enviro-panetheism

The religion of the Na'vi in Avatar. The religious concept that God is in the nature of all things, that one can become one with whatever is in the natural enviroment, but still retain identity.

When I first saw Avatar, everyone stood up and clapped at the end of the movie: the enviro-panetheism theme connected with everyone.

space-time

The space-time concept is the most difficult to explain or understand in the entirety of human knowledge. We perceive reality in terms of up and down, left and right, even jokes are made like: "He doesn't know up from down." For we view things in relativistic terms, and dualisms. Does up exist by itself? Does left exist by itself? Are they continuum's? Can an event exist as a non-event. Are space and time inseparable dualities? How many dimensions are there--one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then eleven. Black holes, white holes event horizon, helix, super galactic, sub-atomic, worldlines. string-like, super-strings, quarks, gluon's, tachyons, big-bang, big-bang plus 1 x 10 minus 18th second. An event in terms of x,y, and z with respect to a rotational helix with a velocity equal to c on the worldline so long as it occurs outside the event-horizon and stays within the worldline. That's why they messed up the Philadelphia experiment.

You are playing God when you mess with the space-time continuum.

econobabble

New self-coined word used to describe the self proclaimed wisdom of all the present day pseudo-economists. They have 100 bogus reasons for what just happened, and just as many for what didn't happen. Kind of like watching sports announcers, during a game, hamming up the leading team and acting like they knew what was going to happen all the time--when they didn't have a clue.

I get so tired of reading all the so-called "experts" on the economy, when in reality it is all just econobabble.

skate shoes

Skate shoes represent the latest evolution in footwear for youth. The first shoes to become a fad were Converse All-Stars or Chucks. Originally boys basketball shoes, they became street wear in the 50's. They re-emerged in the 60's and in each youth generation since. They became the first skateboard shoe, then Vans (old school) emerged in the late 60's. Nike became popular youth shoes in the 80's and dominated the youth culture until the advent of serious extreme sport skateboarding (new school). As skateboarding became mainstream and see as an extreme sport skate shoes have dominated youth footwear. Such names as DC, ES, DVS, Etnies, Osiris, Adio, Ipath, have competed heavily in style, grip, color scheme, and functionality. The youth cult embraces extreme sports and their leaders, as Shaun White, Tony Hawk, Ryan Sheckler, and others.

Dude, those are the coolest skate shoes I have ever seen, can I have 'em.
