    Default blinking and time lapse

    When you open your eyes, your the kid begging others for a recommendation and hoping that people will believe in you. Then you blink and you're the one writing recommendations for others weighing on if you believe in them and hoping that the kind words you put forth and the weighed and measured thoughts can hopefully propel someone to the future they want.

    I still see myself as the untested, nervous apprentice, but the world says I'm someone different. If I blink again, who will I be?

    Burg...is the whole thread-starting thing starting to wear on you?

    Shoot... meant this to be in the Tailgate. Sorry mods.

    I will admit I do time lapse with the 'skins too. If I close my eyes I see Green, Olkiewitz, Manley, and Mann or Rypien, Clark, Monk and Byner... or Williams and Sanders, or Theismann, Butz, and Riggo. Strange how fast and completely time jumps about.

    I'll move you, youngster, but as written, I don't know it fares all that much better in the tailgate.

    For most folks in western cultures, it seems to accelerate each decade after 30.

    If it helps, I have often wanted to step up to you with a bat and make you believe.

    Sometimes, it doesn't work out... but trust me it would be brilliant if anyone including me could understand me.

    I got it. I actually thought it was a very good, very poetic commentary on the sudden realization of the passage of time and growing up.

    That said, I'm still not sure if it deserves it's own thread. I'm thinking the random thought thread would have been perfect.
