Tick Tock Tick Tock

Time moves constantly.(read with a quick tempo) yet we cannot see it, feel it, smell it, taste it, or hear it. Still we are trapped in time, so to speak. Trapped by our time measuring devices we move as fast as we can to find the time. I have often heard people say "the time is now" or "now is the time". The time for what? Exactly how does one find time? Or even better, how do we make the time? We apparently have time people who distribute the precious time after they're done manufacturing it. That must take a lot of time. 

Time is relative.  We have done the best we can to put number values on time, but we still can't permanently fix our watches, cell phones, and clocks without having to eventually readjust the time. Thus time changes in an instant. Sometimes time moves slowly in our heads and other times faster. Our perception of time becomes a direct relation to what we are doing with our time. Are we wasting our time, or using it productively. Either way we use our time, it is our time to use. Time is  even separated into different types of time. A time hierarchy if you please. You see I rather enjoy my Morning time. I used to covet the night time, but my preferences changed over time. Now my morning time is worth more to me than my late night time. Everyone has favorite times of the day or year, and these times become valuable. I think you might even be able to put a dollar figure on some of my favorite times. I am not sure how much time I have, because I cannot count it. Even so, I would hate to think that I was wasting even a moment of my time.

So, start your plans for tomorrow, today. Don't let them turn into a regret from something you should have done yesterday. Time may slip away like the summer, and all of the sudden you'll wake up and it'll be winter. No better time than the present I always say.

Catching up.

It has been some time since my last blog entry. I kind of put it off after the end of the last semester. Now, I don't have any Internet access where I will be staying in Wisconsin Rapids. That may become a problem in the future. All that aside, I am ready for the challenge of the next semester. I have spent the last few days getting to know the UWSP campus and facilities. I have also picked up the necessary books and materials. It still seems like a dream when I tell people that I am going to be attending UWSP. When I was walking around campus I felt like a completely different human being, or maybe just outside of my body and looking down on myself. Fortunately for me my algebra class transferred over as math 90, and their math 100 that I am taking doesn't look much different than what I was doing last semester. I am very excited for the first day of school.

I am staying at my in laws while I am attending school, and it seems like it will work out pretty well. I have my own bathroom which is nice. I also will have all kinds of toys to play with. Such as: tractors, atv's, horses, goats, and dogs. Not that the latter of those are toys, but they will definitely be fun to play with. I fixed one of the tractors last week. It had been sitting in the garage for two years, and no one thought I would get it to run. I guess they don't know how stubborn I can be when it comes to fixing things. Now I will start on the four wheeler, it really needs a tune up.

I managed to quit smoking about three weeks ago. I had my wisdom teeth pulled out and couldn't smoke, so I just decided to quit. It has definitely been difficult, and will continue to be difficult for some time, but it is already worth it. I can breath better, I don't wheeze and cough all night long, and I have more time on my hands to concentrate on more important things. I realized that whether I was smoking or not I would constantly crave cigarettes, so not smoking is the same as smoking except I'm not smoking. I don't know, it made sense in my head, and that's all that matters.

Hopefully I will be able to blog more frequently in the near future. I hope everyone is doing well, and good luck in the next semester.
