Just after midnight and just after noon on July, 8th, it will be.... 12:34:56 7/8/9 -this little bit of trivia brings up the whole issue of TIME - something with which i believe far too many of us are connected or dependent - TIME is one of those things in our daily lives about which we can do nothing - absolutely nothing - it goes on - it continues - and continues - i mean, we can't stop it - we can't move it forward - we are unable to make it stand still - [well, the majority of us, anyway- yet, that is!] -
many many moons ago, i decided that i did not wish to be tied to the inherent constraints involved with TIME - i didn't wish to be constantly bombarded with clocks, watches, and other reminders that TIME was ticktocking away - aside from the fact that we are every day bombarded by visual and audio reminders of TIME - there is a clock on microwave ovens, clocks are installed on bose music systems, time is imbedded into televisions, car music systems, the fronts of buildings, on street corners -
TIME LURKS EVERYWHERE -
so, at the age of 16, i gave away the wrist watch i'd been given for my birthday and i've not bought a clock since - now, it is true that i have always been able to awaken from sleep at a precise moment - before i go to sleep, all i have to do is just tell myself at what precise time i want to awaken for the day and i do - to the minute - it's just something that i've always been able to do, so even an alarm clock is not anything i've ever needed or owned - if i need or want to know the precise time otherwise, there are already in place in today's world more than enough "time-pieces" i can check - and so, on the faces of all the electrical pieces around my house, i place black electrical tape to cover the digitally glowing face of the clock on each one - my cellular phone totally suffices for the correct time of day or night - and it isn't staring at me everywhere i go -
for me, TIME is a STATE OF MIND, just as is AGE, or SEXINESS or BEAUTY - well, i see it's TIME for me to quit this little trivial triviality post and perhaps come up with something a bit more intellectually stimulating - hmmmm....

Just thought I'd let you know I've been trying to come up with something intellectualy stimulating ever since my post earlier today but somehow Johnny Depp & George Clooney keep coming to mind especially after your and HH's comments!! Weird!!
