My time

I woke up at about 10.40am one morning. Went about as any normal day, did some abnormal things though totally oblivious of the times. Then while window shopping for some furniture with a pregnant lady at IKEA, it dawned on me! January, 2008 was already over and a new month, first day started, and was about ending!
Time has not been very friendly with me lately, With the same surprise, and caught-off-guard manner that the new year brought, I am obliged to keep my own time. Different from the conventional timezones. That means that I dont reset or adjust my patek phillpe, I just let it run and stop on its own...maybe this is my pace.
I keep telling myself that my 'new year' hasn't commenced yet. I gotta step up my game though

I know just how that goes. My life, for nearly the past year, seems to be rushing by at an increadible pace. Sometimes i wonder if im really living as full as i can, you know. It just keeps going by...

lol, how do yu spend a typical day? In my case, its not much to do with me rushing through life, it is more of me being a spectator as life plays at an incredible speed like yu said. I am always waiting for life to slow down so I can catch up. I keep asking, what do I need all these time(s) for!...maybe I should just have some chickens instead!

sounds like a plan UB, we can just sit around eating chickens! Ha! i love the way that sounds.

how do i spend most days? well i actually try not to sleep late most mornings (not the usual costum in my house) cuz iv got so much studying to do these days. so i study for most of the day really. reading and writing essays for my online english course. Im also taking spanish language 1 which is cool.

And i try to spend some time every day in my "art studio" (the corner of my room devoted to all my art junk) painting or drawing or just making...stuff! =) I must turn on some good loud music while i do it, one of the best parts of my afternoon.and sometimes i go to the gym...sometimes.
Mondays and Thursday I have ballet all morning so then i gota work extra hard in the afternoons. =P

So, you know, its always great to get out of the house and away from studies when ever the chance accurs. we're hoping it'l work to have people over saturday night, be fun. =)

And what do you do all day my friend?

Time…this wonderful tool of measurement never ceases to amaze me. Its funny you should write about time, because lately, thats all I have been preoccupied with…even though I don’t have enough time on any given day. I have decided to live my life understanding time,instead of letting it enslave me. I find liberation in the fact that no matter what life and time throws at me, it will still be my choice to proceed, stand still or even retrograde….thus I am my own master. Time is just another tool in my hands, with each second, I force it to write my story…my story!!!

Ma woman, I feel like I know yur life already after that narrative personal essay. I would score you like F+....lol...if there is anything like that.
Sitting all day and eating chickens definitely sounds like a plan...yu can go straight to the gym afterwards cos I dont mind being fat at all...anywho, music, arts, language, dance, chickens, gurl, you would be needing the 25th hour each day to pull off those! Maybe yu will have to outsource some of your routines to me then we can have an acceptable balanced life.
I contrarily hate rituals, I try to diversify as much as I can. But most of the time nowadays, I spend trying to discover me and build my niche. I miss being busy, but I love my tranquility, solitude and time-boss status. what I do each typical day, I would have to post an essay on that too.
It is amazing that this post is generating a lotta comments, I absolutely posted it in one of those VVF low resource moments...time, a weapon and a tool.

an F+?! what kind of a grade is that?

Yeah, what i want is more time of my own...time to spend thinking and writing and creating and going places. but one doesn't get much of that in high school i guess.
well how 'bout if i outsource some of my dancing to you, yeah? =) haha.
...and THEN we can go eat chickens.
