    measuring time

    we will move back west before I use all 700 coffee filters I just bought...
    I'll have another candle on the bDay cake before the milk goes bad...
    some items at the back of my produce drawer haven't been good since I last mowed the lawn...
    curbside garbage pick-up preceeds a nasty diaper filling by mere minutes...
    likewise a deluxe floor cleaning means either rice or cous-cous for dinner that night...
    I'll ski before I cut my toenails again...

    ...maybe its just irony

    The diaper indicates a small child. Small children get more on the floor that in their mouths.

    I always seem to wonder what I'll be doing when I finish my latest box of Q-tips. I use one every day, and they come in packages of about a million. It's the rate that the box is slowly whittled away which somehow trips a time card on me in the morning.

    Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred - how do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred- how do you measure a year in the life?

    God, I fucking hate Rent.

    well, call me old fashion; but i measure it in numeric days(i.e. there are currently 32 days left); and believe me it goes plenty fast, especially when get under a hundred days.

    try it next year. start marking down each day from 365, 364, 363, etc. it seems like a lot of days in january; but trust me; unless you're a pretty serious over achiever, you'll hit that 200 or 150 day mark and wonder what the hell you did for 150 days besides work, sleep and shit. i'm quite sure that for year 2, you'll be more productive and goal oriented.
