26 hours

I feel like everything would be a little easier if there were 26 hours in a day... I know they say it won't work out but, really what's stopping them? I a world where a machine can pass a message along to our loved ones, E-mails are the core communication, and with the latest technology, you can order a cup of coffee from your iPhone, pay with your paypal account or iTunes account, walk in grab your coffee and leave, without talking to anyone. But I can't have two extra hours. I just don't think its fair. Maybe I should write a letter to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates maybe, between the two of them, they can work something out.

I have really been realizing how valuable time is. And not because I am SO important that my time is valuable. But because I know how much I would pay to have two extra hours. It doesn't really seem like a lot. I watched "August Rush" in two hours. Two hours of my life I will never get back. I can name things that last two hours that are a complete waste of time, but only because I've experienced them. I feel like I want all of that time back. I wish I could keep that time in a little baggie in my pocket. And whenever I needed an extra hour, minute or second, I could reach in my back pocket, open that baggie, and boom. More sleep, more time with my loved ones, more time with my girlfriend. All of those things I long for. Just tonight, I could have used an extra five minutes. Five minutes can be the difference between success and failure. It's just insane.

Can you think of somethings that have been a complete wastes of time to you? I don't mean mistakes, because sometimes you learn from mistakes, or great things come from mistakes... It's weird but it's true. But, can you think of something like August Rush? Can you think of something that you will never benefit from that you wasted two or more hours of your life on? Maybe years. Maybe only seconds, but still. Have you ever bent down to pick up a quarter, only to find it had been glued to the sidewalk? Not only is it embarassing, but you will never get that five seconds back, not only that, but you don't even get a quarter from it... Just a horrible situation in general.

I am sure there is a spiritual answer to this. I am sure someone could tell me a quote from the scripture and explain this all. But, I really think technology should handle this one, and perhaps Hollywood could stop making movies that are awful. All I'm saying is we have free will, and maybe I have free will to not waste my time, but Steven Spielberg, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs could use their free will to afford me two more hours a day.

Wow, this is a random blog that will probably be erased shortly. Enjoy and comment if you want. :)
