through the worm hole

Before I left for Boston I recorded a show called "Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman". Now, if you were in my english class last year, you would know that I have broken like 5 different grammar rules with that sentence, but we're just going to ignore that and move on. Anyway, I just finally got around to- Shoot I just remember that I haven't written anything about going to Boston, eh oh well- watching it right now. Now, when I first recorded it, I actually thought it looked really cool, but I may have also recorded it because it was narrated by Morgan Freeman. I think his narration voice might be why he gets like 80% of his work in the first place. First, Madelyn and I (Cayla) watched this episode about whether or not this is a 6th sense. At the beginning we just discussed what a tragic loss it would be if Morgan Freeman died and how it would probably be bigger than Michael Jackson. But, it was actually really interesting! I don't know a thing about molecular physics or "quantum mechanics" which doesn't even sound like a real thing, but the stuff they were explaining sounded like it could really be true! They managed to bring all this high level theoretical thinking down to regular Cayla level, which is quite a feat within itself. Also, they talk about Einstein a lot, which reminds me how Tony Stark's dad is in Captain America. Whoops, hopefully you've seen it already. If not, it may or may not be a life or death situation that you see it. Okay, so it wasn't that good, but The Avengers isn't going to reach its intended awesomeness (psst it probably will anyway) if you don't see it. Also, Chris Evans is SMOKIN' hot (isn't that a reason within itself?). GO SEE IT.

Oh wait, back to the show. Later we watched another episode about Time. It was questioning if time existed or not. They posed lots of different theories that could explain if humans made up time and if not, how humans started to use time. I'm not going to go into super detail about all of, but there was theory that I liked a lot. This scientist said, that time didn't exist, but life itself was just a series of snapshots played out like a movie at whatever frames per second. That every moment in time never ceased to exist, even before or after we had already experienced it. So say, me watching that show, changing the channel to South Park after it's over, then laughing at Kenny being attacked by velociraptors at a snowed in hospital happened as single snapshots and are still happening within their own little snapshot. They don't go away after I have passed them. The reason I liked it was because all the good things that have happened to me in my life are still happening. I can look back and say, "I'm still being surprised when I got a scooter for Christmas," "I'm still riding The Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland for the first time" or "I'm still laughing hysterically with my friends at a restaurant in Berlin." All of these things are happening in their own little bit of "time." That's totally sweet, right? All the other scientists were like NO WAY and wouldn't let him join in on all their theoretical physics games. But, Morgan told me that they were all fighting about their own theories because they all want to be right. I thought maybe I would go to some super intense college and join in on the debate, but then I got a really bad headache and it hurt to move my head too fast, so I decided against it. But, in all, it's kind of a good though to think that all the happy moments in your life are still going on somewhere, and you are locked in that moment of being happy forever, even if you can't go back to it.

By the way, is velociraptors spelled right up there? I typed it into google and it came up, but the spell check on this thing keeps telling me it's wrong.

Cheers,
Cayla

#59

I have been putting this off. Part of the reason is I have been kind of exhausted for the past couple of days (especially after not sleeping for 25 hours), partly because I have been waiting for my friend to post one specific picture that she has yet to, but mostly because it is going to take a longgg time. But, I'm doing it now, I probably won't finish anytime soon, but it's worth a start.
So Lauren has spoiled my awesome surprise, but if you don't know DON'T SCROLL DOWN and read her last blog, just scroll down to our list and look at what 59 is.

I'll wait....


NUMBER 59: TRAVEL ACROSS EUROPE!!!!

WOOOO, I'm awesome. Okay, so obviously you could see it right away, but I thought I throw in that little bit of humor to brighten your day.
Originally I was going to write out a whole long thing about how I found out about the Europe trip etcc, but honestly, you don't care. And if you do, contact me and I will be sure to send you a nice long winded story about how it came to be. Of course it will most likely be as procrastinated as this blog post, so you might want to get on that.
Anyway, I have explained the pictures a billion times, so I will just post some and tell you where we are and maybe a funny story, because I don't feel the need to make this blog post forever long. ( I changed my mind, don't feel like typing anymore, make up your own stories, I'm sure they will be more interesting)
Here is a cool thing that I made showing you were I went, you can click on it to make it bigger.

Isn't it awesome? Go back and look at it a little while longer. I can just feel the envy radiating off of you right now. Switzerland was great, thanks for asking.
Anywho, I'll get to the actual pictures now.
London!






Paris!










Switzerland!


Liechenstein!



Austria!



Prague!






Berlin!



So there is it! The best trip of my life. Well, so far, I plan on traveling a whole lot more now! I went to Montreal with Lauren when I went to Boston, but that is another post! The best thing about this whole trip is that I met the best people ever and got to know them on a level that you can only get when traveling with someone in close quarters for a whole week!




Why must all good things come to an end?
Cheers,
Cayla
First Pilsen and now this?
p.s. sorry it took me forever to post this, I am so lazy
