While I knew full well that a battery possesses two opposing forces, a positive end (+) and a negative one (-), I did not however, entirely understand how the opposite ends serve to charge the entire body and produce energy. It is quite interesting... if you've had at least two cups of coffee before reading.
The article was extremely informative; going on to explain that there are in fact, three sides to a battery. The obvious (+) and (-) sides make up the two opposite ends of the battery of course, while the the third side is actually the middle. I won't begin to articulate the painstaking process of how a battery works. You're welcome...
If you ever do want to find out for yourself, I trust that there are far more informative articles online than the one I am writing here. However, the gist of it actually serves to make a point that I would like to expound upon that promises to be a tad more entertaining than a Science Guy's explanation...
Basically, a battery is powered by the positive and negative thing-a-ma-jiggers that interact within the cell and are trapped in the middle. That's about as scientific as I can get at 9:30 a.m., pre second cup of coffee.
What got me on this unusual subject you ask?? Well, it has a little something to do with the past two weeks. You see, yesterday I was informed that my perspective in life as shared in my blog, appears to have taken a somewhat negative turn as of late. While undoubtedly entertaining, the last week of blog posts have most certainly observed the world around me through less than rosy colored glasses.
So... what gives? My dad seemed to find the shift of perspective rather amusing; suggesting that I become more and more like him every day. Hmmmm...
I thought about that statement all day yesterday. Was he right?
While my dad is not exactly Darth Vader, and I sure as hell don't resemble Luke Skywalker, it would seem that I have in fact turned to the dark side. Que the music: dum dum dum dum da daaa dum dum, doot doot do doo doot too doodle doot... If you aren't familiar with that haunting score than you are forbidden from reading any further and are instructed to go watch Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back immediately.
Okay, the truth is, I may have had an unhealthy dose of (-) charges overloading my circuit these days. But in all fairness, I was not blind to that phenomenon. I could sense it too. And that is when I decided that it was time to put in my two weeks notice and take a break from life behind the bar. My default mode is rather positive. Honestly!
Look back to the posts in early July and you will read super charged (+) positivity. Life Un-Stuck is a great example of my lightened up, enlightened point of view.
I definitely do not want to turn to the dark side. And I would argue that a battery needs both opposing forces (+) and (-) to produce a charge within.
I believe that my positivity is simply re-charging as a result of the (-) negative ions floating around me on a regular basis. The opposing forces of positive and negative perspectives actually serve each other in the long run.
This battery of mine is simply regenerating power, thank you very much!
Do not fear. I am certain that life with continue to shift between these two opposing forces for the rest of my days. I am also certain that I will do my best to hopefully stay charged within my third side: the middle ground.
Until then, just enjoy the ride. If not super (+) positive, it will be at the very least,
(-) entertaining!
Enjoy this Labor Day weekend and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!!!

That drink needs to include light saber stir sticks. I believe ThinkGeek probably carries them.
ReplyDeleteOf late, your writing has had more of a tense air than negative IMHO. Thoughtful and critical, I think. And not much in a bad way. A good Jedi needs to be pensive sometimes.
