Do you ever feel like you're living some part of your life that's already passed? That you're suddenly able not only to stop what you're doing, but to stop that as well, stop the stopping that is.

Your ex-lover becomes your best friend. She calls: would you like a chocolate croissant or a cinnamon roll? Either or, you say. Or you say, whatever you'd like, or, why not get one of each, that way we can share.

The use of the word 'love' is problematic once again, as it should be. The word 'love' is something that should be given great thought before it is uttered, before the word has too many meanings to mean anything. Love is a thing only a child understands.

Speed is the great problem, but if you think it's bad now just wait for the future. Delivery systems are the rage, as epitomized by drones. We can look at and think about great art all we want, but where will this get us?
