Learn something new each day

Reactive Attachment Disorder is characterized by the breakdown of social ability of a child. It is associated with the failure of the child to bond with a caretaker in infancy or early childhood. This can be caused by many factors, ranging from child neglect to the child being hospitalized for severe medical problems. The children may display either indiscriminate social extroversion as they grow older (treating all people as if they were their best friend) or showing mistrust of nearly everyone.

Yesterday, I found out that I’m still naive.
I’ll work a way to somehow become a wiser and cautious individual.

I’ve decided to learn something new every day… I’ve always been the guy who was just full of useless knowledge, or at least that’s how I felt about it… I was never that good at remembering State capitals or even the States for that mater… I’m from Texas and that explains a lot Miss Megan says… she can recite them Alphabetically… well the other day some one said I as a well of trivial knowledge and it struck me… Trivial… like those guys that win millions of dollars on TV… not that that’s my reason behind my new goal… just that once I thought all this stuff that gets caught in my head was useless… now its trivial and I want more… I’m starting with military History and have actually learned allot… its funny how my brain works… When I was a kid I could study for hours trying to memorize something and nothing… yet I still know the number to America’s most wanted (1-800-876-5353) and I’ve seen Finding Nemo once and I remember the Address of the dentist’s office (P.Sherman 82 Wallaby Way Sydney) who knows why I remember these things… Maybe I’m just easily brainwashed… anyhoo that’s the reason for my new goal of learning something new ach and everyday…

Balls to the wall
Example: If you study balls to the wall from now on, you just might pass your algebra class.
Origin: A very colorful phrase, one needs to be careful when using “balls to the wall”. Although its real origin is very benign, most people assume it is a reference to testicles.
In fact it is from fighter planes. The “balls” are knobs atop the plane’s throttle control. Pushing the throttle all the way forward, to the wall of the cockpit, is to apply full throttle.

Meaning: To push to the limit, go all out, full speed.

Alternatively,

Early railroad locomotives were powered by steam engines. Those engines typically had a mechanical governor. These governors consisted of two weighted steel balls mounted at the ends of two arms, jointed and attached to the end of a vertical shaft that was connected to the interior of the engine. The entire assembly is encased in a housing.

The shafts and the weighted balls rotate at a rate driven by the engine speed. As engine speed increases, the assembly rotates at a faster speed and centrifugal force causes the weighted balls to hinge upward on the arms.

At maximum engine speed – controlled by these governors – centrifugal force causes the two weighted balls to rotate with their connecting shafts parallel to the ground and thereby nearly touching the sides – the walls – of their metal housing.

So, an engineer driving his steam locomotive at full throttle was going “balls to the wall”. The expression came to be used commonly to describe something going full speed.

-When undecided as to the best course of action… take a nap.

-Show my happiness when the person I love comes home.

-Take time to stop and have a long look at the world outside my window.

Maine is the only state whose name is just one syllable.

Almost everyone who reads my last entry to this goal will try to lick their elbow.

It’s physically impossible for you to lick your elbow.

I can’t, anyway.
