the dichotomy of passing time

Ya know, I've been playing with a post idea for a couple weeks now and I just haven't taken the time to finalize my thoughts on it. I've given up hope on getting something formal completed any time soon so here's the basic idea.

I've really started to recognize my inconsistent desires concerning the passing of time. While this dichotomy is frustrating, I'm assuming that I'm not alone in this and that everyone recognizes it in some capacity.

On one hand, I look forward all week to payday and a free weekend (mostly so I can watch college football on Saturdays). I also look ahead to things like Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major or minor events that break up the tedium of daily life. (This includes looking ahead to purchases as well.)

On the other hand, I feel like I'm aging far faster than my accomplishments are accumulating and I wish time would slow down and let me get something done in my life.

The only comment I have on that right now...since I am currently running out of time...is that I would love it if I had a job that afforded me weekends off. Don't get me wrong, I chose to be an event planner, so that rocks. But, oh, to look forward to a whole weekend off! Dare to dream at this point in my life.

Time does pass quickly, true true. But, hell, if you're enjoying the ride, I assume the rest will come in time. Things like babies, houses, and big money. I know I'll have them all one sweet day :)
