Countdown...

12:57 AM...

I never thought time could run so slow! It's a simple 60 seconds, 60 minutes per hour... 24 hours a day, 7 days a week... Im on countdown to Friday, and untill then... this clock will not speed up. When you think about the clock, we are really lucky in some ways. If it wasn't for the sun and stars spinning around and a bodys natural, biological clock, people thousands of years ago would never have known what time it was. Thankfully the sun dial and later the primative clocks came into being to help them tell time a little better.... lucky them... i'm sure it was ticking a little faster...

1:05 AM...

The last time I checked... it was 1:05 AM... meaning it took me a good 7 minutes to type, reword and correct any stupid spelling mistakes in the above paragraph. But if you didn't have a clock or me listing the times for you, how long do you think that would take you to write? Seriously? Your thinking... it took you 7 minutes to type that? Wow... Well seriously... I wish I had your preception of time... because.. it would be Friday by now... Or at least a hell of a lot closer to being Friday than it was 7 minutes ago.

Clearly one's preception of time can change depending on the situation, but right now it's so slow. Could it be i'm excited about Friday? Could it be the fact that I know it's really Wednesday... and I still have to get through 2 days of class and work before it's Friday? Is that why time is passing so slow? Perhaps sleep will speed things along. However... sleep will return only few rewards... than staying up. However... sleep skips a few hours for you... almost like being on fast forward in a DVD or VHS tape. I envy all of those who came hundreds of years before who used a sun dial or the sky to tell the time, time clearly passed much quickly for them.... but then again... they didn't live as long... Which isn't a good thing. I would like to live untill it's Friday at least.

1:12 AM..

No seriously. You think about the final count down for those astronauts in the space shuttle. What goes through there mind in those short 10 seconds? It's got to last an eternity for them. 10... The shuttles shaking like mad... is it supposed to do that? 9... Is my helmet that small or is my head really this big? 8... I wonder if I turned off the lights.. 7... Did the count down just say 7?? WTF! Hurry up! 6... I wonder what space is really like? 5... Do Vulcans really have pointed ears? 4... Man that girl in my history 101 class from college was hot 3... 3!!! What? Oo crap... I'm strapped in to a giant rocket ship.. with a one way ticket to outer space! 2... Here we go boys! 1.. Blast Off!!! 0...


I can only hope my countdown to friday isn't as slow... GL Friday! Here I come! Countdown...
