I am thinking about how time seems sped up compared to 10-20 years ago. A few years ago there was a guest on a radio show who asked his scientist friends if they thought time had sped up and to his surprise one of his physicist friends said time did speed up and he explained how but I don't remember what he said. Something to do with the planets and I think the sun. Anyway, the guest also said that he asked God why it feels like time goes by quicker and God told him that He has sped it up for a reason. I forget the reason.

Growing up, I didn't see many homeless people (it was still an abundant problem, the regulations were just stricter.) Now I live in areas where you see the homeless all around, no matter how "fancy" the neighborhoods might be.
The average person seems to always say they never have enough time -- and every Christmas, we all sit around and ruminate over how quickly the past year went by.
I have often wondered, if, for the homeless, they feel as if they have the opposite problem -- that every day goes by much, much too slowly, and that they have an endless amount of time in front of them -- and if it seems so daunting, that this is why they try to escape reality.
It makes me sad, but many of the people here are on drugs, and even if you gave them a chance at employment, they couldn't pass a drug test or sustain what it would take to hold a job.

I am thinking...
If only I had the ONE thing I REALLY want in THE WHOLE WORLD.
What would that be?
Why, sharks with laser beams attached to their heads, of course.
(This post was inspired by a chat with a CC friend about the recent Gladiator 2 movie, which neither of us has seen, but apparently they flood the Colosseum and fill it with sharks.)
I watched a YouTube clip of this scene, and one of the comments mentioned how cool it would have been to include Dr. Evil's favorite aquarium pets!

I am also thinking...
I wish I wasn't so impressionable.
There's a financial chat I check in on and one of the members calls himself Cheese Pizza, so of course, whenever I see that name, I really, really want to pick up a cheese pizza (or 3) at the store.
Why couldn't have have called himself Supreme Pizza or Thin Crust Vegetable Pizza instead? I don't find those nearly as enticing.
But a good plain cheese pizza (and/or one with mushrooms?)
I'll fall weak to temptation every single time.

Many years ago the homeless was the topic of a radio talk show and the guest who knew a lot about the homeless in California said many of them actually choose to be homeless because they enjoy not having responsibilities. They can sleep all day, don't have to pay any bills, pay any taxes, go to work, etc... I know a lot of them didn't choose it and there are a lot who want help. There was a news story years ago about a homeless woman who was picked up by the police because she was doing something in a store and wouldn't leave. I think she was sleeping or something. When the cops searched her they found she had thousands of dollars in cash on her person. She had cash hidden in all the layers of clothes she was wearing. But she was just an old bag lady that the workers see everyday. It's the money people had been giving her on the street over the years.
