Journal FortKnox's Journal: Not Enough 20
There isn't enough time in the day...
There isn't enough pay to make you completely happy...
There isn't enough time to spend with your family...
There isn't enough time to spend with your friends...
There isn't enough time to spend alone...
Ever wanted to do about 50 things but ended up doing 0? I think I'm finally coming to the realization of what one human body can do based on the choices made in life... honestly, I've realized it before, but the dream still comes back from time to time...
I want to make a game! I want to learn about astronomy! I want to help get funding to build a science institute in Cincinnati! I want to build my ideas on my website! I want a side job to get more cash for Christmas and some side items like a computer upgrade (got a job, but we'll see what the pay is like)! Etc...
Oh course, I don't have the time, nor the follow through to do all. Honestly, I'd only be capable of only one at a time. And if I tried too hard, the people that would be ill effected would be my son and wife (which would, of course, affect me negatively, too).
So, can someone invent a machine to add a few hours to the day (then beat any pointy-haired-boss that suggests increasing the work day)?? ;-)

Priorities (Score:2)
It's all about priorities. Sure, I want to do so many things it frustrates me. So, the alternative is, delegating authority to do those things, setting priorities on things one cannot delegate, and letting go of the things that fit in neither category. Oh, one could also sell ideas to others so that things you want to do get accomplished, but you might not necessarily be involved directly with them.
Yup, every day (Score:2)
I shoot for way too many, and I get some of them done. I'm still surprised sometimes by how much I have been able to do at times...
I understand about the getting none done sometimes, too, though. You just have to suck it up and get one out of the way, now.

I like my Mac, my FreeBSD box, MySQL, Perl, XML.
I like my Les Paul, my SG, my Telecaster, my slides.
I like books on history, etymology, politics, Dungeons & Dragons.
I like my friends, hockey, beer, fishing, biking.
I like feeding ducks and building shit.
I like my dog.
I love my wife, my son, and the girl who's name will start with the letter E when she gets here.
HOW THE HELL CAN I FIT ALL THIS INTO ONE DAY?
I leave for work at 0545, I get home at 1900, I eat dinner, read with the boy, kiss my

5 year old running around in a sugar or mania induced frenzy at 3am? Zap em, and out comes a refreshing energy drink that'll give you, the adult, that energy when consumed. Meanwhile, the child becomes ready to go to bed.
I just want one of those, a flying car and a bowel disrupted. Why can't science ever provide me with the things I need?

my roommate commented that he once heard of a study where people were locked away in an environment that did not include references to the time. No clocks, windows, etc. Dont know much about the other details about the living environment or how long they were actually there, but the results were interesting: They all adopted themselves to days of approximately 26 hours.

This is based upon the brains intrinsic circadian rhythm. Some of my early research was sleep research and it turns out that circadian rhythmicity is tuneable to some extent, but folks tend to have a basic rhythm that they default to that is typically 25-25.5 hours long.

And lots of sitting still.
I have time. i experience time very slowly, because it's an endless parade of sensations. THe pain meds and the neuropathy meds keep it damped down most of the way, or i wouldn't be able to handle it calmly.
So things that should be autopilot, like walking, are things that i have to think about.

No, your subconciouss won't manifest itself in reality as a side affect. That's just FUD.
