12:00 EASTERN TIME zone: Listening to a soccer game being played through a Sony television tube set from the living room. A Felix (although all metal and not exactly a cat at all, but one with that of a long tale) counting up the minutes. Tick tock tick tock. Back and forth goes the tale of the cat clashing with the ceiling fans' rotation. Humbly they get along. Learning to jive as one. Breathing with the rest of the house. Getting up, moving into the kitchen, grabbing an apple purchased at a Hy-Vee a few hours earlier and cutting it in half with a butter knife. Just sharp enough to be used to pare with, but dull enough to scoop the last bit of Adam's peanut butter from a huge mason jar. Bella, the dog, begged for some scraps. To Bella's disapproval, her needs and wants to satisfy those doggie mouth, watery taste buds were not met. I crunched hard at the apple almost obnoxious in fact, not taking into account my actions but more concerned with consuming what Bella still had her eyes glued upon. Cleaned up the small mess, retreated back to the guest bedroom for the night, passed by Cheeto, Khiew's husband, lounging after a long day of cooking in a Chinese food restaurant. "AHOLA!", he said. I grinned exposing the lost of bone gap from an 9th anterior, replying, "Hello", back. 12:00 CENTRAL TIME zone: "Sigh" at the stroke of midnight from the Gaslight Anthem's song Here's Looking at You Kid from The '59 Sound. ...With a consolation sigh"... followed into Tessie by the Dropkick Murphys. 12:00 MOUNTAIN TIME zone: "Southern Π accents" at the stroke of midnight from the Gaslight Anthem's High Lonesome of the album The '59 Sound. ..."There were Southern accents"... bleeding into John Mellencamp's Small Town. 12:00 PACIFIC TIME zone: Rise Aganist's song Voices off Camera from the record Revolutons per Minute ... very end of the lyric "Close my eyes" and silence. The clock turned 12:00. Then with Aganist Me!'s Cavalier Eternal from As the Eternal Cowboy played happily, but all the while knowing how sad the song really is. The purpose of this TIMELINE experiment is yet to be determined. CIAO! Too turning 28!
