Slow Ride

The thing, I find, with my blog is that I've never started a post with an aim or preliminary concept in mind. I begin typing some form of introduction (ta da) and hope that some sort of cohesive point worth thinking/reading about evolves.

I wrote the above two hours ago, and have decided to focus on time and our perceptions of time for this particular post in day 3 of my infantile blog. But before I start:

Musing No.3 if you'd please:
ignore the poor Zero 7 rip-off and be amazed
I think it's easy to say that 'Morph' will revolutionise mobile technology one hundred times more than the iPhone could have imagined. The iPhone is just the inevitable culmination of Apple's beautiful and brainy children. Morph seems to be doing a whole lot more. A whole lot. It's research also has a major impact on the technological advancements globally, buildings will be able to get covered in the invisible, super strength solar panels, the nano-wafting technology could be used in hospitals for various diagnoses? The list is pretty much endless. Apple's take on the mobile phone = the amazing iPhone... now imagine their take on the Nokia Morph. Just. Can't. Wait.

move along...

To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time.” - as I have already discussed, I do not plan these blogs and it's quite clear that I have an abundance of time. What a great explanation for their inadequacies. Time is all in the mind as I'm sure you're aware and it just so happens that the human perception of time has ended up the way it did. A fly's perception of time is much different, seconds take hours etc. This is why they have the reflexes they do. But aside from our natural perceptions of time I feel there is another, more annoying perception of time. And that is the way we reference the time we have left. This works on all levels be it within the framework of a day; week; year or a lifetime. I'm always telling myself (as a great procrastinator) that I have not only more time to do something but that i'll have a monumental task (such as AS revision) that I can do in the evening because I want to spend the day on my PS3... Why do we do this, why lie to ourselves? we have all the time in world to do the important things, but there's no time to lose so I must do something menial. Why do we kid ourselves? right now I am writing this because I should be doing something important. Perhaps there is no real answer, perhaps it's the natural order of things for us to sit in our pants and do nothing all day and it is the select few with energy who get things done and make s feel bad?

Being organised and getting things done makes you a freak. - I'm done, time to watch Ren & Stimpy as this blog is becoming too much of an effort.
