I grew up wearing watches, gave them up when I became a beatnik. Haven't worn one since.
But now I have a timepiece on the computer in my pocket or purse...

Why do people even wear watches now, you have a smart phone you're looking at every 5 minutes.
Fashion I guess.

Fashion I guess. why do people buy lil action figures and trinkets from video games/anime and dedicate shelves to them? iunno, but i wont begrudge them. watches can be an investment, and an heirloom. they have style and are actually things made out of a tremendous effort and level of craftsmanship lost in the world. i mean, yeah fashion. My brother buys them for fashion. My dad has one he uses for semi-practical purposes. He wears the watch upside down so it looks like he's wearing platinum band, then he folds his hands when talking to people so he can glance down to check the time while he's pretending to be interested in their conversation.

It was probably around that time that I got my first cell phone. i used to have the most lovely gun metal pocket watch. i would sit clicking it open and snapping it closed over and over. was my focus point when evenings got crazy.

RadialArcana said: » When "warriors" from the internet meet in real life. Who knows whats the thinking going on on those dogs. Maybe when the gate is closed, then the idea of property becomes explicit then one dog sees the other as an potential invader. Then, when gate is open, that idea vanishes and arises the idea of common place, or group. *bongo tapping increases*

I want to wear a watch again, keep breaking the bands.
I don't understand but fully respect the "ara ara" fad. been farming this *** beadeax coffer for so long i forgot the taste of bread, the sound of trees, the softness of the wind.
