time is on my side

yes, I dig the stones, but despite hearing a great interview yesterday on NPR with a guy who wrote a new bio of Mick, they are not my subject.

In the meeting Monday night, someone put this really well, and I cannot quote them, but here is my take:

We brain injury survivors  have a different relationship with time.  It is like living in slow-motion.  Everything takes much longer to do than for "normal" people. If others do not adjust to our pace, we are left behind.  That's the only real choice.  My walk is just moving from pose to pose, like yoga.
More on this coming up.

Interesting talk on human/time relationship. 

Go to around 00:11:00 for a taste if you don't have time for the whole thing.

I will be posting some youtube videos on my view of time:

Here's the first one:

  1. I forgot that I posted this on another blog last year, and it is more relevant here:
    time scale disorder
    that is how I would describe my condition. Don't get me started on the whole
    "time is a 2D plane, not a 1D linear unidirectional vector, stated as (+x, if bigBang=0,0,0)". I will save that for later.

    I have time management issues, I know, I have my whole life. But a bigger problem than that socially is what I call "time scale disorder". I am good with anything less than a minute. I can count off seconds like clockwork. I am a trove of time and clock trivia. I am one of the few people who can explain 24fps vs 30fps and fields vs. frames in a way anyone can understand. Life as an animator. But above 5 minutes and I'm lost. Actually I am pretty good until like ten then it's anybody's guess. At WPU we took this diversity class and discussed cultural conceptions of time. I am more like native peoples.
