Find time to find time

The entire term "finding time" is a bit ridiculous. Time, as once put my Paul G on the back end of a sunrise in Brooklyn, is man made. Our internal clocks are well aware of the seasons and the how our routines are dictated by the earth's rotation and subsequent availability of light. We get tired and go to bed earlier in the winter months, assuming we have a warm blanket, and choose to fight the night in the summer in an attempt to catch the elusive summer breeze that reminds us of riding bikes as kids. The crisp fall air is refreshing after a humid asthmatic summer and spring often relaxes us with pollen and conjestion. As an intelligent species, we are able to identify our emotions and moods as they alter between the seasons.

We find time to do what we need to and what we want. We tell clients and co-workers, "as soon as I find time, I will take care of you." This makes them think that you are busy and at least somewhat sucessful. In fact, if they believe us that we have the ability to 'find time' they should be following us around so they too can learn how to find time. "Where has the time gone?" Well, I opened up my dresser drawer and found that 3 years I lost in college. I went to Brooklyn, and found that 2 weeks that I had been looking for that I lost at Doug Falls house skipping 3rd period. In fact, a homeless guy in Adams Morgan told me he saw the whole of my baseball career hitchhiking on 18th looking to get up with me and make amends. What will I do with this time that I found:

1) Thank time for returning to me and maybe take my time out to a nice dinner
2) Talk to time about how they feel about the different seasons. Does 3pm feel the same in fall as she does in winter? Is 4am is as scared of itself as I am of 4am?
3) Take my time to a baseball game and introduce her to my friends and family
4) Time my time on a stopwatch in the 40 yard dash
5) Ask time for advice on how to be better at sharing her with soberiety
6) Have time give me advice on watches
7) Have time listen to the Bengals and Pink Floyd and have it choose its favorite.
8) Take time to Vegas so it can feel what it is like to not exist
9) Try to kill time so that I can live forever
10) Take time to write more neat tips with no regard for its content.

I will continue to find time to find the time to write neat things (or introspective ramblings or poems, sonnets, rhymes, beefs, jokes, commentaries, etc.) I will also try to provide some of my original brand of neat tips which were intended to make our lives a bit easier. See retro (time does not like this word) below:

Neat tip:

Merging in heavy traffic is scary and often dangerous. Next time you
are in gridlock traffic, try letting someone in your lane. That "thank
you" wave can make your ride home a bit more enjoyable. Who knows?
Maybe that person is that neighbor you have been meaning to introduce
your self to.

Take care to the neaters out there and am completely excited and terrified about the neat (as opposed to the potty-mouthed) version of mega.

XOXOXO
