My New Favorite Word

I have a new favorite word. Actually, I've liked this word for awhile. I'm not quite sure why... maybe because it's definition can be applied to a variety of different things. I find it surprising that I like this word, only because it is, essentially, attached to a subject that I most abhor simply because of ALL the mathematical equations that are tied to it. This subject: physics.

Can you guess the word?

Probably not.

It's inertia. I remember the first time that I heard the word. It was, perhaps, 7th grade or 8th grade... actually, I think it WAS 8th grade. Mrs. Medeiros' science class. We were all learning the basics of physics and this, being one of Newton's many physical laws, was important to know.

It didn't hit me as a favorite until my senior year of high school when I was actually taking a physics course. Of course, the word popped up again and that's when the meaning hit me.

Newton's First Law. An object will continue to move the way its is moving unless it is acted on by an outside force. Why? The object's inertia.

And I thought: That could be anything... and anybody.

Think about it for a second and you will realize the beauty that is inertia.

I have to admit that while I hate physics, they pretty much control life, even down to our emotional states. I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?"... awesome... truly awesome and true.

I mean, the thing about water and emotions? Totally cool.

Besides being totally in love with random words, I'm finding that I'm starting to look at things differently. Perhaps I should say more practically. Maybe. Hopefully.

I'm starting to realize all the things that I need to think about and not trying to freak out about it. Crazy, I know. Which is why I have to think of things like "What the Bleep" and inertia and to continually stay positive about my outlook.

Hehehehe... it can be done!

Aussie Chase

Contrary to what the title may sound like, I'm not chasing Australians... just an Australian shepherd. He stole a sock of mine and proceeded to run around my tiny bedroom. The funny thing was... I really couldn't catch him! How DOES he do that? Is it because he lacks a tail? Something related to physics and wind speed velocity? Or maybe I'm just laughing too hard. Hopefully, that's it, because that dog seriously has no grace :)

So, I haven't written in awhile. It's partly because I've been working on so many other projects and partly because I'm actually finding myself rather busy, and then the last part? Well, you could just blame that on BBC and Doctor Who... I HAD to finish all the episodes TO DATE. Not really interested in seeing the new guy in the season going on right now... I mean, I'm sure he's cool and I'll learn to like him after 3 episodes as is common... BUT, I kinda loved David Tennant's version. Then again, I liked Christopher Eccleston too and thought David Tennant's version was crazy for the first few episodes... so, the cycle will probably just begin again... Matt Smith, I will soon love you too. Don't worry.

By the way... yea, I'm a dork and love geeky television shows. While they have the corniest graphics sometimes, you gotta give it to them for their lovely actors and lovely dialogue. Seriously witty stuff.

Anyway....

I'm determined to give you all:

INTENTIONS FOR AUGUST!!!!!

This month's is actually rather short as I am trying to make it easier on myself. Okay, it's not REALLY that hard BUT I would like to meet ALL of my intentions instead of just MOST of them. Here it goes...

This month I intend to stay positive. I've hit a rather rough patch in my job search/career search and have found myself mad at the world... and rather bored with life. Not exactly sad as much as frustrated. I need to stay positive and to keep reminding myself that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel... as long as I believe there is one.

How's that for positive?

I also want to keep up with this more... even if that means writing an entire post about pickles, cucumbers, sea cucumbers or pickled kittens...
Let's just see where this leads me...
