time is your wife, make sure you woo her

i sometimes imagine people dying or experiencing some type of tragic event. these horrific dreamlike movies play through my mind until i begin to feel alive. i sometimes imagine that i'm invisible, like this ultimate vampire goddess with unlimited lives and continue buttons.

i sometimes imagine myself dying or experiencing some type of tragic event. these horrific dreamlike movies play through my mind until i begin to feel alive. i sometimes forget that i'm mortal and very much real, like a vampire brought into sunlight or sucking on dried frogs.

**this blog seems incredible morbid and dark, but it's not. is it "normal"? probably not, but that's why i'm writing it here instead of spilling them out to the nearest cashier at h-e-b.

me: hey, what would it be like if this whole store blew up right now?

cashier: umm, one moment please

.........pause..............

cop: excuse me, please come with me, ms.

me: ah, crap...



life is fleeting. ever hear of the term "just stop and smell the roses?"
do we practice this on a regular basis? in fact, if you were walking around a store and happened to pass a section filled with vibrant roses, would you stop to smell them?
too often, i find myself saying something like "ah, i'll do it next time.." or anything around those lines. but, what if there isn't a next time? what if all we have was/is: today? i keep assuming that i have all the time in the world to make up for lost time, when really, i don't! we're running out of time here! time is urgent and never-ending! it sounds so incredibly repetitive because we're somehow reminded of how much time we have every-single-minute of the day! we spend our entire lives wrapped around time itself, as if time wears us and not the other way around. do you have a watch? better yet, do you have the time? i too, am a victim of this time consuming haunt of a glass! how would our lives change if we literally saw how much time we had reflected on our transparent bodies? how different would you treat time if you could literally see it elapsed through your body like a walking hourglass?


one of the most disregarded gifts of life is Time. how can we start pro-actively courting Time to give her what she deserves? how can we stop neglecting her as if she's not right in front of us? how is it that we pay so much time looking at other people's watches and not our own? how can we ignore her while has been so utterly patient and obedient? have you ever met something as consistent as Time?
she has my full and undivided attention. i will somehow make a conscious effort to woo her throughout the day. i will smell her perfumes while taking a stroll in the grocery store, or maybe even watch her paint the skies all throughout the day; but nonetheless, i will woo her....

time has become my second wife, if she will still have me tomorrow.....


this is just my two cents,
