Bordom down to my Science

Okay, so I have no clue if bordom has been deeply studied by scientists and what it really is, but here’s my thought on it. My scientific version of bordom is the obvious, being tired of the same activity. Animals get bored, too. Dogs and cats both, it’s commmonly known. I always think our dog gets bored when he decides to chew the chair leg or even work his teeth into the peeling lenolium on the kitchen floor. Or my catw when she finds herself in the closet and meows as if she’s so lost and I have to rescue her, when all she has to do is turn around and walk out. A cat walking on the piano keys, like one of our cats does, means its bored, I feel, and not a sign of the next four-legged Mozart. So, now that we got that out of the way, I’m thinking of why we do the weird stuff when bored. Why do we decide to do something crazy because we felt like it? LIke when I was standing around between washing dogs and waiting for them to dry. Too much time to do nothing. so I took a cue tip and a scrap of paper towel and poked a hole in the paper towel to stick on the cue tip as my version of the world’s tiniest umbrella. Then the manager walked in and asked me, smiling, “what erare you doing?” as I dangle my legs over the edge of the dryer as it tumbles towels. “Nothing,” I say, startled at seeigseeing her, and drop my world’s first micro umbrella for a–haha–microburst storm. “I see that,” she answers as I jump down to the floor and try to act normal. “I got bored,” I said, feeling suddenly dumb, “and tried making an umbrella,” I held up the world’s smallest, droopiest umbrella out to her. She’s not impressed. The umbrella would only block out two raindrops.
So that was on Christmas Eve. NO one wanted to work that day and neither did I , and we were all bored in a sense. Bordom is also a time of being dissatisfied with the familiar things around you. You might have a lot of options, like the choice between going for a bike ride, watching TV, or writing that poem, but to each one as you run through the ideas, they don’t appeal to you. ARe you spoiled for turnign down so many choices? maybe. But none of them sound good. So you look elsewhere, and hopefully it’s not in drugs or drinking, or in a recent, real crime, stealing gold-plated tombstones from Veterans because you were bored. Yes, that latter part really happened in my area and the stones may not be replaced because of their expense. So, bordom can drive a person crazy. To do crazy, stupid, sick things. All in all, bordom is just a feeling we cope with. NOt the greatest thing to feel. I think it rates up there with depression and disappointment. TIP: Feeling bored?

I Forgot…or did I?

Last night I forgot my blog password and kicked myself for not writing it down. So I was in bed trying to remember it, and then after a while of recalling the day I changed my password to what I forgot it to be, the answer came to me in a flash. Yes, I knew the passowrd! So what is forgetting? They say even though we forget something from the past, it’s always there in the subconscious, which explains the times when we dream of “forgotten” past moments from childhood and such. Wehn I read my journals from three years back, as I was the other day, I came across some entries that reminded me of the things I experienced and felt about that my mind had stopped remembering as time past. IT made me wonder how we could have so many stored experiences and memories in our brains on top of the recent ones in our lives. I read that people who are hypnotized enter back to the subconscious and can reexperience whatever past moment needs to be seen and I wonder what exactly is responsible for storing such a multitude of memories, and feelings attached to them. Someone told me that elderly people actually have many folds in their brains after living for so long and experiencing so many events that they’d forgotten but the brain had preserved by all that folding. WE do know the hypocampus is in charge of long-term memory and such, so perhaps it can be said the hypocampus is our internal–er–memory card. A disc filled with all the files and documents of life we’ve lived. So, when we forget, it is more like when our minds clear space for new information to be processed. Because if we did remember everything we ever experienced and all from the time our memories developed as young children–age three–I think it’d overwhelm us. So our memories that we call “forgotten” are simply automatically stored away for later retreival. If we break down the word “forget” we could think of the word “get” as reaching for that particular memory. AS for “for” , that I haven’t figured out yet. TIPS FOR REMEMBERING: 1. Slowly repeat back information someone is giving you, such as a phone number or a task you’re asked to carry out. 2. Repeat the phone number several times slowly to remember it better if pen and paper isn’t handy at the moment but you need to dial the number shortly. and 3. Write everything down if all else fails, E.G. computer passwords, phone numbers, names, ect. And don’t forget it!

The Most Important Five…

I’m about to be stranded on an island and all I can bring for entertainment is a CD containing five of my favorite songs on it. Which songs will I choose and what for? 1. Mmmbop by Hanson; Why: This song reminds me of great times as I grew up, times around the memorable years during adolescence–it’s a happy song, and if I get really depressed I’ll just play it and sing it really, really loudly! 2. Power of Love by Hewy Louis and the News (also from Back to the Future) Why: for For one thing, it’s from my favorite movie, Back to the Future, and for another, it’s just really cool. 3. Everglow by Mae Why: It’s a song about hope, about a way out and if I’m stuck on this island, I’ve got to have hope. 4. Who we Are by LIfehouse Why: Wel, it’s a song about the past and coming full circle to the present in seeing how much one has changed. For time on the island, this rock song will remind me of a time of modern-day civilization and who I once was and who I will become after leaving the island–if I am rescued. and, 5. Prayer by Celine Deon Why: I have to have a shred of hope for when I sleep at night and for the new day. Prayer will be a perfect song. Okay, so what would you bring with you for songs if you were stuck on this island like me? Isn’t it really cool how the music and songs we love are like time machines? YOU can listen to a song and your mind is transported back to the memory/s associated with them. For me, the first memory to come to mind with a particular song is the first one formed when I first heard the song. Like Sixpence’s Kiss Me always beings brings me back to the spring of 1999, when my sisters and friend were camping out in our little camper in the field. Surrounding that song is the smell of roasting marshmellows over our measly campfire and a lot of laughter to silly jokes I can’t recall now. The memories are forever stamped upon my mind and always brings back such vivid, warm emotions linked to them. Songs, the gift of music, a freeing experience all its own.
