Deja Vu

I was surprised that in a conversation on Deja Vu, 3 different perceptions came out.  One person felt it reflected real past memories to some extent, one person felt it repeats some vision of the future he had experienced vividly in a past dream or thought.  He believes this to such an extent that he claims he can make predictions of the future when deja vu hits him.  I have the consensus view that deja vu reflects the perception of a repeat event, but in reality, that past event did not occur.  

  - The FIRST version is a morphed version of the original concept; as in, someone says "looks like somebody's got a case of the mondays ," and you say "deja vu, you said that last week."  So it's an event that is actually repeated, but I don't think this is deja vu in the original meaning of the word.  

  - The SECOND person reflects a delusional understanding of deja vu, but probably one that many people share.  

  - The THIRD one is the standard interpretation that wikipedia  would provide.

Just realized...

...that "I googled 'best man's speech' " as an opener to wedding speeches is this generation's "the dictionary defines wedding as...". I've seen it twice now

The Internet is the ultimate confirmation bias

I love how no matter what your opinion is, you can find someone online who shares it.  For example, http://tinyurl.com/cg22vw

At the new yankee stadium, where they sell sushi and tofu noodles. While it may be soul-less, I can't complain, they have incredibly comfy seats.

in jersey city with manhattan as the backdrop. There are two priests, and my cousin jay is imagining them as dueling sanskrit rappers

In vegas

And I've played tennis, hung out with family and am now off to a temple. Also, there's a beirut section in the casino of our hotel I've yet to play on. Am I old or boring?

Shamrock shakes...

Nothing better.
