the other night I was on a date with a certain fellow, and all was going swimmingly. I ASKED HIM WHAT TIME IT WAS because I had promised a friend I would phone them, and he noticed that my wrist was BARE. he inquired where my watch was, and I replied that I do not make it a HABIT to WEAR them. from this point, the date went DOWNHILL. said fellow got majorly on my CASE for not wearing a TIME-KEEPING DEVICE. he asked me how I ever know what time it is, and I told him if I need to I will ASK someone next to me, or TAKE MY CELL PHONE out of my purse. ASKING PEOPLE THE TIME IS A VERY SOCIAL ACTIVITY IMO. he rolled his eyes and said WHAT A WASTE OF TIME! I thought to myself maybe you're the waste of time!
I ASK ALL YOU READERS OF THE RSBFART COMMUNITY, IS IT FAIR TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST SOMEONE FOR NOT WEARING A TIME-KEEPING DEVICE? I know there are flashy folks out there who have made it a LIFE GOAL to someday own a luxury watch that rhymes with BOLEX. but when I notice all the people on the street who check their watch NERVOUSLY because they can't look STRAIGHT at you while walking towards you, I am assured that I made the right choice.

a RANDOMIZED time-pease might be a good compromise. but how one approaches time is a crucial aspect to LIFE - &&& U can't tell 1 how 2 live!

I should hope I have enough METAL ELEMENT in my shoes to fulfill the quota, since those ALWAYS seem to make the metal detector beep at airports. I also can be found connected to my iPOD when walking or riding the SUBWAYS.
