It has been said that time is money. Time is not money. Time is our perception of existence and events through a linear dimension that seems to inexorably and exclusively move from the past through the present into the future. However from the nonlinear non-subjective viewpoint, it's a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

I have no concept of time. Therefore, I am in the ignorance/bliss category.

SCORE!

In my view, time is that old woman who lives in the abandoned warehouse's doorway across from the 7-11 down the block. She sits there, gumming her lips and sometimes pretending to wipe the lenses of her red-framed glasses, which are too big for her face and don't actually have any lenses in the them at all, and she mutters to herself as people walk by on the sidewalk, and she farts. She farts a lot. On cue, it would seem, but perhaps her farts are merely unconscious reactions to the close passage of others. One can never really know these things. They are a conundrum, a puzzle for philosophers and godly men and men of science. Not for I. I merely glance at my watch, wrinkle my nose, and hurry on.

If I could save time in a bottle...
Ticking away the moments of a dull day
It's a hazy shade of winter!

Psychologists say that the orser in which you clean your finger nails will have a direct effect on your happiness.

Psychologists say that the way you save episodes of Lost on your TiVo will have a direct effect on your happiness

Psychologists say that the way you use old Bruce Springsteen albums as clay pidgeons will have a direct effect on your happiness

Psychologists say a lot of bizarre, bogus crap... but that's what they're paid for.

Our tax dollars at work!

Time is a resource that you don't know how much of it you have, you can never ever get more of it, and that people actively seek out ways to waste.

I took the accompanying test. Each category contradicted the next. One determined I was most likely to gamble and do drugs, basically live like a hedonist, while another said I was unlikely to do the same things. I'd tell you what this registered on my bullshiat meter, but I think the article broke it.

Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, but I have seen the face of time and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am and why I say this...

Time is what prevents everything from happening at once. ~John Archibald Wheeler

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. ~Henry David Thoreau, "Economy," Walden, 1854

The clock talked loud. I threw it away, it scared me what it talked. ~Tillie Olsen, Tell Me a Riddle

Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. ~Dion Boucicault

Time goes, you say? Ah no!
Alas, Time stays, we go.

A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours. ~John B. Priestly

It strikes! one, two,
Three, four, five, six. Enough, enough, dear watch,
Thy pulse hath beat enough. Now sleep and rest;
Would thou could'st make the time to do so too;
I'll wind thee up no more.
~Ben Jonson

The flower that you hold in your hands was born today and already it is as old as you are. ~Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin

Who forces time is pushed back by time; who yields to time finds time on his side. ~The Talmud

El tiempo da buen consejo. ~Proverb

There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time. ~Napoleon I, Maxims, 1815

Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations. ~Faith Baldwin

Why won't they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, can't they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping - rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year's and Easter and Christmas - But, goodness, why need they do it? ~John Dos Passos, 1917

How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on. ~Zall's Second Law

And God, the herdsman, goads them on behind.

The Present is a Point just passed. ~David Russell

Methinks I see the wanton hours flee,
And as they pass, turn back and laugh at me.

Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes.

No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow. ~Denis Waitely

Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away. ~Charles Caleb Colton

FTFA: Ann Adams, 43, an architect in Colorado Springs who has two boys, rises at 4 a.m. and goes non-stop till late at night, she says. She takes conference calls in the car as she drives the kids, who are on six different teams, to athletic events. "I threaten them with their lives if they don't stay quiet on work calls while I'm driving," she says.

*whew* I'm glad I got that right. As a middle-aged white guy who isn't a fan of Hip-Hop, sometimes my pop song memory is unreliable.

When i think of time I think of that gay movie where the guy wanted to go back in time just to pork some hot chick he found on an old photograph, and he managed to go back in time by just THINKING about it, and he ends up porking a chick, but then he saw a penny and that made him whoosh back to the present.

I view time as a countdown that gets slightly louder with each tick, until it ticks loudest and finally at your time of demise.

Does that outlook make me unhappy?
