AS THE CLOCK SLOWLY TICKS FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE

It's impossible to prevent the clock from ticking forward into the future.  It simply can't be done.  And if the Gentle Reader isn't ready for the arrival of the future, then the Gentle Reader will be found unprepared.  Time has a habit of being merciless in that manner.  And so I look at the clock as seconds turn into minutes which turn into hours.  Hours turn into days.  Days turn into weeks.  Weeks turn into months.  Months turn into years.  Years turn into decades.  Time can pass the Gentle Reader by quicker than expected.  It's always a good idea to have a plan for the future.  Just saying something will happen in the future, but not making any action to make such a plan a reality isn't good enough.  You need to have a plan for the future and actually set such a plan into action.  It's really the only way to properly plan for the future.  Because the future is only a few seconds away.
And as I'm lost in thought as afternoon slowly drifts into the evening hours, here are some photos Lindsay Lohan.
