168 total hours in a week - 40 hours of work - 6.7 hours of commuting to work - 56 hours of sleep = 65.3 hours to do anything else

only 40% of the week is usable.

ugh.

the whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts — bertrand russell

and it’s funny how you find

you enjoy your life

when you’re happy to be…

alive

what if we used the magic 8-ball to answer major life decisions? otherwise vacillation may cause us to ultimately choose incorrectly.

more personally, do pessimism and cynicism help in my decision making process?

time is a four letter word. we countdown to good times, want to pause them when they arrive, and when they cease, we begin the process again. when we are in bad times, it seems like time DOES pause and as if we will never make it through.

sometimes i feel like i have a million days left to live so i shouldn’t be so impatient…other times i feel like living as if it’s my last day alive. conflicting views of time yield differing moods.

i just spent five minutes of my life composing this…and i’ll never get them back.

it is better to be “proud to be a world citizen” than “proud to be an American.”

does anyone REALLY want the ability to see into the future? it’s probably better to enjoy the present.

our life is what our thoughts make it. –aurelius

I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.

One world is aware, and by far the largest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait.

–Whitman
