“Time is weird. Everyone talks about time using the “hill” metaphor; first you go up, then you peak, then it’s downhill. The uphill part is slow, and the downhill part is fast. Even though time is one of the most boringly consistent things we could ever encounter it somehow seems so elastic, so fast and slow based on how we fill it.”

I just posted part two of my 2011 retrospective at Serious is Easy. Thanks for reading.

“Last month I turned 27 years old. To me this seems both unfathomably old and unreasonably young at the same time; this paradox grows out of the fact that while I still struggle with the transitional insecurities of youth, I’m getting a little bit bald in the back, and am constantly confronted with questions of real consequences and value. This year has been the strangest in my life so far. Secretly, (or perhaps not so secretly) I’d be happy if it remained so for the rest of it.”

I’ve been working on compiling a few of my thoughts about this last year, and what it has meant to me to become a father. I Just posted part 1 over at my personal blog, Serious is Easy. Hopefully I’ll have the second half complete within the next 3-4 days. Everyone have a Merry Christmas!
