Yesterday and again this morning, I thought about something rather interesting, to me anyway. Sometimes random things go through my head and this happens to be one of them. Take it however you like… I just want to put this down somewhere, and hopefully get a little input from other people.

I was thinking about the notion of multiple dimensions and how they are perceived by me (and possibly other humans). Originally, I think I was pondering how a supreme being could exist in more dimensions than we can experience. I had a thought that when I experience a sense of déjà vu, I am really experiencing a form of another dimension.

Now, I realize that some scientists have discarded déjà vu as an impulse in the brain, where the signal is sent to the short term memory at the same time it is perceived by the senses/mind. That gives you the feeling that you have seen the same place/been in the same situation before because while you’re experiencing it, you also think that you are remembering it from a previous time. The fact that you can’t place the time has to do with it all happening at that particular moment… Anyway…

Back to my theory… Déjà vu seems to be interpreted as something like a mental image, feeling, sensation, or any combination of those. In this case, my déjà vu would actually have been me experiencing a different dimension, but I interpreted it in a way that I had felt like I had experienced it before. Perhaps I had… I can’t be sure that other dimensions exist and if they do, whether or not I can interact with them (consciously or subconsciously).

To put this another way… instead of typing this blog entry, say I was sitting on a beautiful island beach with the warm breeze blowing through my hair. I would be experiencing a different set of emotions and thoughts. Now say that was still happening, but in a different dimension, apart from my current state. Through some sort fluke (call it what you will), my current state sort of latched into the emotions, thoughts, or just a stream of randomness that would be going on in that other dimension. The only way that I can currently explain this is a feeling of déjà vu, when in actuality, it could have just been a multidimensional communication…

Now, to put this in even more abstract terms, think about this… Perhaps this is the only dimension where my physical body exists. There could be a dimension, that some portion of me (a part of my soul, for example) exists in, where only thoughts are present. Maybe it’s the “me” in that dimension attempting to communicate with this one, and I’m just not completely aware how to, in this dimension…

So to go back to something that I have thought of in times past… While at certain concerts, I wondered if the artist was feeding off the energy of those around them in order to tap into a stream of energy. That stream of energy could from be a different dimension. When the artists were “in the zone” it seemed as though they were not quite paying attention to what was going on around them, but instead just hooked up to another source of input and describing it through their music/performance.

That’s what I have for now.. Maybe I’ll come back to this, but in any case hopefully this isn’t too confusing…

I heard this twice in a pretty recent/short time span now, and I was beginning to think that I just plain offended pretty girls. So… I called the girl who first told me the “I want to be single for a while” line. But first, a little background info…

I met this great girl while in Baltimore and we started hanging out a little. We went on a couple dates and things seemed to be progressing nicely. I could tell that her mind was on some other things, occasionally, and she seemed apprehensive about [my damn smooth] advances, etc… Eventually, she just came out and told me that she had just broken up with her boyfriend right before I met her, and she wanted to be single for a while. Not really knowing what that meant, I just figured that I would just take it slower and see what happened… Anyway, to make the story somewhat short, we’ve just become good friends. So, I talked to her this last weekend because another girl gave me pretty much the same line. When I heard it, I kind of giggled and wondered what the fuck was wrong with me, etc…

To put in normal guy lingo what “I want to be single for a while” means… that the girl wants to see who else is out there. Basically, you don’t fit the 100% perfect man ideal that the girl has, so she wants to see if there is someone out there who does. I suppose girls think it’s a nice way to keep things open but still look for someone better. It doesn’t mean that opportunity is gone or anything, but they’re just not ready to settle for your ass, yet…

Not to be confused by the trendy song from Ashley Simpson…

The house inspection went well.  There were a couple minor things that were found, but nothing major…. so that looks like it’ll all go through nicely.  When I get done learning a little song that has been on my mind lately, I’ll post some pictures, etc.

Other than that, I spent the majority of the weekend with a friend who will forever own pieces of my heart.  For the first time in what seems like forever (probably closer to a year or two), I enjoyed a smile on my face for long periods of time.  I have to admit that feeling joy like that has been sort of vacant from me for too long, and  I can only hope that it continues… it was a welcomed change.

On a less mushy side of things 🙂  I’m slightly curious what will become of this blog.  I enjoy writing my ramblings, the fact that people actually read this still amazes me, but I don’t think it’ll go the direction I originally thought.  I figured that when I turned 60 or so, I could come back to this, read a couple posts, and laugh at my personality/issues… It seems that there will be so much info, that I’ll probably just get lazy and not do that.  Who knows though… time shall tell.

I put an offer on a house earlier this week. The seller came back with a counter offer, which I then proceeded to accept. The change in the offer had to do with the seller not leaving a couple appliances and pushing the closing date back about 10 days… Not a big deal. So now, I’m scheduled to meet with an inspector today and run through the house. Apparently this process takes about 3 hours… It should be quite a good learning experience. Provided that goes through without a hitch, the only other obstacle that I foresee is making sure the financing is all set. The closing date is set for October 25th now, and I’ll provide more info as it comes my way.

I have begun to use Google alerts… I saw a link along the bottom of my screen and figured what the hell, I’ll give it a whirl. It’s sort of nice. It basically provides customized search results to gmail. For instance, I put a google alert to notify me (email me) whenever "Geurts" comes up in the news.

I have one other thing on my mind currently. I’m just curious how much it costs to make a penny. It has to be more than the currency is worth. Sort of ironic, I think…
