yeah I see where you get from,... I turn 25 this summer, and it has been crazy fast since I graduated from high school. on the other hand, I think if time would feel like it did when I was a child, life would probably seem much more tedious. when I feel depressed, I remind myself that the good times will come fast enough ;)

To my perception, time faster every year. My parents used to tell me that, and my ignorant childhood self would think they were exaggerating. They weren't :\

Would you illegally download a movie for a priest if he asks you to?

I'm considering taking the moral high ground =D

Yeah fuck 30, it's like my body acutely starts crapping out left and right... "oh wait, turned 30, let's bail with the whole health thing". Not that I've been treating myself particularly right. Exercising very frequently now since recently.

Time for me seems to fly by so fast, but I really suspect it has to do with other things.
 
Happy birthday Xammy! I'm slowly approaching 28....FML

The logic I see in this is that when you were 8 a year was 1/8th of your life, whereas when you're 30, a year is merely 1/30th. lol.

Any story here? this post has me intrigued lol
 
^My initial reaction earlier was to go "I wonder what kind of illegal films a priest would want to download?!" and kind of sit there pondering. Whoops, apologies. It took a few reads to realise what was meant.
 
I didn't encounter LSD until I was 27. Up until that point, yeah every year seemed to go by faster and faster. After LSD, it seems like I've hit the reset button on that process, a kind of macro time dilation. I just find that kind of interesting.
 
When I was addicted to opiates and kind of just wasting time all the time, not really doing anything, time went by fast and it seemed, looking back on a year before, that not much time had passed. Now, when I'm really busy with stuff I mostly love, and almost always doing something, time still flies by just as fast or faster (because I'm older), but when I look back even 6 months it seems like it's been a long time. I got off opiates 2 years ago and that period of time seems as long was the entire 10 years I was on them. It's a strange sort of reverse time dilation, but it still seems fast at the time.
 
Having spent the last decade of my time here on earth living life on the edge, time has managed to slip by me unnoticed. Looking back at the past ten years, it took coming to the realization that I had very few fond memories to reflect on as well as the steady decline in health both mental and physical inevitably guiding me towards a long drawn out suicide to finally convince me to turn my life around. Ten years have passed and here I am, twenty-six years old trying to figure out just who the hell I am supposed to be anyway.

Time passes us by more quickly when we lose awareness of self, whether that be because of work, stress, drugs, other people, whatever. Maybe by slowing our breathing down and focusing on right now we can slow time down while savoring every bit that makes this single forever point in time. Now is forever, so no time truly passes. Unfortunately we will still grow old, and eventually our bodies will fail us as our organs collapse and our souls move on to the next who knows what thinking optimistically here.

From this point onward, I shall call you "Mitya" (after Dimitri Karamazov). I mean that in the most affectionate way possible. And, I must ask, though I understand your position given my suffering from hypersexuality during my manic episodes, how the hell is sitting next to someone for 2 hours at a movie theater and then talking about what you saw afterwards an incontrovertible proof of romantico-sexual intentions?

And congrats on your obtaining the PD modstick, I am quite happy and can think of no possible negative thing to say about your qualifications for this post. You've been a credit to PD ever since you joined this site.

(P.S. Have you talked to a psychiatrist about getting a libido reducing Rx? If not, you should.)

P.P.S. Happy birthday xammy!~

Thanks for the kind words, I hope to live up to the expectations the good people of PD have of me! And no, I hadn't even thought about that, it's been many years since I last saw a psychiatrist and like many people it has been that many years since I've trusted the industry of psychiatry unfortunately.

And yeah, I know I was over-reacting. She ended up seeing the movie with her coworker and I just forced myself to get over it. I have no reason not to trust her, I was thinking irrationally. The thought still lingers, but I try and oppress it.

What a stressful fucking morning... I hit a huge pothole in the dark last night (I stayed with my girlfriend at her friend's house last night while she watches her friend's cats), that suddenly developed out of seemingly nowhere, and it blew out the side wall of my tire. I ran my old spare to death a while back and haven't gotten a new one yet. So this morning I had to work it out and get home for work. I called the place I bought my tires at, hoping they'd have another, because I have road hazard coverage on these tires with them and they'd replace a substantial portion of the tire's cost for free (based on total wear off the tire thus far), but they couldn't get a suitable tire in for "at least 2 days" (my car has unusual wheel size). My girlfriend's car is in the shop so I don't have any other way to get around, so I found another tire place that had one that would work... the only one they had in was $145. I also had to get towed, and the only place I called that would be able to come in a timely manner I went with, forgot to ask them what it would cost. I got towed 6 miles, and they charged me $85 (85 fucking dollars for 6 miles of towing? What the fuck). Got the new tire on, drove home, and I found out the pothole impact did something to my alignment and now my car pulls fairly strongly to the right. And now in my stressed state all I can think about is the growing list of car expenses... I already had about $450 worth of work to get done on various parts (a bushing, and some rear alignment parts), plus my rotors are all pretty bad, and my other 3 tires are close to needing to be replaced.

The part that's pissing me off the worst is that I feel like I got ripped off. I could have had a cheap tire, but I can't afford to not have a car for days, and how does a place justify $85 to tow 6 miles?
 
I'm going to California tomorrow fellow PDers! Although, I'm kinda bummed... either my rib is broken, or it's still badly bruised... and we're going snow skiing Wednesday and Thursday. God knows if I'll even be able to successfully twist to slalom ski, certainly won't be able to take any black diamonds this time round... I'm so fuckin pissed at myself, I haven't been skiing in four years, and I looooovveee skiing, it's easily my favorite sport. And here I am, finally going again, and I'll be lucky if I can successfully make it down blue runs... AGHHHH!!!!!!!
 
Damn, that sucks, but awesome you're going skiing! I love skiing, I've been doing it since before I can remember. I used to go every year but now it's been a handful of years. My family and I went to Colorado on a ski trip once, it was so great.

I don't like aging anymore. Aging was cool until I turned 21. 22 was annoying. I wanna be forever young!

Speaking of which, if there's any living proof that you can be young at heart in your late 60s, it's this guy. I'm not really a huge Shpongle fan or anything, but damn, what an inspiration.
