A Review of Time

This is on time (literally). Even the sun can tell time (I don't know what they talk about but I'm sure it's important). Time to start reviewing it:

Things I like: I love sports, and in most sports it’s very important. In most team sports it’s counting down (who knew time was capable of counting, do you think I could teach it to read)? And for runners and bikers (and other races) it’s counting up.

Time and I have a lot in common, for one, we both like to travel. Its preferences are a bit more complicated and high maintenance than mine though. I like a quick weekend trip to the beach, we don’t have to go back to 1974. And I usually only require a car or plane, but time always has to do it up big with some radioactive new age machine (show off). I guess no one told time that travel is supposed to be relaxing.

We both also write reviews. But the ones Time publishes are usually more serious and about movies and books. Plus, famous people get to be on the cover of it, and my face is the only thing that can be on the cover of me.

Things I would change: Another thing we have in common is that we are both very popular. People love mentioning it in their daily routines and phrases (just like they do me). There are a lot of sayings it’s a part of: “Time is of the essence”, “time is on your side”, and “time to stop smoking dope and move out of this cardboard box”. I am not a part of any saying yet, but give it a few years.

I’m also a little worried about how obsessed people are with time. People are so concerned that they commonly strap something to their bodies in order to always be aware of what it is doing (a watch, if you aren’t catching on). We hang stuff on our walls, in our cars, and next to our beds so we can always watch it. If time had a twitter, we’d all be followers.

Lastly, time changes too often. It really needs to gain some self confidence and stop getting wasted.

What it makes me think/feel: I’ve got way too much of it. I guess that’s called free time. But last time I checked time of the free variety was the most expensive of all.
