Haha true enough! Thanks guys. I totally get it. Like I said, its been a while since I took a physics course!

Thanks for the help everyone! So from reading everyone's comments, I'm thinking that it works like this: No matter how close you get to the left of the point in time where the velocity becomes 0, the velocity vector points up. Then at this point, the direction changes to indefinite. Then...
