Shit really? i gotta break outta my routine.....time makes fools of all of us I supposeBonsaiK said:
Well, apperantly the earth quake in Chille made it so that the earth's day is now permenantly 1 microsecond shorter.
However i doubt thats what your talking about.
Really, it could simply be your mood thats affecting your view of time.
Or mayby your secretly the god of time, warping it to his will, so that everybody will age faster, and you can take your rightful place as ruler of space and time.
ALL HAIL THE TIME LORD ALL HAIL THE TIME LO-
Actually, it's just mood.

I think many people aren't used to not being told what they want to hear.BonsaiK said:
OT: Yes I've had that effect for the last few months but it's about to change as my life suddenly becomes full of new ventures. Don't get down over it though. I'm 22 and have spent a good deal of the last 4 years just fucking around with my life. However I'm doing something now and I've got a lot to accomplish. Try to find the positives.
Apparently, experiments have shown that time does actually speed up or slow down depending on where you are. They're videos on youtube but I forget what they're called. I'll have a look for them though and post 'em if I find 'emKhitten said:

For someone who claims not to be a psychologist, that's impressive. Actually, you pretty much hit the nail on the head theory-wise.BonsaiK said:
A quick word about automatic vs controlled processing: if you do something a lot, it'll eventually become automatised, therefore taking up little to no attentional capacity, to the point where you might be unaware you're even doing it (example: when a driver with 40 years experience checks their mirrors every few seconds, they probably won't be aware of it). Anything new will require controlled processing, taking up much more attentional capacity, so you'll be focused on the task to get it done and therefore be more aware of it and the time it takes.
Long story short: if you're doing the same thing every day, you'll eventually become so used to it that you won't be paying anywhere near full attention, so you probably won't notice the time slipping away. Do something interesting every day and you'll be much better equipped to account for your time - not necessarily something new, just something that breaks the routine a little bit.

I don't feel that. Time is passing at a good pace for me. It's strange how relative perception of time is.
Edit: DAMN NINJA'D
Well according to NASA the Earthquake in Chile most likely shifted the earth's axis making days 1.26 microseconds shorter sooooo maybe?

Edit: OT- i kinda know what you mean, but i've started using my time on personal projects (rather lazily though) so find some thing you want to do and just do it =P

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
Really, though, the older I get, the faster time goes. This both elates me (as the next seven weeks are going to fly by) and depresses me (where did time go? It was JUST January!)
