"Time Is The Fire In Which We Burn..."

...and sometimes, I feel I'm burning so bright, that I could burst into embers with the slightest touch.

 

Behold, the most important objects in my daily life - Clocks, Timepieces, Watches. Instruments to measure and accurately represent the flow of time in this plane of existence.

 

Upper left - My big atomic clock-synched digital clock (That can receive weather information from a wireless receiver mounted in my backyard patio)

Upper right - My Timex alarm clock (Bought it shortly after getting my Sega Dreamcast and Shenmue - It's a Timex, and it looks pretty close to the alarm clock in Ryo Hazuki's bedroom.) It wakes me up, even from the Sleep Of The Dead - I take it with me on trips away from home.

Lower left - A smaller atomic clock, permanently mounted in the bathroom, just to keep my mind from wandering, and making sure I limit my shower times to 10 minutes or less when I have somewhere to be. (On days when I don't really have a planned schedule, anything goes... Did I say too much? Oops.. ^_^;)

Lower right - My Casio G-Shock wristwatch, atomic clock-synched, and solar/light rechargeable - I believe the calendar keeps track of time through 2035 - I jokingly call it "The last wristwatch I'll ever wear."

 

Time is my enemy, time is my friend... tick tock tick tock....

 

(And because I love you all... here's my latest LiveJournal post, echoed here. ^_^;)

Since I don't feel like angsting too much.. I'll just toss up these blurbs I wrote out in Notepad...

 

"One of my greatest fears is that, at the end of it all, my life would be meaningless, for I feel I've done nothing worthwhile, or that I would be remembered for.

 

In other words, I would be 'buried by history,' just another small voice in an incredibly huge crowd."

 

The above was more or less what I was thinking about at work earlier today.

 

The time has come for me to stop having the pity party I've been having for the last few days.

 

I went to Weight Watchers for my weekly meeting and weigh-in earlier tonight, and didn't do as bad as I thought. I only gained a pound and a half. I thought I'd gain three or more.

 

Our leader was talking about keeping our motivation up, and suggested that we concentrate on thinking positive. It's a hard thing for me to do, and if you've known me, I can be rather hard on myself most of the time.

 

But, enough of that - Right now, I feel like attempting some more music. I'll come back to my original work, "Julie's Song" - in due time. Tonight, I feel like re-creating and remixing an old tune from an early 1990s game by Jaleco: "E.D.F. (Earth Defense Force)" - (a.k.a. Super E.D.F. for the SNES) - I've always liked the first stage music ("First Encounter"). Someone out there remarked that the game music seemed to evoke a "light rock" style.

 

I'll keep myself busy for an hour or two...

(Posted around 11:42 PM PST Thurs 02-04-2010 - Re-created first half of "First Encounter" - Called it a "night" around 1:25 AM - I will sleep soon....)

 

(Follow-up: A friend and former co-worker of mine suggested I should write a book about my life. I'd consider starting with a story (and/or a webcomic) about an alternate world version of myself. I may have the time to do so before this year is over.... In fact, I've started my "research" within the last month or so....)
