That freak could have been me, or Liam, in HS.

Pot has the biggest effect. That is one of the reasons it is classified as a haluc. Maybe a slow drip of the stuff would cure the effect. I never found the psych benefits they list (other than making things “cooler, funnier, yummier”, but have known people who have. One friend found he focused better, and went from a bright C- student to off-the-charts.

Sean: “The space is pregnant with the mystery of what sits just below the structure of apparent reality.” Cool! Somewhere in that mystery is a place beyond time. I hope. Have a great weekend, man.

Mom: Yeah, those grand-kids of yours will keep you on your toes, that’s for sure! I’ll call you Sunday evening and you can tell me all about it.

Hey Son, now you know how Dad and I feel about time zooming by. Just remember to stop and smell the roses. I guess that Jimmy taught us that. It does seem to go by faster and faster as we age. And there’s no stopping time.

I hope that Mary Alice does come home for the weekend.

I’m watching the boys for the weekend, while Rich and Rhonda go to NYC. I’ll be at their house and Dad will be back and forth.

Yeah, it’s a pretty nice window. The window, along with the relatively generous hourly wage, is the big reason I’ve stuck with this particular temp job. And yeah, the percentage of life theory does make some sense. The perception of time can be highly variable though, even for old guys like us. I’ve been meditating a lot lately, and while I’m sitting there focusing on my breath, even ten minutes can seem like an hour, especially when I’m restless and don’t really feel like doing it. And of course various drugs (for those hippies and freaks who indulge in such things) can affect one’s perception of time in some pretty interesting ways (so I’ve been told, by this hippy freak I knew a long time ago).

Happy Friday, Bob.

For some reason, reading this made me more aware of the space between me and the stuff in the office. The space is pregnant with the mystery of what sits just below the structure of apparent reality.

Starbucks? SELLOUT!!

I read your blog. You are some not-entirely-random connection to my past.

I understand your time-speeding-up sensation. I think I noticed it in my mid-twenties. I asked someone about it, and they postulated “when you are young, a year is a big % of your life; as you get older, it’s not.” Perhaps. It certainly is happening to me too. Take some comfort in the fact that it happens to most people, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE DOING —- and I bet people who are so consumed with a life filled with meaningful “Mission” experience it even more.

Nobody really knows what they are supposed to be doing, and those who say “I finally know what I was put on this earth for.”…. I think they are trying to fool at least themselves a bit. I think we all ask “what if” a bit. Even guys like Gene Simmons must, and mother teresa too.

Sounds like you got a NICE window. That’s a LUXury many people would envy.
