Picture it, My Car, earlier this morning, and by earlier I mean about one hour ago. I was driving to work, listening to some talk radio, sippin' on my coffee. My forty, or sometimes fifty-minute commute to work is usually my most creative period of my day. Sometimes I daydream, other times I problem solve (i.e. day dream) Today, I had this fantastic theory. It made sense in all the different lifestyles that we see everyday, far across this land. I had this sense of urgency to write it down, because I was sure this thought, these feelings I was having were sure to make a difference in at least one person's life, even if it was my own. Groundbreaking, a lot like the HBO original programming, only more realistic.

Four and one half minutes passed, and that thought. The amazing theory I had realized and made my own. My life altering idea, gone in the blink of......well it was gone quickly.

Nearly one hour later, and here I sit. Typing about this amazing idea, this groundbreaking thought. No more than sixty minutes, and I basically have no idea what I am even talking about.

I find that as each day passes, two hours, then three, four, five, six and so on hours from my forty or sometimes fifty-minute commute. I sit here, and slowly forget every act, face, thought or idea that I pass that day, until finally I fall asleep atnight to only start the process all over again the next day.

Life is amazing. I sit here, really we all sit here or there, never really sure. Actually very far from sure from how I understand it. Completely unaware of what will happen next.
