The Long Road

09/01/2003 Archived Entry: "Retard"

It seems like I'm almost always late. It's not like I do it on purpose to be "fashionably late", it just ends up that way. I think part of the reason is because I'm "reality impaired", I think I can meet up with you at 8 but it's probably around 8:30 before I show up; I just give myself too much credit for being able to be somewhere quickly.

Another thing is that I never ever seem to rush to go anywhere. Last Friday, I got up around 8:10; when most people would rush through their shower and grab something to eat on the way to work I sat down had some breakfast, a mug of hot tea, stared out into the backyard for a bit, had another mug of hot tea then took a nice long, drawn out shower. The thing is, I just don't care whether I'm late or not. I move at my pace the rest of the world should too!

Anyways, it's pretty funny that I'm never on-time but it's probably more annoying to others than I think it is. Darryl said that it was my "style" to be late and I'd just like to point out that it's not done on purpose - it just happens.

Check out the poll I just added "for fun".

Sometimes I doubt you have a concept of time...your tardyness at times is beyond belief (3 hrs!!!)...although this summer you've been doing alot better...being only a half hour late or so...:P

Man, I don't remember this 3 hr incident at all. Though last night I was almost 2 hrs late to Richard's. Not really "late" though, I only said that i'd "probably be there around 8".

At least you don't work on Indian Time like my mom's boyfriend.

Indian Time = Whenever the hell he wants.

Quite a few times we've been left wondering for days where he got to...

I know i'm late in writing on your blog once again, sorry about that. :P

i answered More often than not on your poll, though i have to admit that there were many times when you were there on time for lunch - probably because of Shawn's good influence!!
