High brain volatility

Good morning kids, today I'm going to educate you about the concept of brain volatility.

Its actually pretty straight-forward. Like all concepts with bombastic words, brain volatility can be simplified by identifying what the roots of each of its words mean;

Brain, is the instrument that facilitates our faculty for thinking, the place where all our ideas, memories and commands are given for the rest of our body to carry out. It is also the least used section of our anatomy.

Volatility comes from the root word volatile, which simply means something that is unstable, or uncertain. Not fixed in one place, as it were.

So when you smash both words together, you have a brain that is highly unstable. I.e. cuckoo ^o^ hahahaha... *ahem* so yeah, brain volatility is basically just a measure of.. how mentally unstable one can be :)

While most of you might not have heard or read of the concept of brain volatility until today, (because I came up with it, seriously, do a google search and you'll find nothing[1] on 'brain volatility' except for this blogpost which is the top of the search! *o*) it is no new concept and has been around in popular culture for decades.

One of the best examples would be the saying that someone has 'some screws lose'. It is a very apt metaphor which likens a highly volatile brain to a contraption which has screws lose, hence being unstable and might fall apart at any time :|

Another good example comes from term used in computer science; volatile memory, which refers to the memory which only lasts as long as the power is on and goes missing once you turn the computer off :O

As computers are among the best analogies to human physio- and pshychological conditions, we also have things that can only be remembered if we put a lot of power, i.e. effort, into it. Like cramming for exams ^o^ dissapears right away after the paper is done~ volatile memory, folks.

The most common usage for the word volatile, however, is used in chemistry, and the first definition one finds on google is that a highly volatile object that becomes gas (vaporized) very easily nothing. Seriously, google?! You don't know what 'volatile' means?! *rolls eyes*...  Anyways, while easily becoming vaporized actually means that the molecular bonding of said object is highly unstable (lose), that's really boring :(

We can still liken it to brain volatility, though, by linking the ease of vaporizing to the popular saying of a person who is an airhead. Now all of the sudden such arbitiary phrases get cleared up and we get eureka-ed with the realization that "oh! airhead = high brain volatility! @o@"

This, my friends, is why I am a linguist :3

I can go on and on for days, as there are limitless analogies referring to the wonderful concept of brain volatility, such as train of thoughts that derail themselves without warning, chronic indecision and ADD, but I really gotta get back to rushing my deadlines ^^;

You see, I have a confession to make.

I have extremely high brain volatility T______T *sobs uncontrolably* my train of thought derails like its running on the beach during sunset, my blogposts are brimming with ideas but woefully unorganized and chaotic at best, and whenever I have to start concentrating my mind on doing work...

...I start getting the urge to blog o_o;

*rushes off to work* ;__;

[1] apparently, if you type [brain volatility] only my blog shows up, but if you put in the exact search option of ["brain volatility"] a lot more comes up... oh well ^^;; you can't win them all..
