The little things are sometimes the spookiest

Fri Apr 22, 2005 12:07 am

I was just pondering as I usually do at night and was thinking about time. And I thought about today, April 21st, 2005. That day is actually over now, for me anyway. It will never ever come again, it's gone. Time is kind of scary, isn't it? Especially when you think about it in depth. The thing that gets me though is how we take it for granted. Most of the time we just look at out watches, plan out our whole day with time, yet people don't think about time like I do.

Anyway, what about other little spooky things that people take for granted? Post here.

I don't have any others.

I do agree with what you're saying though. All we really have is memories.

Probabally the fact that we have power *shudders at thought of hurricanes*

"April 21st, 2005, pack up and say your goodbyes. Your life is up, the 24 hours are up, it's time for you to leave. Forever. Never to come back again. What will people remember of you? Will they have treasured the events that occurred in you? Or will you just fade into the dusty pages of history, forgotten forever?"

I've often thought about that before (particularly since the last few years have been feeling like they've been going really fast) and I keep getting shocked at how ready I am to waste time doing nothing, procrastinating and just generally hoping the day would get over with so that a day I am looking forward to is even closer. Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm rather disappointed in myself. There is a quote by someone (the Dahlai Lama?) that says something about ensuring you get something out of every single day, I wish I could find the exact quote again...

Once in a while, I get in my "Oh my God I could die at any moment" moods. Those are creepy.

I hate those. I might be doing something totally off the subject of death, and I think, "I wonder when I'll die. I could die right now." It's scary.

I was like that all last year. I watched those Final Destination movies.

For me, it's mostly thinking about how pointless the world is, and how nothing we do will really make a difference, and how in a few billion years the sun will explode and the entire human race will die, if they haven't already. Then I tell my brain to shut up, because I hate philisophical stuff like that. :P

I sometimes get into those weird thoughts and feelings of "Why am I here?", "Why am I a human and not a pidgeon?", etc. It'll keep me confused for quite awhile.

Yep. I am always like that. No matter what. I always wondered when I am going to die and what is my purpose on Earth.

Same here. Everyone gets those, probably because dying, especially young, happens so very often and those people don't realise it's going to be their last day alive. Sometimes I see a clock in my head, ticking down and I see it as my life ticking away. Sometimes it counts down from 30 and when it hits 0 I brace myself for my death but nothing happens. I'm very morbid but it's just me.

I got one of those the other days. I was like, "If there is an equal chance of everything and what I will become, why a human? Why a girl? Why do I live in New Jersey?" It's really weird. Sometimes I get this crazy feeling that I'm not really here, that I'm floating above myself watching from somewhere. And I feel like I need to back to that somewhere...I can't explain it, but it's the weirdest feeling ever. O___O

Sometimes I get the feeling that this whole world isn't real, that everything is a dream and I will wake up soon. And sometimes I feel that the world is but a huge stage and everyone is acting. And when something bad happens I think to myself "Cheer up, it's not real, we're just acting." And then it hits me. We ARE real and these emotions and feelings are real.

Yeah, I get that too sometimes. Often at nights I just lay in my bed, pop in a CD and think random thoughts. The next morning I wake up and say to myself, "What on earth was I thinking?"

I once had this huge theory that we were all just Sims and someone out there was playing with us on their computer, laughing at us.
I hope I'm a Sim. Being a computer graphic sounds fun.
