i know i am not alone or unique in this but, i have for most of my life expreienced Deja Vu, the feeling of having had already seen or experienced something..for me it usually comes in moments, fleeting glimpses of a way something feels and the still frame of my surroundings and often a word or phrase that triggers it. David O sent me a link to howstuffworks.com that talks about deja vu...
while reading, i understood that in some cases in which i have experienced this deja vu, it was no more than a weird feeling of the repetition of something familiar, and this is not necessarily explainable, but some theorize that :
"Another potential explanation involves a glitch in the exquisitely timed processes of perception and cognition. This theory proposes that sensory impressions of a current experience get detoured in the brain and are not immediately perceived. The information is, however, stored as a memory. This split-second delay in cognition creates the unsettling impression that the event "is being experienced and recalled simultaneously," (Time magazine).
this theory could account for many of the times i have experienced the feeling of deja vu, but not for some...These past experiences over the previous few days, on which i commented about in yesterdays drunken slur, were something else entirely. I dreamt about these moments in time, whether i had fully functional dreams and only recalled moments when i awoke, or i only dreamt the moments themselves...but i woke up and consciously recognized these moments, just short experiences, but i was conscious enough of them to think about it, and wonder about what the rest of the dream's context was...
and then days later i experienced the same moments again. this is not a brain slip that allows me to mistake present for past, i was fully aware of these moments days ago, and then relived them. There are other theories for deja vu, some dealing with wish fulfillment, and i wonder if this would fall into that category, perhaps it meant i was looking for the same moment from my dream subconsciously or something, i dont' really understand the full meaning behind the wish fulfillment theory, in that i wasnt trying to relive a dream, some sort of hopeful experience i wished to live out in reality, these were just moments, nothing spectacular or deserving of fulfillment.
and speaking of DEJA VU...this is familiar, Ebay removed my Pete and Pete Auction due to yet another count of violating its Recordable Media Copyright Policy...damnit, once again, alf is still fine, but pete and pete is gone, and it was an hour from ending and was over 60 bucks when i checked last night, just after i bought 50 bucks worth of new blank tapes, and since it was removed i cant even find out who bid on it to contact them directly...well im not sure what i'm going to do this time, last year when this happened i reworded and relisted the auction in a slightly more ambiguous way to avoid suspicion, but that was also removed, and then i took a 6 month break from selling, only to come back recently with a vengence, rip roaring out the gate, making over 500 bucks in a 2 weeks...but anyway, ill figure it out, but to avoid those bastards at ebay, just buy my videos directly from me here and ummm here.
