Like the Sands Through the Hourglass…

So I’ve been procrastinating (who me?) moving all of my important documents and pictures off my current PC and onto another one that I had previously used for the radioshow.  But being the procrastinator I am I have been putting it off for sometime, simply because I know how long it takes to transfers 100GB of information across a network.  I finally gave in today and started the process and I realized a couple of things in the process.

First and foremost, time is indeed a constant and it waits for no man.  While it seems like just yesterday I was doing a radio show over the internet from a make shift porn studio, it has actually been 2 years since our last broadcast.  Where the hell did that time go?  Was I asleep?  Did all of that drinking alter my sense of time and space?  Perhaps I could write a thesis based on the idea that drinking can allow you to time travel.  Hrm, perhaps another day (procrastinate?  Me? Nah.).  For now I will simply focus on the fact that I am A) middle-aged and B) have already started my mid-life crisis by buying this monster…
mid-life I know…it’s awesome isn’t it?  But the awesomeness of my penis extension will just have to wait for another time, I’m in the middle of a diatribe about time which I’m anxious to continue.

The second thing I have realized is that a mid-level PC built two years ago has in-fact aged about a century in computer years, meaning although it is “new” to the career of being my primary desktop computer, it is certainly not a rocket by today’s standards.  I’m finding myself a bit disappointed in it’s overall capabilities and the fact I let it’s days of awesomeness pass in silent solitude for the most part, gathering dust in my den closet.  Such a waste really.

But, that is time I guess.  It seems to go faster the older I get and I’m not really cool with that.  Pretty soon I will be cresting the age of 40 and discovering I’m not that far away from re-entering a phase of my life where I require diapers and someone to feed me.  Sure, that is a bit of a stretch, but it certainly illustrates how I’m feeling and how this poor PC I’m dumping years worth of stuff onto is probably feeling.
