The science of kissing

There's a feeling people get from a good kiss that's just hard and just hard to explain.

Women compare it to "melting butter" and being "hit by a wave," according to a recently conducted online survey. Men describe it as similar to "vibrations at a concert" or a "three pointer at the buzzer to win the NCAA basketball tournament," according to the same survey, sponsored by SMINT Powermints in conjunction with the release of the Drew Barrymore movie Never Been Kissed.

On the surface, the SMINT sponsored survey appears to be more of a cheesy product promotion than a strict scientific survey. Let's face it, how can anyone compare a good kiss to a buzzer beater to win the NCAA championship when there is probably nothing that compares to hitting the game-winning shot? And for the guy that does that, there would probably be a lot more than just kissing going on after the game.

That's where the science of kissing comes in.

Experts believe there is a whole lot of physiology behind the warm and fuzzy feelings that accompany a good kiss. It's all about dopamine, neurotransmitters, pleasure receptors and the like.

Feelings of passionate love, often but not always a contributing factor to a really good kiss, are believed to stimulate the same type of brain activity as parachuting, bungee jumping, distance running or other sports activities, says Marta Miana, a UNLV psychology professor specializing in sexuality and health psychology.

In a nutshell, these types of activities cause the brain to experience a surge in norepinephrine, dopamine and phenylethylamine (or just PEA to some), Dr. Miana explains. These neurotransmitters attach to the so-called pleasure receptors in the brain to create feelings of euphoria, giddiness, elation and the like. Components in amphetamine drugs are similar to these same neurotransmitters, which is why these drugs create similar feelings, according to modern science.

Any of these activities can be addictive, because the pleasure receptors crave a certain level of the different neurotransmitters. For a variety of reasons believed both genetic and environmental, some people are more susceptible than others to certain types of addictions--drugs, alcohol, skiing, shopping and maybe even sex--based on the type of neurotransmitters the activities produce and the brain craves.

So you're a guy. You feel the firm touch of your girlfriend's full, soft lips pressed tightly upon your own. Maybe there's even a little tongue involved. You're feeling pretty good. And you want more.

I write sins not tragedies

Artist: Panic! At The Disco

Album: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out

Song: I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,

and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words. "What a beautiful wedding!, What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to the

waiter.

"Ah yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of hope.

Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved Well this calls for, a toast so, pour the champagne

Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved

Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne.

I'd jump in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Again..

I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!" No. It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality. I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

The Great Escape

Boys like Girls

"The Great Escape"

Paper bags and plastic hearts

All are belongings in shopping carts

It's goodbye

But we got one more night

Let's get drunk and ride around

And make peace with an empty town

We can make it right

Throw it away

Forget yesterday

We'll make the great escape

We won't hear a word they say

They don't know us anyway

Watch it burn

Let it die

Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives

It's so good to be by your side

But we'll cry

We won't give up the fight

We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs

And they'll think it's just cause we're young

And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away

Forget yesterday

We'll make the great escape

We won't hear a word they say

They don't know us anyway

Watch it burn

Let it die

Cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time

The hours that were left behind

The answers that we'll never find

They don't mean a thing tonight

Throw it away

Forget yesterday

We'll make the great escape

We won't hear a word they say

They don't know us anyway

Throw it away

Forget yesterday

We'll make the great escape

We won't hear a word they say

They don't know us anyway

Throw it away

Forget yesterday

We'll make the great escape

We won't hear a word they say

They don't know us anyway

Watch it burn

Let it die

Cause we are finally free tonight

The pieces don't fit anymore

James Morrison

The pieces dont fit anymore

I've been twisting and turning in a space that's too small

I've been drawing the line and watching it fall

You've been closing me in , closing the space in my heart

Watching us fading and watching us fall apart

Well I can't explain why it's not enough

Coz I gave it all to you

And if you leave me now

Oh just leave me now

It's the better thing to do

It's time to surrender

It's been too long pretending

There's no use in trying

When the pieces don't fit anymore

Oh, don't misunderstand how I feel

Coz I've tried, yes I've tried

Still I don't know why

No I don't know why

Why I can't explain why it's not enough

Coz I gave it all to you

And if you leave me now

Oh just leave me now

It's the better thing to do

It's time to surrender

It's been too long pretending

There's no use in trying

When the pieces don't fit anymore

The pieces don't fit anymore

You pulled me under so I had to give in

Such a beautiful mess that's breaking my skin

Well I'll hide all the bruises;

I'll hide all the damage that's done

But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone

Well I can't explain why it's not enough

Coz I gave it all to you

And if you leave me now

Oh just leave me now

It's the better thing to do

It's time to surrender

It's been too long pretending

There's no use in trying

When the pieces don't fit anymore

The pieces don't fit anymore

Irreplaceable

Beyonce

Irreplaceable

"Irreplaceable"

To the left

Mmmm to the left, to the left

Everything you own in the box to the left

In the closet, that's my stuff

Yes, if I bought it, baby, please don't touch (don't touch)

And keep talking that mess, thats fine

Could you walk and talk, at the same time?

And it's my name thats on that jag

So go move your bags, let me call you a cab

Standing in the front yard, telling me

How I'm such a fool, talking 'bout

How I'll never ever find a man like you

You got me twisted

You must not know 'bout me

I could have another you in a minute

Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute (baby)

You must not know 'bout me

I can have another you by tomorrow

So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'

You're irreplaceable?

So go ahead and get gone

Call up that chick, and see if shes home

Oops I bet you thought, that I didn't know

What did you thinkI was putting you out for?

Because you was untrue

Rolling her around in the car that I bought you

Baby, drop them keys

Hurry up, before your taxi leaves

Standing in the front yard, telling me

How I'm such a fool, talking 'bout

How I'll never ever find a man like you

You got me twisted

You must not know 'bout me

I could have another you in a minute

Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute (baby)

You must not know 'bout me

I can have another you by tomorrow

So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'

You're irreplaceable (irreplaceable)?

So since I'm not your everything (irreplaceable)

How about I'll be nothing (nothing)?

Nothing at all to you (nothing, nothing)

Baby I won't shed a tear for you (I won't shed a tear for you)

I won't lose a wink of sleep (a wink of sleep)'

Cause the truth of the matter is (truth is)

Replacing you is so easy

To the left, to the left.

Mmmmm

To the left, to the left.

Everything you own in the box to the left

To the left, to the left.

Don't you ever for a second get to thinking

You're irreplaceable?

You must not know 'bout me

I can have another you in a minute

Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute (baby)

You must not know 'bout me

I can have another you by tomorrow

So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'?

You must not know 'bout me (baby)

You must not know 'bout me

I could have another you in a minute

Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute

You can pack all your bags we're finished (you must not know 'bout me)'

Cause you made your bed now lay in it (you must not know 'bout me)

I could have another you by tomorrow

Don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'

You're irreplaceable?

Kelly Clarkson - Miss independent

Kelly Clarkson

Miss Independent

Miss independent

Miss self-suficient

Miss keep your distance

Miss unafraid

Miss out of my way

Miss don't let a man interfere, no

Miss on her own

Miss almost grown

Miss never let a man help her off her throne

So, by keeping her heart protected

She'd never ever feel rejected

Little miss apprehensive

Said ooh, she fell in love

What is this feelin' takin' over?

Thinkin' no one could open her door

Surprise...

It's time

To feel what's real

What happened to Miss Independent?

No longer need to be defensive

Goodbye, old you

When love is true

Misguided heart

Miss play it smart

Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no

But she miscalculated

She didn't want to end up jaded

And this miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing her misconceptions

She went in a new direction

And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love.

What is this feelin' takin' over?

Tinkin' no one could open her door(open this door)

Surprise...It's time(yeah)

To feel whats' real

What happened to Miss Independent?

No longer need to be defensive

Goodbye(goodbye), old you(oh you)

When love, when love is true

When Miss Independent walked away

No time for love thats came her way

She looked in the mirror and thought today

What happened to miss no longer afraid?

It took some time for her to see

How beautiful love could truly be

No more talk of why can't that be me

Im so glad i finally see....

What is this feelin' takin' over?

Thinkin' no one could open her door

Surprise(surprise), it's time(yeah)

To feel(to feel) what's real

What happened to Miss Independent?

No longer need to be defensice

Goodbye(goodbye), old you

When love, When love is true

Miss Independent....

Better than me

Hinder

Better than me

I think you can do much better than me

After all the lies that I made you believe

Guilt kicks in and I start to see

The edge of the bed

Where your nightgown used to be

I told myself I won't miss you

But I remember

What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my faceA

nd the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes

I found those pictures I took

That you were looking for

If there's one memory I don't want to lose

That time at the mall

You and me in the dressing room

I told myself I won't miss you

But I remember

What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder

Wish I never would've said it's over

And I can't pretend...

I won't think about you when I'm older

Cause we never really had our closure

This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

(And I think you should know this)

(You deserve much better than me)

All Good things (come to an end)

Nelly Furtado
All Good Things (Come To An End)

Dogs were whistling a new tune

Barking at the new moon

Hoping it would come soon so that they could die

Honestly what will become of me

I don't like reality

It's way too clear to me

But really life is daily

We are what we don't see

We missed everything daydreaming

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end

Travelling I always stop at exits

Wondering if I'll stay

Young and restless

Living this way I stress less

I want to pull away when the dream dies

The pain sets it and I don't cry

I only feel gravity and I wonder why

And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day until the feeling went away

And the clouds were dropping and the...

The rain forgot how to bring salvation

The dogs were whistling a new tune barking at the new moon

Hoping it would come soon so that they could die

All the good things

He was in the 1st third grade i taught at Saint Mary's School in Morris, Minn. All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million. Very neatin appearance, but had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occassional mischievousness delightful.

Mark talked incessantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable. What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time i had to correct him for misbehaving. "Thank you for correctinh me, Sister!" I didn't know what to make of it at first, but before long i become accustomed to hearing it many times a day.

One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then i made a novice-teacher's mistake. I looked at him and said, "If you say one more word, i am going to tape your mouth shut!"

it wasnt 10 secs later when Chuck blurted out, "Mark is talking again." I hadn't asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since i had state the punishment in front of the class, i had to act on it.

I remember the scene as if it had occured this morning, I walked to my dek, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of masking tape. Without saying a word, i proceeded to Mark's desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth. I then returned to the front of the room. As i glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me. That did it! I started laughing. The class cheered as i walked back to Mark's desk, removing thr tape and shrugged my shoulders. His first words were, "Thank you for correcting me, Sister."

At the end of the year i was asked to teach junior-high math. The years flew by, and before i knew it Mark was in my classroom again. He was more handsome than ever and just as polite. Since he had to listen carefully to my instructions in the "new math", he did not talk as much in ninth grade as he had in the third.

One firday, things just didn't feel right. We had worked hard on a new concept all week, and i sensed that the students were frowning, frustrated with themselves - edgy with one another. I had to stop this crankiness before it got out of hand. So i asked them to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then i told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmate and write it down.

It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the papers. Charlie smiled. Mark said, "Thank you fir teaching me, Sister. Have a good weekend."

That Saturadat, i wrote doen the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and i listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday i gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" I heard whispers. "i never knew that meant anything to anyone!" "I didn't know others liked me so much!"

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. I never knew if they discussed from after class or with their parents, but it didnt matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another again.

That group of students moved on. Several years later, after i returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport, As we were driving home, Mother asked me the usual questions about the trip. the weather, and my experience in general. There was a light lull in the conversation. Mother gave Dad a side-ways glance and simply says, "Dad?" My father cleared his throat as he usually did before something important. "The Eklunds called last night," he began. "Really?" I said. "I havent heard from them in years. I wonder how Mark is."

Dad responded quitely. "Mark was killed in Vietnam," he said. "The funeral is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend."

I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before, Mark looked so handsome, so mature, All i could think at that moment was, Mark, i would give all the masking tape in the world if onlu you would talk to me,

The church was packed with Mark's friends. The pastor said his usual prayers, and the bugler played taps. One by one those who loved Mark took a last walk by the coffin and sprinkled holy water.

I was the last one to bless rhe coffin. As i stood there, one of the soldiers who had acted as pallbearer came up to see me. "Were you Mark's math teacher? " he asked. I nodded as i continued to stare at the coffin. "Mark talked about you alot," he said

After the funeral. most of Mark's former classmates headed to Chucks farmhouse for lunch. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting for me. "We want to show you something," his father said, taking a walletout of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refoled many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which i had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates he said about him. "Thank you so much for doing that." Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."

Mark's classmates started to gather around us. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "i still haver my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home." Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put this in our wedding album." "I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary." Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I c arry this with me at all times," Vicki said without batting an eyelash. "i think we all saved our lists."

That's when i finally sat down and cried. I cired for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

The purpose of this story is to encourage everyone to compliment the people you love and care about. We often tend to forget the importance of showing our affections and love. Sometimes the smallest of things, could mean the most to another.
