Before you get anal, this is not a place for me to post profound products of pondering during personal poop-time. Granted, there is a great chance that this may include the aforementioned, but that only makes it better. You'll see.

It has recently come to my attention that nothing can wait in the world anymore. Phone calls interrupt everything. Multi-tasking has become so popular that crazy chore combinations are being praised for increasing productivity, no matter the level danger involved. Runners take musical accompaniment to get their minds off of things, but can they hear a siren or a honking horn? Shaving and checking split ends while driving was just the beginning - now its facebooking and mapquesting.
It may just be my perception, but within the last quarter-century the definition of killing time has evolved enough to warrant a name change. Instead of wandering aimlessly during a forced waiting period we are making sure that the next item from the list can be marked as complete. If the list was forgotten, or does not exist, then list fabrication begins (or we just pull our phone out and either stalk our "friends" or tell the world about how boring we are).
The metaphoric bottom line is that there is an abundance of clicking going on in bathroom stalls. It is not the nun wandering the halls warning the misbehaved like a snake with its rattle. It is the newly developed addiction of connection. Majoratively speaking, none of us take time out of our day just to think any more. I say we stop and take a breath.

Lets schedule some think time. It can be any time, and in any place. Music is awesome, but why not turn off the radio during the next solo auto commute. We will not only give ourselves time to think, but we will also hear sounds that are not available with radio tunage.
This blog is a place to display the product of scheduled thinkage. It may not be worth your time, and If so, I'm not offended.
If you've read this, then consider it a healthy dose of thought fiber to encourage smooth thinking.
