Finite Hours:

I like numbers, they are a foreign language to me but I like their representation rather than interpretation. Sometimes numbers get weird, we make them that way.
A New York minute, a million bucks, gone in sixty seconds. You have 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, for 40 years. You can master any skill in 10000 hours: 10000 Hours is 416 Days and 16 Hours. Human lives generally last for 2 billion to 3 billion seconds; the universe is nearly 14 billion years old. But don't feel sad. Life is too short, vacations aren't as long as you remember and 1999 seemed like only yesterday. But you should feel sad. We spend six hours and 57 minutes per day online; On average that's nearly one third of each day. We spend one third of our lives sleeping, 6 - 8 hours each day, motorists in the city spend 136 hours (5.6 days) in rush hour per year. Office hours run 9 - 14 hours per day. Do some math and that's, on average 6 hours asleep, 6 hours online, 9 hours working, 2 hours sitting in traffic; adjusting for overlap 17 of 24 hours each day is wasted, two thirds of your life is dedicated to essential sleep and completing menial tasks with little to zero enjoyment. That being said here is my generic universal go for a walkabout pack filled with survivable stuff: A back pack, I have a CampMaster camper pack designed for day trips that serves my needs complete with high visibility rain cover, loads of straps and zippers and pockets and ultra comfy padding. A knife, rule #9 states don't go anywhere without a knife. The type of travel suggests the type of knife, sometimes I carry more than one of varying size. A good hack would be to carry a wetting stone should you need to sharpen the blade edge. A notebook of some kind, paper variety, with a pen. A length of rope, name one thing you're going to need you're stupid fucking rope for?
Your wallet, it's not the Apocalypse so keep your piss warm Bear Grylls stans you still need money. A cigarette lighter, it makes you look cool. A flashlight, I use a rechargeable model. This will get you around, and it doesn't matter where you go as long as you go. Explore the world around you without the need for gadgetry or technology to facilitate a virtual experience. I of the old guard fight the millennial age of cancel culture because I believe them, at least in attitude, to be wrong. The minds of the foolish are logged in, DM or chat botting right now. Advancement is a gradual embrace and eventual acceptance. We cannot rush through the immediate, that cancels enjoyment. The reality is nobody can cancel human nature, ever. Intolerance, racism, oppression and regular differences of opinion cannot be canceled. I disagree with religion but none of the gods have been canceled, I disagree with various opinions and practices of the people at Netflix, Facebook and Disney but I haven't started a crusade to cancel any on them. I learned tolerance, a lifelong skill. I voice my opinions that do offend people at times but I defend my opinions too. I have neither a Facebook profile, I did initially but changed my opinion on social media and closed my account. Nor do I have a Netflix or Disney+ account, for the same reason and I exercise no religion. The world still turns and everyone gets to enjoy their own piece of it. Go touch some grass.
