Where has all the time gone?

I swear there is never enough time in a day to accomplish everything that needs to be done! I remember when I was younger that an hour would feel like eternity and days lasted so long that I never had enough things to fill them up with. Now when I get up I go through my mental to do list and have just realized another day is already gone. Disappearing day's turn into disappearing months and pretty soon another year has gone by.

The sad part is that all the older experienced people I speak to about this say it only gets worse as you get older! Oh joy I think to myself. Now the pressures I have of getting my to do's and my want to's has been increased ten fold. When I look at the situation I guess I have two options. I can let the overwhelming burden of time dictate my motivation to get things done or I can relax knowing if it gets done it gets done, there's always tomorrow!

Advertising usually doesn't phase me

Advertising is everywhere I look! It seems that no matter where I go there is something being advertised to my face even if I don't want it. I am so used to the advertising that is doesn't phase me anymore. As I walk through places like the airport or the mall it's like I look right through the advertising and continue on with the purpose of why I went there. I feel kinda bad about this after watching the film because I now have seen how much time and effort people put into marketing and advertising their products. I guess if their efforts work in shaping the opinions of the majority then it is a success, but for myself it usually doesn't make a difference.
