Time Travelin' (A Tribute to Life)

"It's really on time, it's beautiful, it's really great." - Hepcat, Right On Time (Right On Time) There are 78 songs in my itunes library that feature "time" in the Song Name. The shortest is 40 seconds (Hepcat's Right on Time). The longest is 12 minutes and eleven seconds (E. Badu's Next Lifetime off the Live album...although that might feature a bonus track). I'm enthralled with The Time Traveler's Wife. I fell asleep last night reading. I woke up this morning reading. There are one hundred pages between Clare and Henry's first and second dates and yet the story of their love grows with every word. It's not the right time for my stomach to be acting this way. I think I need some roughage in my diet. The queasiness really needs to be gone. Now what am I supposed to do when I want you in this world...hold up, I'm not ready to do that yet. - E.Badu True. It's not time for that, either, yet. While Aaron's emotions are raging flames right now mine are just glowing embers. I could maybe roast marshmallows on the flames but there's no time for a burning ring o' fire. The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold, when it's springtime in Alaska it's 40 below - Johnny Cash I'm having two Thanks For Givings tomorrow. What about you? I figure enough time has passed in my life where I can do Thanksgiving the way I want to. The day with my family, the night with some friends. And my belly with all the food and drink I can manage. And then on Monday, it's time for World AIDS Day. "I'll be damned if this short life ain't heavenly, peace and harmony, family, seasons...and it goes, and we go round and round, life is just a moment in time." - The Pharcyde Coach, as in the only basketball coach that matters, says, "The only day that matters is today." And yeah, this year, today, I'm thankful for time.
