I'm booked til August
what is Time?
Webster's dictionary defines it as: 1. period during which something exists or continues or can be accomplished 2. the point at which something happens
Scientists have refered to time as the fourth deimension, which is just a whole other philosophical debate. My favorite singer/songwriters Jack Johnson embraces the tree-huugging-fresh-air-chugging idea "there is no such thing as time". Some of us like to think of time in terms of how frequently we need dye our hair to cover up our roots. In New York City we all know that TIME is MONEY.
All over the world, we find that time is marked in milestones often referred to as firsts. First set of training wheels, first car, first kiss, first real job...and so forth. Time and time again we sit in class or at work staring at the clock wishing it to move faster, and suddenly we look back and years have flown by. Didn't we just start college? Wasn't I just studying for that Latin test in high school?
I think one of my best markers of time was the past Friday when I met up with my old diaper-buddy, Adam (seee.....told ya I'd blog about this).. We acknowledged the fact that we once shared a crib, and hung out from time to time when our ages were still in the single digits. and now over two decades later I'm standing at Salooon looking around wondering what my old friend looked like and whether I'd even recognize him and if he'd recognize me...realizing that its been a while and man...we've got some catching up to do!
I can honestly say I'm satisfied with where my 23 years have led me so far. Of course there's still so much to do. I find myself constantly planning new things, picking new places to travel, and establisheding new resolutions always believing that YeS....this year really WILL be the best. How do you measure a year?, was the theme of RENT which I saw a few weeks ago, and thats something i've yet to figure out....So far since January I've already seen two broadway shows, visited Mexico, gone to a bocelli concert, and tried numerous new restaurants and bars...plus caught up with some very special people in my life. In May, June and July I have a trip to Europe planned, a wedding, a Madonna concert, possible a camping trip, and two distinguished road trips with my best pals. Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. But then I wonder by the end of next year, how will I be measuring it?
...hopefully with still the same enthusiasm that all things are possible with a little brainstorming and good people to help you live it up each day.
