Deja Vu - Another take?

I was chatting with someone earlier tonight. I was talking about something meaningless, a segue into insignificance. I watched another person's drink tip over through her un-remarkably grandiose gesticulating, and then I suddenly paused; I knew what was about to happen.

Usually, it's a trigger--someone says a specific thing, an object is moved, someone makes a mistake. After that moment, a clear revelation is accepted into your psyche. You suddenly become clairvoyant, you can see how the rest of the conversation will progress, or what the next two or three things destined to happen and how they will transpire.

So in a wild attempt to debunk that belief, you do everything you can to perform the opposite action, you avoid saying the one thing in your head that will concede to your sudden vision. After all, deja vu is only a strange thing in your head that can not only be avoided, but explained eventually by science.

Subsequently, your conversation begins to suck. It dies, if for no other reason than that it becomes suddenly uninteresting.

In summation, I propose that deja vu is not actually a moment of vision. Rather, it is actually a choice. When it happens, a future moment (whether artificially induced by time travel or naturally occurring in the brain) is made clear to your mind, and you are commanded to make a choice to follow the seen path or to intentionally deviate in order to create a life-changing (and possibly universally significant) decision.

This being said, I cannot wait to have a moment like this again. I will post my findings here.

Time Travel Phone Returns?

I decided yesterday (Friday, April 9th, 2010) to turn my phone off to save battery power. I was at work, and I wasn't going to need it to be active anyway.

Five seconds after I powered it down, I placed it in my pocket and began to feel it vibrating a few short seconds later. Taking it out, I saw that it was on again. I thought perhaps I had not quite succeeded at turning it off. I tried turning it off again, this time watching it to see if it was my imagination.

After a few more seconds, it powered itself back on. I blinked a few times and tried to repeat the routine. Same result.

I showed it to a couple coworkers, and they made fun of me. They told me I just didn't know how phones worked, and that all of them do that. I told them it's never done that to me before, and that they should all shut the hell up.

Was it that my phone was trying to indicate something about this particular moment? At about 5:30 PM, was something significant happening in relation to the LHC or Timken Aerospace? After my first phone flaked out, I considered that these bizarre occurrences were isolated to that particular device (I didn't worry about it anymore when the phone ceased to work). After my next phone displayed the name of "SHERMAN," the particular friend of mine who helped me inside of its network directory, I knew some of this stuff could be transcending the constraints of local electronic devices. Now, my new phone is acting up against any probable explanation.

This isn't over.
