Techinical issue

This post addresses some technical issues. So, Techorati here is the claim token: 7QUDDK33DMT5.

Somewhere

If someone would ask me what a rainbow is, as a physicist, I would answer that it is nothing more than light refracting on water. Physically the rainbow has no beginning and no end... you could say it only exists in a moment (when the right conditions are met). Then you hear a song Somewhere over the rainbow. Rainbow symbolizes a good moment in your life - grab and hold on to them! Rainbow also symbolizes a promise.
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops, high above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Big news

My best friend J. texted me that his wife A. just gave birth to a healthy boy. Congratulations to both of them and my God bless their newborn child! They are both 25 and already married for 2 years. What is my general outlook on this? To be honest, there is a part of me that envies J. because he is already at this point in his life, where there are more 'knowns' than unknowns. I mean who wouldn't want a certain stability in their life? Sure, there are still surprises before him and first months with a toddler are going to be anything but stable, but in the big picture he already made most of the important choices and is at peace with his decisions. I am one year younger than him and will never have what he has at his age. On the other hand, I have more options than he does. For example, I can leave Poland and pursue scientific carrier abroad. I don't need to divide my time between so many things, I have less responsibilities, I can stay late nights, go for a beer whenever I want, don't need to save the money for family vacations and spend them on something else. Both situations have pros and cons, they both can make a man/woman happy. There is one more thing, common for J. and me, although we are on different paths. We consult our decisions with JCh and fulfill His will in our lives. It won't guarantee that happiness will magically come knocking at your door (although it might and JCh can surprise you in ways you couldn't imagine), but helps to keep your eyes on the prize.

Foretaste of things to come and personal detour

There is another reason behind this blog. More often than not, I have the tendency to think too much, analyze past situations, predict wildest, future scenarios. Using physical metaphor, I'm like an electron that has been excited to a higher state. But this state is not stable (actually it is meta-stable, which means it can easily be knocked out of it) and the electron recombines (comes back) to ground state (much more stable) releasing the excess energy (in a form of photon - not important for this metaphor). The same concerns me, when I think too much I'm "excited to a meta-stable state" and have this irresistible urge to "recombine" back to the "ground state". And this blog is where the excess energy goes (making the recombination possible), where it finds its outlet, where I blow off my steam.
I also have a need to explain a lot of things, not because people mistakenly presume I think they don't understand, but due to the fact that I simply like explaining things. Right now, I need to explain the template. This is tightly connected to the second part of the headline. The template is red, because certain someone goes through the phase of liking this color.

Basic info

Here is some fundamental staff you should know about me. First of all, I'm a born anew christian. I would like this to be the first thing to define me as a person. The next piece of information is an order of magnitude lower in importance, but still crucial. I have a Master of Physics diploma and currently pursuing my PhD. I don't mean to brag, I just think it will help you understand me better. Sports also play a role in my life, mostly snowboard, swimming and basketball (although I'm not tall). Last but definitely not least, I am very passionate about U2 music. More information will reveal itself naturally in the next posts. Bye!

First one out

Welcome to my blog! The first question is: "why it is in English, when I'm Polish?" And the answer to that question is: "Because, in this way, it's a challenge and it will help me improve my writing skills and develop the habit of thinking in other than native language". So please, bare with me, although I'll make a lot of mistakes (mostly in punctuation - feel free to correct me in the comments). The second question is: "why this blog is called <<General outlook>>?". This time the answer is simpler: "Because I'll try to present you what my thoughts are on: the things that can happen in life, things that we need to deal with, some events,... and why you should read this or watch that (you know - to make this blog not so serious)". I feel like I have written enough for know. Until next time!
