That's very true. I remember always watching the clock when I was a kid. Now I don't really pay too much attention and time just seems to float by.

Blissed, did you get that "you are not what you own" quote from Fight Club?
-------------------- The story goes, or the way that I was told There was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low And so he called all the wise men to the hall And begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls But here’s the thing, they came back with a ring It was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king Engraved in black, it had no front or back But there were words around the band that said Just know: This Too Shall Pass

Makes you wonder if time may actually be responsive to our consciousness. It's been shown that if you're enjoying something time moves faster according to your perception, and really all we have is our perceptions.

I hate to disappoint, but nothing I say is better when you're sober.

Well from personal experience I can say that comment is biased. Although I do agree that it all has to do with your perception. The past year & a half of my life I've been very introverted and reclusive, not enjoying myself at all. Time has seemed to slip out from under me. I feel as if time is moving very fast and I'm just standing still.

Well, if you haven't seen it, rent the movie. It's a good one, it makes a good point too. "You are not the contents of your wallet, you are not the car you drive, you are not your fucking khakis."

"It's been shown that if you're enjoying something time moves faster"
That whole statement seems to be biased. I've heard that before and it can be true , but time can seem to move just as fast (if not faster) when you're not enjoying yourself. It's all circumstantial and depends more on the individuals own perception in my opinion.

You just described the majority of my life. But hey, I enjoy keeping my own company.

I agree completely that it depends on your frame of reference, it just came out poorly I guess.

The last year has just flown by! Being a daddio is tougher than it looks! Believe me! Elijah is so good, though! That is, when he's not being a little bad kid.
