time is relative.

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.

 
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.

Thanks ... you're making this ol'e'man cry! 
 
I've been around ... the past week have been really sick and had to leave work for the doctor ... but generally, I don't like to post stuff like that ... the only help/assistance I have asked for (and will donate!) ... that person won't even reply to the emails ... so I have decided that ... it's best that I stick to it alone ... I don't want people to feel sorry for me, or cry ... but disrespect ... that's another story!
 
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 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.
