is it really November already? the second week of it, no less? jesus.
it's no revelation that time flies, but here's my theory on that. one day for a one-day old is 100% of that person's life. so, it seems like a lifetime for a one-day old to wait another day. a day for a two-day old, therefore, feels half as long. using this logic, someone at the age of 30 feels one day as roughly 1/11,000th of their life, or 0.009% of their life. nothing. a mere blink of the eye. and someone 60 years old feels a day as even half as long. so, using this rock-solid logic, this is why every year seems to accelerate by at ever increasing speed. obviously the year doesn't actually go by any faster, it's our perception of that year that is changing.
not that this has anything to do with anything. i'm just lamenting the fact that it's already November, the radio stations are already playing xmas music, and i'll be dead before i know it.

holy shit! are you serious, bro? if so, you have just shot to the top of my "List of j.b's Favorite Peoples" (which, though it includes a grand total of only 3 peoples, is still quite an accomplishment!).
but, seriously. thank you, man. wild.
so, you're just carrying around "Nail It!" or what?
well, it's official. i owe you one. i assume you'll come collecting when we meet up in a few years for levyfest. :)
casey-
awesome. very cool. you did say that i'd end up being taught in schools. i thought you were just blowing smoke up my ass. you were right. but, the thing is, all of us should be taught in schools. there're far better poets out there than are being taught in the schools. but, that'll also be true if/when i ever make into them.
again, thanks, man. keep spreading the word!
