Where Did The Time Go?

You know what I mean?

And the older you get, the faster it goes. I don't know why. It just does. It's like riding an escalator that starts out slow but hits top speed halfway through. I don't think anyone's ready when it happens either. You just kind of wake up one day and realise, "Dammit! All the things those old people said to me when I was young were true."

Anyway, I'm trying to fit all this stuff I want to do into my life while I'm still here and capable of doing it. And the new age of information technology has opened so many doors of possibility and accessibility, it's intense. I'm the kind of person who has an idea, can visualise it completely but is easily distracted and demotivated by the process of getting that great idea to come to life.

It is getting progressively easier and quicker for people to do this though and I admire the affordable creative accessibility that young people have today. I finally sound like an old fart when I start talking about cassette tapes, letters, makeshift movie theatres, fanzines etc etc. In the 80's and even early, early 90's, if I wanted a certain album, I had to trek about 200km to the specialist music store to get it or order it and wait weeks for it to arrive. Now ... wow! It's ridiculous.
