   About Me  
 
Hi! I am jda, pop in and say hello why don't you! I can talk about things other than music.....you know? I am an artist at heart, with a temperament to match! I like to create, if feeds my soul. I am not a religious person although I know people who are, I respect their beliefs regardless of what they think of mine, we all have to beileve in something, but theology holds no interest or answers for me personally. I consider myself an agnostic. I do not endorse bullying people on the web.

If you could buy time?

image

If you didn't have the time to do all the things that you wanted to do in a day, or week, or in life generally speaking then would you buy time if it were a commodity? It would be like walking into your favourite corner shop and buying a lottery ticket only it would be a designation or a period of time. We all at some point in our needlessly busy lives wished that we possessed the ability or power to halt or slow down time even if for a second, and then ruminate over what we may have done differently in that relived moment. Alas though, we do not possess any such power or ability, it only exists in our minds and in there we can do whatever we please when we please. Time after all is a matter of perception! I can remember when I was a child…the school summer holidays passed by in slow motion and I didn't have a care in the world, they seemed to just go on and on for an eternity, but as I grew older and more responsibility was thrust upon me I began to notice time more, or should I say…lack of time!

A day for me just goes by now, all 24 hours of them and I hardly notice what I have achieved, all I notice is what I have failed to do when I have set out with the best intentions at the start of the day to accomplish something. Time goes faster when you are enjoying yourself (we all know that one) and when you get older it doesn't necessarily follow that because you are getting slower and taking your time over things that time is getting slower….waiting for you! In fact, time is passing by more quickly, or your perception of it is anyway.

So…the point of this self confessed admittance is to clarify why I have not posted an entry in this blog for a while, it is a question of time my friends and nothing more. I have so many interests all vying for attention at the same time and I find myself either too distracted or too tired to do any of them. Time management is complicated at best and I'm certainly not going to start it now, I tend to go with what I know I can accomplish and to hell with everything else! 

I like to create music, art, graphic art etc…and just lately it has been like a loud voice in my head progressively getting louder shouting……"DO SOMETHING DAMMIT!!" so after a while I tend to take notice of it and drop everything else until the creative spirit has been exorcised and laid to rest. Blogging I like, but I am no slave to it, I just need to take a step back from it once in a while so I can concentrate on other things of importance too me…..I'm sure we all can associate with that one.

    Hi jda, Good imagination! While at times, we desperately want to buy time if that's so easily available at the nearby store, there are also times when we want the hours to pass quickly (especially when you're compelled to take up some lousy assignments). You're posts are a gripping read, and thats why the insistence. Take your time, man!

    Hi Andy...how does that old pop song go? Ah yes....."If I only had time....only time" can't remember the rest, but it's pertinent though...thanks for your comment.
