The Best Time For Time

Here's a thought experiment.

Say you have a watch. A real nice antique french tourbillon one. Let's say some random homeless drifter gave you that watch for enough money to get himself a blowjob, bottle of whiskey and some crack. You give the money to him and then you look at the damn thing, only to notice that it's really one of those cheese-ass swatch watches from the 80s. But you still really like that watch. You really do, so you keep it and eventually end up selling it to a buddy for whatever an 80s swatch watch goes for these days. You give it to him and he is astounded that you would let him have a real nice french tourbillon watch for the price of a swatch. But it wasn't a tourbillon a minute ago. What the fuck just happened?

Perception is everything... or is it? Tact is everything... or is it? Games are played, but why play the game when you don't have to. But you do don't you? You have to because everyone does... right?

Someone's Tourbillon watch maybe someone else's swatch, but many times that connection isn't made. Meaning.. reality and forms in THAT REALITY may be "constant", if you will, but many don't understand what they're into until it's too late. And then they complain that they really believed they had something else, but were duped into giving it away.

It seems a truth that is "truthier" than others is that time is everything. Circumstances are everything. Human beings are everything. Not being alone is everything.

The best time for time is now obviously. The best time for you? When I get around to it.

We live in an extremely selfish society that pussyfoots all over personal responisibilty. But that's what advances our species. That's what gives us hope.

That's what gives us love... I think.

Now I just need to find time for that.
