Mood:  sharp

the Smithsonian has an article about the leap second that will be put into place at the end of the year. for the technical details please read the article and/or these, link1 link2. simply, we are going to gain one second. it is nice to have just one more second. you can use that time to party, reflect, or sleep.

 time has always been of interest to me. i seem to be obsessed with it or avoiding it (which is a form of obsession). i feel like time does not truely exist outside the realm of human thought. time is an idea we use to describe the difference between actions. time is just a human perception. i wonder if there are other ways of organizing information and actions? in Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut the Tralfamadorians view all time at once. how do you reference actions if they are all preceived as happening at once? i think that there is no way for me to conseptualize it since all i have ever known is a sequential passage of time. 

 it is now "time" for lunch so i will stop my ramblings, for now.
