An Idea Beyond Ideas

So the other day I was listening to a song and within the first second of the song I paused it. Why? Did I hate the song? No. In fact it's one of my favorite songs. So why did I stop it then? I just couldn't listen to it, it brought back to many good memories! Within the first second of the song a multitude of memories flooded my brain. So it got me thinking. "Man I want to relive those memories!" So I had a great idea (and I'd pay good money for it too). My idea went like this:
What if we had this Oculus Rift-like screen. So like a ski goggle type mask but with screens, one over both eyes. Like this:
Oculus Rift
Then you would get a cord that connected to your brain somehow (I'm working on that part.) And then the cord would decipher your memories and it could stream through your memories. Then you'd pick a memory to watch, say your trip to Colorado or that math class you took in 7th grade. And you'd re-watch it through your perspective and how it actually happened. You also would plug in earbuds to a jack and then you could hear everything too. Wouldn't that be awesome! I literally would cut out a week and relive an entire trip that'd be so cool. So scientists, if you're reading this, go make this! I'd love this invention.

What Did Ya Say?

Sometimes I'm the one who says weird stuff. I'll say like Bip Lalm instead of Lip Balm. It's really weird. Well one day I decided to look it up. Apparently it's a common phenomenon called, a Spoonerism. Another example could be Billy Soy instead of silly boy. Weird right? I have said some weird stuff because of it. After I say it, I usually laugh really hard and then get really confused.
