Time

Time is a funny concept. Each second of you life is one you'll never get back, that you can never do over. In a car accident, the drivers often remember each individual moment of the impact, thus time is literally crawling by in freeze frames. To contrast, people of all ages have said or will say that "It feels like just yesterday I was..."

If you could be immortal, would you? Is it worth it to live forever, or is it better to die when your time has come? When all of the people who have made a profound impact on your life die, would you want to stick around? Religious ponderings I suppose, but sticky and interesting if you don't have a stone cold idea of what happens after death. Logically there is no God, science explains everything. For thousands of years people have worshiped a higher being without seeing evidence. It's faith-based, hope-based and makes absolutely no sense to scientific principles.

So if you can't prove hope, how does it exist? One might explain hope as a survival mechanism, but faith is an even larger stretch. Is death God's way of calling you home, of it simply being your time? Or is it all up to chance and accountability, is death ultimately your fault, and is it a fault at all, just a natural part of life? Is it possible to believe in logic and still leave the door open to afterlife ideas? Is it possible to believe in God or an afterlife and still be an intellectual? The two seems to war against each other.

"When I do good, I feel good.

When I do bad, I feel bad.

That is my religion."

Sun Sneeze

"Why do people sneeze or feel like sneezing when they look into the sun?"

It's one of those questions that you might muse over for a moment or two, but never get an answer for. Useless information, right? But then again, isn't that the same thing as trivia? And don't people love trivia? 

This afternoon I was sitting with my dog bumbling about Facebook, when little Cosmo here opened up his chops and nearly split his head in half with a giant yawn. It looked so satisfying, I had to try it too.

Side Note: I have a habit of googling anything that pops into my head when I'm using my laptop, so I asked my good friend, "Why is yawning contagious?" 

Yawning led to sneezing, and I was just a big mess from all the involuntary actions.  Google gave me this page:

I hope I helped you solve one of life's unsolved mysteries!

I got yer bobcats right here, buddy!!

DISCLAIMER: I do not have any bobcats for sale, nor have I ever owned one. 

Welcome to Bobcats For Sale, the blog with a rhyme and reason, both of which declined comment for this article. The way I think is a peculiar one, kind of like when you spit out your toothpaste: it spatters all over the sink, but eventually all meets at the same spot. This said, you can be assured I will write about an assortment of topics on this blog, perhaps bursting with opinions and bias, but always aiming to entertain. 

Voila! Enjoy!
