The Twitter Effect

Based on the posts I've made on twitter, I realize that I mainly run my life teleological and stellar time. 6 days of the week, I am either working or going to school or both. It's pretty simple. It actually made me realize that we all need a bit of all 3 types of time (in my opinion). Chaotic time are events that are described as random or not having meaning in life. I disagree with the partial definition of not having meaning in life. I get bored easily (too easily I think at times) and the random events always that happen in my life are usually the ones I often remember the most. Think about it for a second and compare "your" chaotic time and teleological time. Which do you often talk about to your friends, family, peers? I would say it would be more of the chaotic time. Take for example Alex's anecdote in the last class about how he ran into this guy that jumped into the train tracks for a dollar bill. Alex then proceed to tell how he threw a $5 bill into the tracks just to see if he would go into the tracks for a second time to retrieve the bill. I doubt he would choose to tell the class a story of a time on the subway where nothing interesting, a.k.a. when everything went as usual, as apposed to the story of the crazy delusional IDIOT that ran into the tracks for a fraction of what his life his worth in front of an oncoming train. Luckily for that guy, stellar time was on everyone's side that had wanted to go to where they wanted to arrive without any complications on the public transportation system. If it was not on their side, it would probably read something like "IDIOT GETS HIT BY TRAIN ON TRACKS AFTER JUMPING FOR $5 BILL; OWNER OF BILL, COLLEGE STUDENT BY THE NAME OF ALEX, TAKEN IN FOR QUESTIONING. CLAIMS BILL WAS SWEPT FROM HIS HAND BY THE ONCOMING WIND OF THE TRAIN.
