Personal rambling...

about time.
I think I've mentioned it before but since I'm not sure...
 
I hate clocks. I hate having to deal with time. I know that the most relaxing part
of my time-off from work is that I don't have a clock telling me it's time for anything.
But it doesn't completely end there. Oh no, there are appointments to do things one
can't do during the work week.
What time are they open? What time do they close? What time do I have to be there?...
 
It's a screwed up system and one that I could care less if was improved....I wish it would
go away.
Do tell me it's not screwed up...well you can but I know better.
One fact is our age...it's even screwed up from the get go. We can't even agree on when
to start counting. Personally I'd like to know why 9 months or so of my life they didn't even count.
What's with that? They decided they'd start counting when the doc said? He's the time keeper?
 
Then I wind up in a world of magnetism that nobody can really explain....sometimes things just
seem to have started out all wrong and will never be corrected to make any sense at all to me.
Knowing I'll disappear and really never understand why I was here or anything about what
happened while I was.
But time will take of it all. pfftt.

    I met a new neighbor one time. We had a great visit. While I was leaving
    he said, Mike, come back anytime.
    I knocked and knocked on his door at about 3:30am and when he
    finally came to the door...there I was, with guitar in hand...Dave ya wanna
    jam to this new progression?...I guess he didn't have time to answer.

    True.

    I stopped wearing a watch decades ago. 

    I still manage to be on time most of the time. That kind of thing tends to be important when you are the president of a business and people expect you to be punctual. 

    Mostly I am not worried about what time it is and don't eat meals based on the time.....I eat when I get hungry and sometimes, not even then. Maybe that's why I still weigh 155 lbs.....

    I think you need some time off.

    That is a great and very accurate statement. It is a perfect example of how
    time as become a nagging **** to every little aspect of my life.
     
    After 57 years of most every minute of my time here I've had to listen and deal
    with it.
     
    Time for this, time for that, do you have the time?, will you make time?, is it time?....
    I'm not joking one bit. I wish time would just go away.
     
     
    Herb I have many watches. I don't know why...gifts..I don't wear them. Didn't when I was
    young and why in the world would anybody wear them now?...time is plastered on everything
    we look at.
     
    Well it's wasted time I guess even talking about it. Crazy when ya meet a musician that
    can't keep time isn't it?  I wonder how in the hell did they manage to screw that up?  I can't
    escape from it and they can't keep track of it.
     
    How can that ticking that everybody is brainwashed with not be embedded in their very bones?
     
    Just weird. Much like guitarist that play for years and years and years that can't tune up to pitch
    when they change their strings on their guitar......without the help of a tuner....where did they spend
    their time? and on what?...
    crazy huh?

    Yeah .. .me too ... and we're not getting younger!
     
    On top of it the major synthesizer designers? ... they were into clocks! Check out Roland, Korg and Yamaha in their history.
     
    Kinda puts a different spin on the music having become so mechanical and industrial and commercial!
     
    I'll **** some more in the bathroom later ... seems like a better place for it!

    Mosh! I was wondering where you were and now there you is.

    I don't care how old I am. Just fed up with clocks dictating when.

    I think retirement is the only solution. Not complete but at least hope
    for some relief.

    It has brought up a question. I wonder if X2 can funtion without a time signature?
    I bet it's impossible.
    So if one wanted to record without any relation to a clock..only feeling...no reference..
    no time.

    I haven't wore a watch in years either. I can't remember the last one I had.

    There's a clock on my stove, microwave, coffee pot, cell phone, cordless phone, alarm clock in the bedroom, computer, laptop, playstation, dvd player, the house thermostat, car radio, truck radio, billboards, on the pump at gas stations, my vcr, timer for my Christmas lights, halloween lights, landscaping lights, kennel lights, outside garage lights ... I can't even take a dump without looking at a clock in my bathroom ...

    Why the hell would I want to wear one on my wrist?

    Since I've been out of work, I've lost all track of time. The days just melt together. It's kind of nice, but at the same time (<--- LOL), I'm losing my marbles. My short term memory is non existent any more. I've even had to start setting up reminders on my cell phone. Sometimes I just sit here in a daze for hours and suddenly realize, holy $hit, the wife will be home in 45 minutes and I just sat here all day drooling.

    So, in a way, it's good to have all those things coming at you that you have to keep track of, because once you stop using that portion of your brain that processes all of that, I'm afraid it's gone for good. I'm only 41 and sometimes I can't remember something somebody told me 15 minutes ago and that's the God's honest truth. It's really scary.

    Do you think losing your marbles is directly related to not tracking time Bub?

    Man! Steve lost all is balls for powerful beings sake! I wonder if he quit tracking time?

    Now you have me re-thinking my time issues. That's a good thing....I think. Well if I can
    find some time, I'll spend some time thinking about it.
    I saw a movie recently....where time was money. When one was broke they were literally
    broke and out of time.

    I think it goes deeper than just that, but yeah, that's a big part of it I believe. The less you have to do, the less you have to organize, the less you have to keep track of, the less you end up using your brain, and I think the older we get, the harder it is to regain what you once had up there.

    I think it all ties together.

    It's ok ... I'm not worried about my clock ... I already threw it out a long time ago! Just give me the music and let me die in peace with it in my dreams! All else ... ashes to ashes, dust to dust ... a$$holes to a$$holes and what not ... won't matter to me one iota!

    I think it all ties together.
    I think we're perfect opposites.
    When I'm performing by the clock- day job, and many tasks like mowing/yard work every weekend...
    I feel like a robot and just doing the same ol same ol...it's when I'm in control of my life and can
    perform as I feel is when I'm most active. That's when my brain hits overdrive.
     
    II: Time to go to work, time for break, time for lunch, time to break, time to go home, time to eat, time
    to go to bed...repeat 4 more bars.
    Weekend. Clock stops. :II
     
    There's the chart. It's been the chart for over 20 years. Now I look back and feel exactly has you except it was years that "melted together". I believe it's the clock that not only melted the years
    but also made it exactly as you described - not having it, did to you. Memory issues...
    I remember all my projects from my weekends at home...it's the years of daily company robot that
    I can't recall.
    They say life is short. I think if one could remember every day it may not seem so short.
     
    Cool Bub. I feel you can also understand my view of the clock...even if it seems opposite.

    You might try one of the green ones... 
    Substances such as LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline may affect our time perception. At higher doses time may appear to slow down, stop, speed up, go backwards or even seem out of sequence. In 1955, British MP Christopher Mayhew took mescaline hydrochloride in an experiment under the guidance of his friend, Dr Humphry Osmond. On the BBC documentary The Beyond Within, he described that half a dozen times during the experiment, he had "a period of time that didn't end for me".

    Been there done that... lost the tee shirt.

    I have severe sleep apnea and according to my doctors that can cause permanent memory loss problems due to lack of oxygen to the brain. This explains a lot doesn't it? LOL!

    When I was a kid they didn't have the little breathing machines they have now that I use. I suffered with it up until 7 or 8 years ago.

    When I was 13 I was in the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and this man did massive surgery on my throat to widen it so I could breathe. He removed my Uvula, most of my soft pallet, and he took a laser and burned away a lot of tissue in my esophagus to widen it. Tonsils and adenoids as well, but that's a common thing. It helped but didn't cure it.

    So I think that's part of it, but I know guys who are a thousand times sharper than me that said they experienced the same thing I'm going through when they hit 38 ~ 40.

    Ah well, what ya gonna do. :-) Time marches on! LOL!

    Well I'm so tired of losing I got nothing to do
    And all day to do it
    I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go
    And all night to get there
    Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
    Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?

    Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands
    It's ticking away with my sanity
    I've got too much time on my hands
    It's hard to believe such a calamity
    I've got too much time on my hands
    And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
    Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
    Too much time on my hands

    Ticking away the moments 
    That make up a dull day 
    Fritter and waste the hours 
    In an off-hand way 

    Kicking around on a piece of ground 
    In your home town 
    Waiting for someone or something 
    To show you the way 

    Tired of lying in the sunshine 
    Staying home to watch the rain 
    You are young and life is long 
    And there is time to kill today 

    And then the one day you find 
    Ten years have got behind you 
    No one told you when to run 
    You missed the starting gun 

    And you run and you run  
    To catch up with the sun 
    But it's sinking 

    Racing around 
    To come up behind you again 
    The sun is the same 
    In a relative way 
    But you're older 

    Shorter of breath 
    And one day closer to death 

    Every year is getting shorter 
    Never seem to find the time 

    Plans that either come to naught 
    Or half a page of scribbled lines 

    Hanging on in quiet desperation 
    Is the English way 

    The time is gone 
    The song is over 
    Thought I'd something more to say 

    Home 
    Home again 
    I like to be here 
    When I can 

    When I come home 
    Cold and tired 
    It's good to warm my bones 
    Beside the fire 

    Far away 
    Across the field 
    Tolling on the iron bell 
    Calls the faithful to their knees 
    To hear the softly spoken magic spell...

    Sarambled eggs. A Rambler. Brown pills and drugs.
    Lyrics to songs. Memory loss. Health and attitude.
    Time quotes. Recommendations.

    Today I feel like clocks and the somewhat negative
    attitude for them has been made different.
    I realize now that my perception isn't near as bad as it could be.

    Amazing. Simply amazing. :)

    I remember a tech finding out that something was indeed wrong
    with my PC by the clock on it being minutes off.
