There is a bright eyes album where he uses clocks and mirrors in nearly every song as metaphors for different things. I personally hate clocks. Clocks are ridiculous other than as jewelry; even then it’s pretty lame. Every time I look at a clock I get anxious, when this then that. You’re supposed to be blank by blank, why cant I just go by the sun? I wonder if I can turn the clock off on my cell phone so I wont have to look at it every time I answer a call, but then there time is again reminding me that I used up blank minutes of my life and of my allotted speaking time on that last call. I wonder when time became so important? When did someone say well we better put some boundaries here so people will obey better? I supposed I can blame that on Aztecs or whoever invented that calendar that ends on December 21 2012, that’s the ultimate clock…here is the last day of the earth or as far as we can figure anyway. I bet they just figured what the hell we have figured out the calendar for like a thousand years lets just stop…what’s the last day? Dec 21st I bet people will think that’s the last day for the earth.
