Money Time!!!

Isn't it weird that clocks count up and not down? You know, like a timer counting down to your final moment of life? That'd get you out of bed in the morning.

"Wanna go watch Sex and the City 4; Life's a Manhattan?"

I don't think I've got time for that.

"What is the time?"

A quarter to dead. I really should go.

We've decided not to focus our lives on time, the most limited resource we have, but MONEY. Everything we do is dictated by money. Everything, every day. You buy your alarm clock. You have to pay for the hot water. You bought your breakfast cereal and paid for a travel card for the bus. You work to get money, where you purchase your lunch, and get in some over-time for some extra dough. You come home to your rented house, watch a DVD you've hired, then eat some food you've splashed out on before lying down in the bed you bought and thinking about how you're going to get ahead.

This isn't the way it should be.

Money shouldn't be the centre of our universe, our Time should be. And that's why I think we need to use Time as a currency. Lets attach a value to the minute, make it a global currency and let equality be rolled out to the masses.

"I worked for 90 minutes."

"Well done John Terry. Here's £90 for you. And Ng, you did 100 hours stitching Nike's this week, you get £100."

I work 20 minutes a night, I'd probably take a hit for global equality. If the money was good.

Cocky f*ckers, those homos.

We are an arrogant bunch, aren't we. Mankind. there's not really anything else that shares our cockiness. Animals aren't arrogant. You might get a pigeon that waits til your really close until it flies away, but is that really arrogance? Sure, hypothetically we could eat it. We are Man. We eat what we want. But that's not exactly the height of conceit. The height of conceit, that would be going to the ocean dressed like a seal and floating around thinking that "No shark would eat me!" Surfers are far more arrogant than a pigeon will ever be. Until I see a pigeon dressed like a hamburger, then they'll be catching up.

But aren't we right to be arrogant? We're Homo sapiens. Two Hundred thousand years and we're still number one. But it's gotta be more than that.

How else can we justify our self belief?

Not enough death or disaster. If we were to all be properly rattled, like a meteorite hittiing the Earth, that might put us in our place. But science'd explain it away as a natural disaster and we'd continue upon our priveliged way. I think science has alot to answer for in that respect. Cos a few hundred years ago, earthquakes, blizzards, hurricanes. That was Gods Wrath. That couldn't be explained away by science. That was the big guy upstairs ensuring we paid penance for our sins with a bout of heavy precipitation. But then science came along, with its reason and rational, and put nature in its place. Once we could explain it, we were one step closer to controlling it. Our personal stocks were boosted. Gods dipped significantly. Now, in this increasingly godless age, we have not only forgotten our place, we've forgotten it ever existed. But pretty soon we'll remember. Cos if this conceit continues, we'll never do anything about this "climate change bullshit." And the it'll be too late. We'll all be doomed, and we'll remember our place. It's down there with the worms.
