conversation

Smith ran a rolled up bill against a thick line of coke.“Donnie Darko.”

Yeah?

“Time has a direct or inverse relationship with an individual’s mind. It’s a manipulated variable.”

I don’t get it.

“Okay, say one day you go to school. The day is draggin’ and all and it seems like its taking forever. You come home after your long day and run into someone like myself – who didn’t do a damn thing. We exchange formal weather talk; you say your day was slow as hell, I say mine flew by.”

ok…

“Man listen. The point is when you were at school, your mind was constantly occupied. It had something to process every minute, hour, second, whatever… Okay, the only way the world could keep up with your brain was to slow time, see? The only way the world could catch my stagnant mind was to speed time.”

Right. Well what you’re describing is an inverse relationship. What’s going on when my mind is busy and time flies?

” Its all about individual mindset and the world. Sanity and energy. Sometimes a person can’t handle a slow day and busy mind. Sometimes that shit’ll drive a person crazy.”

okay, Sanity- but energy?

“The fuel for time manipulation has to come from somewhere.”

where?

“ Hell if I know. Mother nature, God, the earth, something…”

Well what does that energy have to do with direct relationship?

“ Nature is all about conserving energy. If it takes less energy to speed a day for an individual then nature will say, ‘ Speed that kid’s day up.’ But see if your mindset isn’t up to it – it won’t happen.”

So you’re saying there is a system that determines an equilibrium between a person’s sanity and mindset and nature’s energy- which in turn creates the ability to manipulate time?

“Exactly.”

Well if everyone is traveling – so to speak- at a different rate then how are we even having this conversation?

“ Again, its all about mindset and equilibrium. People don’t want to be alone.”
