What is currently on your mind?

[Paidiske]

Look, let's be real here. If we were going to mess with conventions about time, I would like a standard working day that started not before 11am. I'm quite happy to work into the evening, but I am not one of God's morning people!

 

[Robban]

Eh.. I think playing God and changing the time is fun.. and gives mankind a needed self esteem boost in false confidence.

Well, timezones are one thing, America has a time difference from Europe with about,

I'm not too sure, 5-7 hours?

Which is what I was thinking when I said "It has something to do with geography."


But changing clocks?

What if we only had sundials.

In any case a "Biblical" hour (Halachic) depends on where one finds oneself.

It is the period between sunrise and sunset divided by twelve.


Nighttime into watches as in,

"A thousand years in Your eyes are as a watch in the night."

Time is a tyrant it waits for no one.

The inconsistency of it changing every day would do my head in.

My language disability has been pretty horrible lately.

It goes up and down. Sometimes words and sentence structure almost come easy to me.. other times.. I feel like it's a jumbled mess.

 

[Paidiske]

Is it related to things like how tired you are?

Maybe.. a combination of that, depression and stress.

 

[Paidiske]

All of which are interconnected and difficult to solve.

"Time waits for no one"

Dunno.

Have at the moment 3 wristwatches, have been given to me.

Yesterday evening one had sfopped, today I woke up and the one on my arm said quarter past one.

Looking at the third I saw it was eight o clock.

They are ticking now.

Are they trying to tell me something?

This week has been very bad psychologically.. started by a strange reason... was just listening to a podcast talking about the Junko Furuta case.. and it ended up stirring a lot of deep seated emotions within me.

Hugs.

Thanks.

I was almost unable to function at work last Friday. Given this is a new job I'm somewhat embarrassed by it.. and hopefully can hide my grief this week if it still persists.

At least in more happy news.. I've lost some weight this week.. despite not really cutting down on the calories.. seems like going back on the vitamins helped.

What happened? Where you work?
Im sure you feel better soon.
Vitamins are really important because they affect in so many levels in our general wellbeing. For example B12 and iron deficiency can cause depression and anxiety and many other problems. So it’s good to take care of vitamin levels.
Well done for losing weight!

Nothing actually happened at work. I was just extremely depressed and withdrawn. I do feel a few people there suspected that somewhat was wrong. While not the end of the world, with this job still being new for me I want to seem on my mental best, lol.

Interesting. Personally I find vitamins mainly just make me yearn for more sleep and raise my metabolism. I have decided to start cutting down on my caffeine consumption. These last few weeks I have been consuming an unusual amount of caffeine. I am starting to suspect this might be somewhat responsible for why I have been feeling so on edge and overly emotional lately.

I've somewhat gotten over the Junko tragedy. Still hurts to think about what happened to her but the repetition of the thoughts is making the emotions more and more dull as the days go on by. Which somewhat makes me feel guilty. I get to eventually go on with my life and she'll still be gone.

Some might find it ridiculous that learning about this story bothered me so much, but sometimes things can really trigger someone. I've actually been aware of her for years now but never wanted to know the details. Sadly I just happened to listen to a podcast that mentioned her. I really enjoy the hosts on the podcasts and thought maybe I could handle it but I was pretty wrong.

The podcast wasn't even specifically about her. Although the podcast topic of the week was the Yakuza Japanese gang who were somewhat responsible for her horrible ordeal. I do feel that I shouldn't be mentioning her name in case someone else falls into a huge depression after learning about it, but I figured that this event did happen and her memory doesn't need to be erased. That given my reaction, people here are adults and can make their own informed decision whether not they want to know about it. I also doubt most people will take the story as hard as I did.

Put it this way, that is highly unlikely to be the most disturbing thing posted on CF today.

Yea I know what you mean, I should be more mindful aswell what I say sometimes. Some topics can be frightening for some people but usually those things are in specific section of this forum so people who read those section basically knows already.

This song came up on my "my mix" list on you tube.

It knocked me flying, it hurt to hear it strange as it may seem.

It took me back to...... I don't know where, don't know where I have heard it before, yet is so very famiiiar

 

[Robban]

No,I give up, I cannot place either the song or his voice anywhere in my memory lane.

Nice song though.

 

[timothyu]

Linda Ronstadt pops into my head because part of the song resembles one of hers.

I thought I knew the song before I played it,

but something extraordinary happened, from the very first words, the sound of his voice touched me so deeply.

It sounded so familiar but I could not place it.

It touched me so deeply I have never experienced anything like it before.

I was not more than two years when I was seperated from

parents and family, (war) maybe something from that time.

It was just strange that's all.

A one off.

No need to apologize, you didn't say anything wrong. : )

I do not really find the Junko case frightening, more disheartening due to the sheer brutality of her ordeal. I can handle some gruesome murder cases, but when you start talking about straight up torture. Especially someone being tortured for over 40 days.. it really weighs heavily on my heart.
