Daydreaming

Daydreaming is alright as long as you kept it cool. This is one of my daydreams.
I was looking at a clock and thinking about the twelve digits and twenty-four hours. I always had trouble figuring out the sameness of military time and am pm. It was three am. And I decided to practice time. What is three am in military time, I asked myself. So I thought of twenty-four hours made up of two twelve hour parts, the am and the pm. Then I added the number three and twelve which came to fifteen; so I said to myself that three am is the hour of fifteen hundred in military time. That was the first way I did it.
Then I decided to learn something about myself, a challenge to use my math in order figure something out. Because this way figuring out time was always something that I wanted to learn but was always to busy daydreaming during high school to pay attention when it was being taught. I thought to myself that there is be a better way of translating fifteen hundred into am pm. I found out that all it took was a little algebra. I had to remind myself that I was trying to figure out the translation of military time to am pm, two systems that coexist in our telling of time. Then I came with twenty-four as the body and fifteen as a. The number I’m looking for is x. So I said, twenty-four minus fifteen is nine. Then the algebra came. Nine plus x is twelve, so, x equals three. I did it, I said to myself, yes. I was finally certain that fifteen hundred hours is also three am. It worked the original way and worked the mathematical way.
That was cool. So I realized that there are different ways of doing things, different styles, even for just one person. Then I thought of evolve. If humans, one day, are going to have the ability to fly then surely we will also be able to breathe water.
We already have men that can fly as men. Imagine a man who can fly like a bird and breathe underwater; we would have the greatest sport ever known to man.
