time
fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
waiting for someone or something to show you the way
tired of lying in the sunshine
staying home to watch the rain
but you are young and life is long
and there is time to kill today
ten years have got behind you
no one told you when to run
you missed the starting gun
and you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
shorter of breath and one day closer to death
every year is getting shorter
never seem to find the time
plans that either come to nought
or half a page of scribbled lines
the time is gone
thought i'd something more to say"

and again
today was a good day. i drove at 100km/h for the first time, and my dad gave me two kodak box brownies dating back to 1929 and 1946 respectively. i also made this video last night because i was really bored. i watched fight club and now this is my favourite haiku:
worker bees can leave
even drones can fly away
the queen is their slave

disorder
shyness is considered to be a neutral personality trait by people who are not shy, but a very negative trait by those who are shy themselves. in fact, those who are shy are actually perceived more negatively because of the way they act towards others. shy individuals are often distant during conversations, which may cause others to create poor impressions of them, simply adding to their shyness in social situations ... to an unsympathetic observer, a shy individual may be mistaken as cold, distant, arrogant or aloof, which can be frustrating for the shy individual."
