Today was a really good day. Everything was real chill. Even the ride home. But it seemed my mood put me into an elevated state of being. Not only was i much, much happier today, but i felt faster than everything else. Let me explain.
In summer school in 8th grade, i read books during math class cos i knew everything already. And i was reading this book with scifi shortstories. There was this one where this inventor makes a potion to make his atoms as well as his consciouness speed up to superhuman speeds. So he told his friend to drop the glass he was holding, and reluctantly the guy did. He was amazed to see that it was hanging in the air. With a second glance, he realized that the glass was falling very slowly. He was moving so fast that the cup seemed to be frozen in the air. They went outside to hear the band play, but it was moving so slowly (and, consequently, the sound of the band) that the music sounded like rattling. He started to run, but he was moving so fast that his pants started to catch on fire. That wasn't too much of a problem because the fire was moving too slowly to do any harm. After a couple minutes, everything gradually got faster and he reentered the normal speed of reality. that might have been a little confusing, im not sure.
So another explanation. One day, my friends in middle school came over and we played starwars podracer for like half an hour. podracers go like 1000 mph so it was a very fast paced game. we were waiting for misha's mom to pick him up so we decided to pop in mario kart while we were waiting. now mario kart may be another racing game, but the gameplay is much, much slower. it was like the gokarts were crawling. thats kinda what happened to me today.
I felt like everything around me was moving at an extremely slow pace. Cars were going at my walking speed. People were mumbling like were about to fall asleep. Even Jin seemed to run at normal-human speeds. It was a life-high. I think it was the Tikka Masalla. I really, really love this. Life.
