But Maybe Someday.

It's been a looooooong day... actually... it just seems like it has been a long day... the actual day is only 2 minutes longer than yesterday... at least the daylight... all the days are precisely the same length... 24 hours... I wonder what makes some days seem longer than others... I have an idea that it is because doing something boring.... or something tedious makes the time seem to pass more slowly. Whatever the reason... I'm not sure I like the "longer" days.   But... then I get to thinking about it. I read somewhere that humans are the only creature on the planet that measure "time".  We all divide out the passing of events and set aside goals to coincide with that. It's night... I should sleep... It's morning... I should eat... we work 8 hours (usually) ...and have scheduled breaks or lunches... we are paid for our time... we set a certain production standard based on what we can get done in a certain amount of time... we worry about being late... because people are waiting on us. Can you imagine animals waiting... like a lion... waiting to chase gazelles until his mate shows up... or fish migrating from one area to another... "Wait for Walter.... he's always late... we can't all swim upstream until he gets here..."   Most things happen as a sequence of events.... but rarely do other species wait for one event to occur before they can do something else. Think about it.. what are we going to do tomorrow... why tomorrow? Because we have a schedule to keep ... we've organized our lives into this nice little divisions of time and if we don't keep that schedule, we'll fall behind. It's sort of sad that we spend our entire lives as a slave to time.... but it does give us a certain order to our lives.  Most people cannot live in a chaotic manner where they do what they want... when they want... Not many have that freedom. Maybe that is something to shoot for... I guess if a person truly has power in their lives... they are able to transcend the bonds of time and live each moment... savoring it as it passes.  I know it seems I'm usually waiting for something to happen... or something to occur.  I don't have the answers to eradicating this binding element in our lives... at least not at this time...  but maybe someday...

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Everyone has an agenda.

How do we know how what repercussions will arise tomorrow from our actions.  I am atop my tower... watching the world from up here.. I see so much lies and deceit from up here.. I honestly do trust a few people now.. to a varying degree.. I just don't know when they can be sucked into a situation.. or do things they wouldn't normally do... based on misinformation.. or their perception.. I see so many people get tricked.. into making poor decisions.. People are gullible. The world is full of traps and deception. I think sometimes people get the idea that life is a game.. that dating requires intimacy... I see people start into online relationships.. and they figure that the first thing on the agenda is to explore the sexual chemistry... online relationships.. if they're truely ever going to mean anything.. need to be treated like real life.. you don't just jump into bed with someone you are just getting to know..  the online world.. moves at a much slower pace.. as far a...

Better Off Without Me In It.

When I read over some of my past blog entries... I feel like I come across as psycho-depressive.  Sure...I'm not as optimistic as I once was... but life tends to do that to people over a period of time.. There really isn't much wrong with me other than having a very cynical viewpoint on life. I don't mean to make it seem like I've been done wrongly.. or that I am never going to function in life.  I know a lot of what I post is about how I am okay.. but I can't stress that enough.  I don't really need much more than I have now.. except maybe a change of scenery with where I am living.  Any one of you who has felt trapped in a room for years and years would probably come across being just as cynical. ...I am not saying I've had it worse off than anyone else.. I'm just saying my experiences have been different... so to judge who I am.. or what I am.. or am not capable of.. is completely unfair.. of course... life is pretty much given to be unfair in the fir...
