Deja Vu!

Last night I saw the movie Deja Vu. What a trippy movie! Who thinks of these things?! I really enjoyed it but I'm not gonna lie, something about it freaked me out. Maybe the whole somebody is secretly watching you thing or the terrorist thing but it did. I still have a little knot in my stomach that I had all night. I know this because I didn't sleep well. But I really did enjoy it as a movie! I don't know. Me and my imagination! haha One good thing about the house being full again for school will be the sense of security of having lots of people home. Always makes me feel better.

I don't really want to talk about Aggie Basketball right now. Let's just say they're not playing to their ability. They can do sooo much better!!! Hopefully, this is a huge wake up call and they'll go back to being the amazing team I know they are.

Hmm...speaking of Deja Vu...isn't that the weirdest thing? As you probably know, Deja Vu is a French term. Deja means already and Vu essentially means seen. So already seen. But funny enough, it's not used (at least in English) to mean "oh I've already seen that before" but the feeling that you've seen it, been to the place, remember that smell but you can't explain how, when, where, why. Why do we have these occurrences? Is it because we just have a really bad memory or is there something more behind it? I've always wondered if there's a reason that I am supposed to be having deja vu. I like to think that everything happens for a reason, even if we don't understand it. So the idea of deja vu fascinates me because it's one of those unexplained things that nobody has a definite answer for. Whatever. I'm just rambling at this point but if you've had deja vu before, you know what I mean!

I don't know if this would be considered a form of deja vu or if I'm just weird (probably the latter) but sometimes I see people and I feel like I know them and if I really did get to know them, we'd be good friends. Every time I've gotten to know someone that I've had this feeling about, we always click right away and become good friends. Weird? I think so. But at the same time, kinda fun! Maybe it's a premortal, "Saturday's Warriors" twins, kinda moment. Or maybe I just make an extra effort to like these people because I think I'm supposed to. Whatever the case may be, I consider it my own unique kind of deja vu!

I just did a little internet research on the term Deja Vu and this is the definition I found: the illusion of having previously experienced something actually being encountered for the first time. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher. Oddly, there is an opposite occurrence called Jamais Vu which means "never seen". Yes, it's when a familiar situation is not recognized by the observer. So there you have it! A little more on deja vu than you probably wanted to read about. Peace and love!

p.s. 20 days til my birthday!!!
