blinking and time lapse

Just thought a bunch of us might be going through it in various ways...

I feel you.

Days are so long, but months go by so fast it seems. This last semester has felt like the longest one of my life, but in a month I'll be done. Then begging for those recommendations

I've changed so much and I'm in a much, much better place than I was two/three years ago, but I wonder where I'll be in another year...hopefully engaged to my boyfriend with a bestselling novel. Okay, wishful thinking, but maybe someday.

If I blink again, who will I be?

Worm food.

[Burgold]

Worm food.

Yeah, probably :OLS:

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.

Had a friend once describe to me something he saw in an interview with Robin Williams.

He's on stage, doing a routine in which he's a Southern Preacher. He asks for a volunteer child from the audience. Welcoms the kid on stage. Sits and talks with him a little, then goes into his routine.

He's really wigging out, building up to his preacher routine. And at one point, he's exhorting the audience to BELIEVE. He shouts at them "Do you believe?"

"No". (From the kid.)

"Wham! Upside the head with the bye-bull!"

(Lays the kid out cold, on stage.)

Williams said he stayed in character. "Kid? Wake up kid. Lord, heal this kid", and so forth. Said that the parents were rolling, laughing. Thought that the kid was acting.

I've always enjoyed the mental image of Robin Williams being in a situation like that.

I definitely am.

Family life: I close my eyes and see myself looking to parents or coaches for every little decision. I open my eyes and find my kids, wife, and even parents asking me for help!

Work life: I close my eyes and see myself waiting for examples or direction from managers. I open my eyes and I'm providing guidance to my team.

Sports: I close my eyes and see my heroes in burgundy and gold...feeling like these mature 20 somethings should be able to handle anything. I open my eyes to see these children playing football and wearing the same uniforms my heroes once wore.

Yeah, that's it. Still lost, but now leading. Crazy how many trust me and lean on me... Even more so how much I come through ESP since in my own mind I'm the crazy kid switching careers and faking it.

Waiting to see something else. Something else comes and you are waiting for the next thing.

I woke up this morning and watched The Men Who built America (3 of the episodes).
And 7 NFL games.
I was compromised time-wise...but I needed to look at something for the in-laws after (30 minutes).
Now waiting for the NFL game tonight. Typically I wouldn't care about that game. But I need to catch back up with real time.

I feel like I miss plenty, and see plenty. But for some reason, I only get lucky with some news, some event. I have missed some events that would be unique, but have witnessed many in person that make up for it.

Sometimes I wish the world would just slow down, kick back, and everyone would stop caring so much about stuff that doesn't really matter. We need to enjoy life while we have it now.

Don't worry. I hear that after this, comes the phase where you actually do know things, and nobody wants your opinion.

Remember a few months back seeing a t-shirt:

Caution
RETIRED
Knows it all,
and has plenty of time
to tell you about it

They made a movie about that whole blink and time passes thing. Click



You sure you don't have some secret special remote control? Or maybe somebody else does and they're using it on you.

China, I love that movie for Kate!
