Daylight Savings Time

I try to immerse myself in positive views, and occasionally succeed, but there is one thing that I really do not like: Daylight Savings Time. I know it must be helpful somehow and there's a reason why we still do it but I hate it. I spend the whole summer aware of it like a beanbag that needs stuffing, correcting every time I see back to the actual 'real' time. It's a constant niggle, stealing energy and concentration. I wish there were no Daylight Saving Time. And now the DST is over it's winter, so seasonal depression can take its place. Blast!

Moving on, it seems as if the world is spinning, spinning, spinning and words are randomly spinning out! It seems so easy to do the random word entry but it's hard really. It's an exercise in psychobabble, pretentious metaphor and the great cheese experiment which may not share its name.

Cavitation:
1 The sudden formation and collapse of low-pressure bubbles in liquids by means of mechanical forces, such as those resulting from rotation of a marine propeller.
2 The pitting of a solid surface.
3 (Medicine) The formation of cavities in a body tissue or an organ, especially those formed in the lung as a result of tuberculosis.

Cavitation in marine propulsion has been a very important effect, a distortion spread behind a moving submarine and boat which scrambles passive sonar which you can then use to your own advantage. In an analogous sense on a real world scale we see that we all cause cavitations by our passing. In many ways we are more attached to more distant memory than recent memory as the recent memory is obscured by emotional cavitation causing all kinds of distortion in our psyche. We bob up and down in the disturbance, unable to see in the bubbly area until it moves further behind and the bubbles settle. How much better it might be if we were uniformly connected to our memories, operating on a cavitation-free propulsion that leaves us cool and smooth at all times... Or how much duller! Our emotional cavitation allows us to operate and make decisions spontaneously and in isolation from the things that would render us predictable all the time. I need my cavitation; it makes me real!

Finally, the new Film Bin Commentary is up at filmbin.podbean.com and is on the indescribable kickboxing movie of the 1980's: 'No Retreat, No Surrender'. I advise you watch it at your own risk; It's BAD! Next time it will be 'Innerspace', a veritable would-be classic with Robert Picardo and his elastic face! Or did I imagine that?

Pinging down to sleep. Good luck, everyone, as it's Monday tomorrow!
