Okay here's my thoughts on the logic.
Monday--
You understand I've utilized poetic license for a great deal of this, and the explanation of the logic is left to you, for now!

After a couple of reviews, I will be including my own thoughts behind the logic.
Thanks so much for reading and for offering your continued support, for this I'm truly grateful!

Bip-onym (Bipolar Acronym)

By Badger_29

Author Note:"When you are mad, mad like this, you don't know it. Reality is what you see. When what you see shifts, departing from anyone else's reality, it's still reality to you" Marya Hornbachers


B Being born broken 

 inducing indecisive insanity

P Pursuing perplexed planning

Outdated, obtuse, obsessive

A About an absolutely

Really rearranged reality

Author Notes Thanks to Google and
ToBeReal, a bipolar site, for the image.

As I was writing this, I decided that it needed two words for each one because of the bipolar. But then, looking at the picture I chose, I decided it had to be three, because there's both ends of the spectrum, and the middle.
The manic one would say "the cup is half full", the depressed would say
"the cup is half empty", but the middle one, being neutral, would say the cup is at the midway point.
So there is no happy medium, but there is a middle perspective.

Blessings and Balance.

Blessings Balance Bounty

Brother Badger Cull

01/29/2020 1620 (4:20)

I added some words and in order to balance it out, I had to center it.
Then I started breaking up the words at the end but they broke down further, much like our enthusiastic tendrils of hope for the prospect of a brand new year.
I would like to personally thank everybody for their continued support here even can't afford to promote.
I think that the other acrostics are going to start undergoing metamorphosis themselves.
In my ideal world, each would have three; but like a Persion flaw, my sphere, or "karass" may not be ideal, but it is a great deal.

karass-term coined by sf author Curt Vonnegut Jr. in his book, Cat's Cradle. It represents your circle of acquaintances, movement, and mental connections ie.
while her son suffers a motorcycle collision, a mother gets a "gut" feeling, or premonition.

Calvin Origin and Meaning
Gender: Male Meaning of Calvin: "bald, hairless"
Calvin Origin and Meaning

The name Calvin is a boy's name of Latin origin meaning "bald, hairless".

Calvin is a slightly quirky but cozy name that has a fashion edge thanks to Calvin Klein. It has been steadily on the popularity list since records were kept, never lower than Number 250, peaking in the 1920s, the era of the Calvin (originally John Calvin ) Coolidge presidency.

The name came into use as a first name in honor of John Calvin--born Jehan Cauvin-- the seventeenth century French Protestant reformer whose strict doctrines became the basis of Calvinism, and the name was taken up as a tribute to him.

Other associations include the above-mentioned Calvin Klein (and his famous 'Calvins' ads), humorous writer Calvin Trillin, the comic strip "Calvin & Hobbes" --and it's also the birth name of Snoop Dog. Calvin O'Keefe is one of the main characters in Madeleine L'Engle's
A Wrinkle in Time.

Try to stay cheerful, however there are times when you're feeling down is appropriate. Ecclesiastes
3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Sometimes when I get depressed I embrace it and it washes my mind.

Summer River Fun

By Badger_29

Author Note:"Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away"

Some sunny Summer Sunday
Under unusually uncanny UV Ray's
Met my match
Made me more meaningful, mentally
Everyone eventually enlisted
Really righteously rigorous river reform

Rambunctious rambling river
Innertubes intwined inside
Veritable veins
Enjoyable entertaining envoy
Relaxing, refreshing reminder

For
Us
Now!

Author Notes Oh the refreshing river! Recalling halcyon days of youth when the morning and afternoon stretched out endlessly and we had rafts for ourselves and our refreshments.
Take time to pause and reflect and enjoy the summer and stretches out before us!

The quote is by
Marcus Aurelius, who also said,
"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to LOVE.
And,
"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature"

Recovery

By Badger_29

Rigorous ratifying, realistic
Evolution;
Centered concentric concentration
Of onsetting
Victory/Valor

Reintegrating
Your yin/yang

Author Notes Thanks for reading.
What I meant by finding your yin/yang I meant achieving a balance. And it's not just a balance with nature, yourself, your polychromatic set of emotions,and your spirituality -it's a balance for everything and that's where this idea of Zen Buddhism come to the play.
Although I believe strongly in spirituality, I do not adhere to any one with set of groups or rules I like to be open-minded.
I wrote a poem in my first book that extrapolated on the nuances of opposites,
and the task and importance of balance thereof.
Also, I found a clever use of the letter y.
I talked about how there are all these opposites and we have to strike a balance between the two.
I love the wisdom of Confucius and this Chinese proverb, which to me means that, sure you can plant a tree 20 years ago but if you still want to plan a tree, the second best time is now. Now is the acceptable time for change, if you do you're not too late!

May you to achieve your balance~

(Making this a misnomer, as it's no longer a secret!)

Author Notes I would like to thank Earthlover for a great review, and the idea to change the size for the first letters.
This was inspired by an author here named webfoot, who penned a very clever poem about covid-19. The gist of it is that it doesn't necessarily have to be evil, it can be a blessing also. This blessing for me has been abundance, and having started with a 10 x 10 square in front of my house del Paso heights Sacramento, EDD gave me enough money to landscape the whole front section which is 10 by 24, and enough now to publish my next book.
Also, we've been eating good in the neighborhood!
And on a side note, with obsessive compulsive disorder, and the seven letters of garden, I had to balance it by being alliterative with the "R"

Thanks to those of you who caught my misspelling on Nirvana, which is almost unthinkable considering I'm a Frank Zappa fan. On His album, Apostrophe,
The mystery man came over and he said I'm out of sight!
He said for a nominal service fee we can reach Nirvana tonight. I was ready willing and able to pay him his usual fee, he said he would drop off the rest of his affairs and devote his attention to me. but I said look here brother who you jivin' with that cosmic debris? (Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?). I said you can make more money as a butcher, so don't you waste your time on me"

nirvana-noun(in Buddhism) a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism.
Similar:paradise, heaven, Eden, the promised land, bliss, blessedness, ecstasy,
joy, peace, serenity, tranquility, enlightenment,
oblivion
another term for moksha.
a state of perfect happiness; an ideal or idyllic place. plural noun: nirvanas

May you too find abundance.

Writing

By Badger_29

Author Note:"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live" Henry David Thoreau

Wielding worthy words
Revealing representative reality
Idealized individual interpretation
Twining thrifty thoughts
Inside inescapable insight
Networking new notions
Gracefully going global

Author Notes Here's my explanation of each part:

W A writer is like a soldier who uses words, and we wield them like a sword. And if we're good, those words will be worthy.

R where the words go they create a reality of their own that is representative of the reality that we are sharing,

I our own individual interpretation which we have idealized in our mind.

T twining means weaving together, and if we're utilizing conservation of space, time and energy, they should be thrifty.

I These come from inside our own insight which I perceive to be inescapable.

N These notions maybe previously mentioned, but in writing, we are putting them together in a New order, which is networked into the mind of the reader.

G going global in that everybody can read our words if we're published or if we write online and it may not always be graceful but my attempt is.

Keep righting!

"Opposite Forces"

The original title included the word namaste, but I found out with some research that it was not quite appropriate so I changed the title to
Auld Lang Syne/HNY 2021

auld lang syne-noun
times long past.

for auld lang syne, for old times' sake.
"how about a bock, for auld lang syne, before we start our argument?"
Origin
late 18th century: Scots(see auld, lang syne). The phrase was popularized as the title and refrain of a song by Robert Burns (1788).

Auld Lang Syne
Song by Dougie MacLean

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit
Sin days of auld lang syne
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin days of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp
And surely I'll be mine
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere
And gie's a hand o' thine
And we'll tak a right gude-willy waught
For auld lang syne

Author Notes Now many of you who have read my previous work know that I like to coin my own words. Here's my new word
AbundantBlessed,
and to prove it to you I made an acrostic out of it.
I'm getting ready to publish my second book.
With my father,'s encouragement, my mentor here told me that I'm going to be a motivational speaker too.
So stay tuned there's more writing to come!

Author Notes Another social experiment with y'all.
Here's another quote I found:

"From the chronology of our time perception we keep garnering fetching and enticing instants of our life story, still abounding in our mind. As they emerge like lucky sparkles of our unyielding awareness, we hold them dearly in the treasury of our remembrance. ("Just for a moment")
Erik Pevernagie

I didn't realize how many quotes Ernest Hemingway had written on writing, here's a doozy:

"It was in that room too that I learned not to think about anything that I was writing from the time I stopped writing until I started again the next day. That way my subconscious would be working on it and at the same time I would be listening to other people and noticing everything."

Ernest Hemingway, who is also the author of the quote that you read above~

Author Notes This is a social experiment to see how everyone will react to my mis-placed confusion. You see, I started writing but it wouldn't let me change the font so I just went with the flow-some are all caps, ,some caps and lowercase,
You figure it out~
Feel free to give your honest review.
I decided to look up quotes on "Longing", and stumbled across a doozy,
"My library is an archive of longings". Susan Sontag
As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980

Thanks for reading, and may You also be Abundantly Blessed~

Author Notes I realize I could have made this better but had to write on the spur of the moment because I'm undergoing confusion right now. You may not know this but I was delivered from death for the fourth time and I'm grateful and blessed to be following God's plan for my life.

Here is the rest of the quote:

"On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
Charles Babbage

Author Notes Monday Monday starts( The Mamas & the Papas)
Tuesday Afternoon (The Moody Blues off the Album "Days of Future Past", with the London Philharmonic Orchestra), Wednesday is always hump day; or Wednesday let me~
"Thursday's child has far to go", Friday, the last workday, the day on which fish is traditionally served for dinner,
Saturday or "Sabado" in Spanish, was the original Sabbath, and Everything emanates from and goes back to our immensely dense & fiery source of:
light, warmth, and Aurora Borealis on which the day of rest is named after; Sunday.

I would like to mention a very famous poem "Monday's Child"
of which there are many variations. Common modern versions include:

Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Origin:
This rhyme was first recorded in A. E. Bray's Traditions of Devonshire (Volume II, pp. 287�?�¢??288) in 1838 and was collected by James Orchard Halliwell in the mid-nineteenth century.
The tradition of fortune telling by days of birth is much older. Thomas Nashe recalled stories told to "yong folks" in Suffolk in the 1570s which included "tell[ing] what luck eurie one should have by the day of the weeke he was borne on". Nashe thus provides evidence for fortune telling rhymes of this type circulating in Suffolk in the 1570s.

There was considerable variation and debate about the exact attributes of each day and even over the days. Halliwell had 'Christmas Day' instead of the Sabbath. Despite modern versions in which "Wednesday's child is full of woe," an early incarnation of this rhyme appeared in a multi-part fictional story in a chapter appearing in Harper's Weekly on September 17, 1887, in which "Friday's child is full of woe", perhaps reflecting traditional superstitions associated with bad luck on Friday �?�¢?? as many Christians associated Friday with the Crucifixion. In addition to Wednesday's and Friday's children's role reversal, the fates of Thursday's and Saturday's children were also exchanged and Sunday's child is "happy and wise" instead of "blithe and good".

As I mentioned previously, after a couple of reviews I will be letting you know my own thoughts on thelogic behind these, but I'm going to prime it with:

Monday--
You understand I've utilized poetic license for a great deal of this, and the explanation of the logic is left to you, for now!
After a couple of reviews, I will be including my own thoughts behind the logic.
Thanks so much for reading and for offering your continued support, for this I'm truly grateful!

Entropy, definition:
(Source: wikipedia)
The '''entropy''' of an object is a measure of the amount of [[energy]] which is unavailable to do [[work (physics)|work]]. Entropy is also a measure of the number of possible arrangements the atoms in a system can have. In this sense, entropy is a measure of uncertainty or [[randomness]]. The higher the entropy of an object, the more uncertain we are about the states of the atoms making up that object because there are more states to decide from. A law of physics says that it takes work to make the entropy of an object or system smaller; without work, entropy can never become smaller you could say that everything slowly goes to disorder (higher entropy).

The word '''entropy''' came from the study of [[heat]] and [[energy]] in the period 1850 to 1900. Some very useful mathematical ideas about probability calculations emerged from the study of entropy. These ideas are now used in [[information theory]], [[statistical mechanics]], [[chemistry]] and other areas of study.

'''Entropy''' is simply a quantitative measure of what the [[second law of thermodynamics]] describes: the spreading of energy until it is evenly spread. The meaning of entropy is different in different fields. It can mean:

*[[Information entropy]], which is a measure of information communicated by systems that are affected by data [[noise]].
*[[Thermodynamic entropy]] is part of the science of [[heat energy]]. It is a measure of how organized or disorganized energy is in a system of atoms or molecules.

So if it's in the former, it's past, but the past is connected to the future in the spiral of the DNA molecule

As I sit and write this on
Wednesday, July 21st @ 1441 P.M.
(Which stands for post meridian),
I'm excited once again about the future! Things are going well on a seemingly predestined course, but The Good Lord has been blessing me abundantly~

As I was looking up quotes for this I came across some doozies, here's three of them:

The climb might be tough and challenging,but the view is worth it. There is a purpose for that pain; you just can't always see it right away. Victoria Arlen

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
Robert Byrne

If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless.
James E. Faust

Author Notes Thanks to Merble on FanArtReview.com for the wonderfully appropriate art, titled "Perspective".

As I resolve a brief midlife crisis, I begin to feel restless, like I am wasting too much time.

I find that perception, attitude, and enjoyment are all intrinsically linked together and proportional to one another, thereby affecting each individual attribute.

I yearn to be more productive.
I have already written my second book, it is tugging at my time to get printed.

As I wrestle with my demons, I am becoming more honed, sharpening my dulled senses, making me more positive than I have felt for some time now, I am actively seeking more
Enjoyment, as I have indicated in this acrostic.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my faithful reviewers, but mostly to
irishauthorme for always taking the time to Enjoy the very brief moments we spend together.
