brain damage: wake me when it is over ...

wake me when it is over ...

If you are plugged into social media in any way you must be aware that the amazing astronomical phenomenon known as the "SUPERMOON" occurs this weekend.

Really?

(I had to do extensive cropping just to get this image to fit this page)

Come to find out there are 3 "SUPERMOONS" in 2014.

Doesn't the fact that a full 25% of the full moons this year are of the "SUPERMOON" ilk diminish its "phemomenonity"?

I mean ... even the "Super Bowl" only occurs annually.

We are such an easily excitable lot ...

"A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth."

brain damage (disambiguation)

Brain damage is the destruction or degeneration of brain cells.

Brain damage may also refer to:

"Brain Damage" (song), from Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
- Roger Waters
