Stargazer

Why does looking straight up at the stars make me dizzy? If I look at an angle, its not really that much of a problem, but tilt my head back just enough and WHAMO. Dizzy. Maybe WHAMO isn't really a "dizzy" sound...how about something like ZOOM or WIZZ? Those don't sound quite right either. I guess just use your imagination for what it sounds like in your head when you get dizzy. That's not the important part of the story anyway. Who really cares what the correct sound for "dizzy" is? So, an alternative to tilting your head back is to actually lie down in the grass and stare straight up, but then guess what happens. Chiggers. Ants. Grass Stains. Dirt. All sorts of unpleasantness. Thats why I usually choose to stare straight up, while I am standing. When I get dizzy (forget about the sound already) and feel like I am about to fall over (remember all the bad stuff that happens once you hit the ground...?) I just bring my head back to the normal position very slowly. I can probably repeat this stare-straight-up-and-return-to-normal process about 100 times before I get dizzy anyway, or just fall asleep. Thats why I want to learn as much about Ergoastronomics as possible. Then I can be a real, honest-to-goodness Stargazer.
