Good Vibrations

Sometimes you hear people say "That person gives me a good vibe"; it's a fuzzy out of focus way of describing how a person effects you. I propose that there might actually be a scientific use for this term.
The other day I was discussing how the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know" described the work of Masaru Emoto as proof that there are powers and forces beyond our knowledge. Emoto's experiments suggest that the mind has the ability to effect and shape matter.
In case you haven't heard of Masaru Emoto:
"Emoto's water crystal experiments consist of exposing water in glasses to different words, pictures, or music, and then freezing and examining the aesthetics of the resulting crystals with microscopic photography."

The images seem to suggest that positive thought and music makes water form aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical shapes while negative images and thoughts result in chaotic structures. Most internet resources about the phenomenon seem to use the images as evidence for supernatural and spiritual forces that in fact exist in the real world. I'm not necessarily refuting anyone's claims, but I am offering an alternative explanation.
I was thinking about it the other day I realized something. Water itself, whether it is a vast ocean or a small pond exhibit a range of disturbances from large giant waves down to the tiniest microscopic ripples. Picture the cup of water in that famous scene in Jurassic Park where the Tyrannosaurus was approaching. Each thumping step made the cup vibrate with ripples. What if that cup of water was sensitive to all vibrations not just dinosaurs? What if even if you can't see it, a cup of water not to mention all water was vibrating as a result of the energy around it? The human body is mostly water, but it is an electrical system. Maybe the collective activity of our circulatory system, nervous system, and whatever else is giving an overall vibration. I've heard people say that the human body gives off non-visible spectrums of light and that's what an Aura is.
It would be like giving off a quiet note. Maybe certain thoughts are like a B flat and others are an F sharp. Where some thoughts and states of the body leave us in a soothing rythmic pattern others make us give off nails scratching along a chalkboard. If water was sensitive to this, and it was possible to freeze or photograph the water while it was in a given state, then Emoto's experiment would be explainable with known scientific method.
Unfortunately, Emoto is criticized because others have not necessarily been able to get the same results. My point isn't really even to prove that emoto is wrong or right. I'm only suggesting that some people might actually be giving off good vibrations. Sometimes they're a note that fits our own rythm with perfect harmony. Sometimes a person disturbs your inner pool into a chaotic mess. I for one am going to be more conscious of whether or not someone gives me good vibrations because I prefer that my life be a song that others will keep playing on repeat.

Let's make some music together,

An empty warm impression

You're used to laying in bed alone, until someone comes into it offering a warm body to comfort your life like a blanket. Then the person gets uncomfortable because you're crowding their space. They're too hot and you're making them sweat. Your elbows are jabbing so they have to get up. The person moves to the couch or the guest room because rest is no longer possible with you. I recently saw this as an allegory for why people stay single longer and divorce earlier today.

Perhaps my opinion is shaped by living in Hollywood, or perhaps it's the sign of the facebook relationship status times; a committed relationship is an impossible combination lock that is as transient as it is elusive. Is it the under-whelming supply of soy-ice-blended-combo-meal choices that leave us consistently hungry for more unsatisfaction? Has modern fiction convinced us of a romantically comedic ideal that reality just can't live up to? Or has the fruit of our looms been spoiled rotten by over-exposure? Our more-exciting-than-ever-before storybook lives just can't seem to settle down for a happy ending that doesn't have a plural "s" added to the end of it (happy endings).

The unfortunate fortune that I'm telling is that while you're temporarily hot and bothered by a crowded relationship, you're insignificant other is left to stare at an empty warm impression in a once comfortable bed.

The star of David is an evite

Today my server was wearing a Jewish star. Being that I recently started to learn about the Jewish religion I wanted to strike up a conversation about it with him. It made me realize that my compliment was the whole point. The piece of jewelry was an outward display, an all caps tweet invitation to share common ground. Whether it's a purse we saw on sex and the city or a pair of lebron James kicks, we wrap our packages in invitations to our lives like everyone is a potential party guest. I'm probably being captain obvious, but there's a Jewish star of some sort hanging on the neck of every person that crosses your path. In your life, what do you usually check on the RSVP.

Big Bang Theory

Have u ever met someone and felt stirred? Deep in the places beyond time? Like a giant mythical beast awoke from an infinite slumber. I recently met a woman with whom it would be a severe under statement to say that meeting her was a tripple shot of espresso in an otherwise drowsy year. Maybe that's what a connection is. zero viscocity. A microcosmic celestial event. The simultaneous death and birth of a new galaxy of possibilities.
