/ˈdeɪʒɑː ˈvuː/ (help·info); French /deʒa vy/ (help·info) "already seen"; also called paramnesia, from Greek παρα "para," "near" + μνήμη "mnēmē," "memory") or promnesia, is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the near past), although the exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain. (this courtesy of Wikipedia)So I was just thinking about how much fun my last "weekend" was & recalled a moment of Déjà vu that I felt when I was getting ready for a party. So I thought to myself hmm, why not google it and see what kind of results I get. (I love to google and will often spend time just thinking of random thoughts, words, expressions, ideas, objects or people to serach for on google. Though you know what? If someone can recommend a different/better search engine, please tell me about it!)
After skimming through the various results besides the one for Wikipedia, I move on to checking email. One of my emails is the weekly horoscope by Rob Breszny. He's the guy who does them for City Pages here in the Twin Cities. Freewillastrology is one my favorites (Sign Language by Caeriel Crestin in Seattle Weekly is also great) I head down to read both the Cancer and Leo (I'm on the cusp and think both apply) and when I get to Cancer...well, do do do do (imagine that's the twilight zone theme) and check this out!
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Scientists and fundamentalist Christians don't share much common ground, but one thing most of them agree on devoutly: There's no such thing as reincarnation. Now I'm pleased to be able to offer you the chance to rebel against their dogmatic delusion. You see, Cancerian, it's an excellent time to try out the hypothesis that you have lived many times before and will live many times again. For one week, act as if it were true, and see how it changes the way you feel, think, and act. What if everything you do has repercussions forever?
There were some scientific explanations about deja vu and while they make some sense (or do they?) I prefer to think "there are more things on in heaven and earth..." and that just maybe one does get a 2nd chance to make that first impression. (And let's not kill 2 birds with one stone or count our chickens before they're hatched or waste not, want not, while we trip along the light fantastic)
This staying up this late has really got to stop. But I'm not really that tired right now. Or am I?
Maybe I'll write about something interesting tomorrow (uh, later today) and cut down on the blathering I've been doing the past couple of days.
G'night.
