Dreams, Waking Thoughts and Incidents

I am looking to adopt an alternative calendar system for personal use. I know it sounds strange, but I'd like it to be non-solar, non-lunar and non-lunisolar. I don't care for Unix or MUMPS time, or the Mayan or Aztec ones. It seems like I may have to make one up.

"Is connecting with a song a substitute for connecting directly with another person? Maybe inauthentic music--pop ephemera--affirms our disconnect from the reality of our lives. In the absence of real connection, it comforts us; it acknowledges the presence of loneliness, and embraces us. The fakeness of the music becomes perversely reassuring, a pillow of safety. We are fakers, too. What we present to the world is, by necessity, fake--sometimes by design, and sometimes simply because we can't possible communicate all that goes on in our hearts and minds. We are alone, as much as we pretend not to be. The singer who relays that message, whether by accident or intention, becomes our ally." [1]

Exactly!

"If Jesus had an ego, he'd still be alive today!"
