So, recently a documentary came to town that like most films I didn't see. It was called "What The Bleep Do We Know". Recently some friends of mine saw this on DVD and they were amazed by what they saw and raved about it. I have yet to see it, but I am really looking forward to borrowing that DVD. The night Sara saw it she told me much about it and what she said had the ring of truth about it. I remember one ancidote Sara told me about water being changed simply by labels put on the bottles. Specific thought went each label via words like "Love" and "I hate you". Through an electron microscope, they were able to see these changes. Remember we are something like 80% water. Pretty neat stuff huh?

I filed it away under "Good to know, must research more later". I never really got a chance to do that and I am still meaning to. Instead, what falls into my lap is this article which suggested that people who were "jinxed" where electronic doodads are concerned might be causing the problem at a much lower level than simple PEBKAC (Problem Exist Between Keyboard and Chair). I'm talking the electron level via their own "bad vibes". This tripped a trigger in me and I bookmarked the news article so I could bring it up once I had seen the movie.

I still haven't seen the movie.

So most things, both positive and negative, seem to come in threes. Tonight, I am kicked back in my office long after hours reading a book that Sara bought called You The Owner's Manual. Being dyslexic, reading is generally more difficult, so being in a place without distraction to read (like my office) is a good thing. So I am reading (slowly but surely) and there starting on the bottom of page 57 I'm seeing this same thing all over again. Positive thoughts are more healthy than negative ones, thus depression and rage can make you physically sick. "Duh. We all know that." It is what you are thinking isn't it? So why did you think "bull pucky" when I referenced the water experiment? Why did you think "unlikely" when I mentioned people's bad vibes having an effect on their electronics? These are all different examples of the same thing, only two of them we have never really thought about before.

Do you know a "drama queen"? You may even be one yourself. You find yourself constantly surrounded by drama in your life that you can't seem to get away from, and may even find entertaining. Who is the most unlucky person you know? Who is the most lucky? These are living breathing examples of the power the more organized electrons in our heads are exerting on the less organized electrons everywhere else. Or maybe our skulls hold the chaos and we spin the order of our subatomic surroundings. Either way, it is interesting science, interesting philosophy, or if you insist, interesting bull pucky.

What I am walking away with is, in the immortal words of Bobby Mcfarren, "Don't worry, be happy". My good health, my good luck, and my sunny disposition depend on it.
