Tonight, there is a lone star. I've seen it with my own eyes. What does it mean? Where have the rest of the stars gone to? Did it disappear? Disappear with time? Time...right now that is a very fluid concept. Everyday, I would question myself, I would wonder in my prayers-where did all the time go? Then during moments like now, I question myself: Why am I asking this questions?

I can probably answer the last question and should answer the last question first. Memories flooded me when I saw Taipei 101 on TV this morning. I couldn't help it. I don't even know how the floodgate opened but it did. Yes, I am reminiscing about the times I spent in the army. 2 years, which indeed is a long time to many is just too short for me. It's like Einstein's theory of relativity; when you are spending your time with something good and worth it, time just seems to dissipate away into thin air. It's like dropping an ounce of of powdered (something) into 200ml of hydrochloric acid. It just dissolves in a matter of seconds: so fast that you sometimes fail to observe it notice that it ever happens. Everything seems rather natural.

Life. Is it natural? Time. Is it normal? According to theoretical physicist, we all move through this thing called the space-time continuum. Our insatiable thirst for convenience which means that we want everything to be quick. We want everything to be there and then when we get there. Our thirst for convenience is slowly causing our ultimate demise. Nobody realizes it. Everybody denies of this. This thirst of ours is shortening our journey through that space-time continuum. They call it the String theory and that in order to travel to the future, we are taking short-cuts. Long routes or rather normal routes are a passée now. You will deemed a cavemen(or cavewomen) if you ever did take the normal route. Old-school as they would call it.

I do have more to write...but it just isn't quite the time for that yet. Please, pester me to continue with this. I shall write more afterwards. Good Night
