Looky here Mr. Rich!!

Time is a very strange thing. And currently, I don't like how time is running. You see, last week, the release date for the Nintendo Wii was announced. The date? November 19th. Now, you have to understand that while November 19th seems so close, yet is also so far away. The Wii is an AMAZING system. To put it so that Mr. Rich will understand, its like an Apple computer. This system will be the best one to hit the market in about 6 years. When compared to other systems, like the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, the Wii beats them all, in overall package rating. It won't have the best graphics, but the user compatibility it so much easier. The paddle, which looks like a remote control, is all motion sensor, so when playing tennis, instead of pushing a button to hit the ball, you really swing the paddle to hit the ball.

Anyways, enough on that rant, my why question is: Why, when you are looking forward to something, sometime, does time seem to either fly, or slow down? The answer lies all in how you percieve time. Time is very strange, and when thought about is all really just relative. Its like Mr. Clark's clock. It reads: "Realitve time" and then "ish" is after all the numbers. So: 1ish, 2ish, 3ish, etc. But it's true, time is all relative. For example, when November 19th is said, you could look at it in a few ways. First, "Oh, that is soooo far away, its in 62 days!!!" or "Thats only in two months, and when compared to years, is not very long. At least we don't have to wait another year." So basically it's all how you are looking at it. When compared to a year, it eems shorter becuase a year is so long, where as days go by all the time, so it seems longer. As for me, I see it as a long time, and you can tell I'm eagerly awaiting it, becuase I have a countdown, down to the seconds on my computer. How much longer?!? Stupid time!
