I won't watch war movies, either. Nor horror.

No car crashes, explosions, action movies are totally out.

Life's too short.

I mean, literally. It just vanishes? But we maintain some memories. When we go to sleep, it seems like we wake up the next minute, when it's actually been hours. Where does that time go?

The earth does the same thing every day, every season, every year. The holidays fall in line the same way. It's so repetitive!

Four minutes have passed since I started this post. Where are they?
