georgym Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Hellz yeah...I can totally agree with you here. If you've ever watched ducktales, there was an episode where Huey, Duey and Louie found a time-stopper device. They used it to beat the line at the ticket window, be home in time for dinner and A BUNCH of other crazy things.I wish i had that now. Espec here in NY, time goes way too fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuturephunk Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 . . . Rawk on George, I remember that episode . . I wish I had a cat like Gizmo working for me . . . oh what I could do with that beautiful device . . . tee hee hee . . . . . . . but seriously . . . a friend of mine from way back put that time perception thing into perfect perspective for me when we were talking about this very subject. . .He said that as you get older, your perception of the passage of time increases because each year you live a smaller fraction of your life as a whole . . . . . . Remember when you were a kid, and taking a trip to a relatives house seemed to be this monumental trek . . . I remember when I lived in Hartsdale and we'd go to visit my relatives in Queens or even New Rochelle . . it seemed like a huge journey . . like crossing of the desert huge . . . but now that I'm older and able to drive myself I realize that it only takes like 15 minutes if you're good . . . . back then it seemed like days . . . . . . I really didn't think about this fractional theory all that much, then as time went on it started to make beautiful sense . . . When you're 3 years old, that expanse from 3 to 4 is a whole THIRD of your existing life . .. . . that's a huge chunk when put in the perspective of your entire life . . . Now, say the jump from 23 to 24 means that in the course of a year you're only gonna live one twenty-third of your entire life . . . and as time goes on the fraction gets smaller and smaller . . . . . . An older co-worker put it perfectly when I mentioned that I noticed time speeding up . . . He was in his 60's . . . I'm like : "Man, it seems like time is going faster and faster every day . . . does this get better or worse? . . " . . He just smiled and looked at me and said : "Eventually you just try to hang on for the ride, especially after YOU start slowing down" . . . not that cosmic, but good office chatter nonetheless . . . .. . . I felt it speed up markedly in the last year as well. . but more later . . . I've got to get to work . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
