Well, I got late to church this morning. My dad calls me, right when church starts, asking me if I remember it's day light savings time. Great dad, thank's for the timely reminder.
The funny thing is that I saw loads of people yesterday, and NOBODY reminded me about it. I never quite understood why we need it. There are countries out there where they don't even know what we're talking about.
Life in general has become ever more controlled by this human invention called time. I hate it. Mainly because I hate being late, and I hate that all the good shows on tv are on that late. Cause then you stay up late, but you don't get to compensate in the morning, so you're tired all the time.
In short, I think that here in the West we put WAY to much pressure on ourselves. Everything HAS to fit into a certain schedule, or the world as we know it will come to a halt. The thing is that we've gotten accustomed to the benifits of it, but often choose to ignore the effect it is having on our health. Today there are so many stress-related issues. Makes me want to migrate somewhere and keep sheep or something. A farming job, where you live by nature's rythm.
Which reminds me of a different point. Radiation and waves. In our world today, there are so many things floating in the air. You know, transmissions of all kinds. Even the keyboard you're using is making you subject to radiation. Everything that uses electricity.
I'd love to take a technology free vacation. On an island somewhere. The only thing there would be a satelite phone that only gets turned on in case of an emergency. Sure there can be technology, but nothing that uses electricity. I think I'd feel so much healthier.

Good thing Finland has made the jump to digital TV and you can easily record programs on HDD.
And you shouldn't worry about radiation. It's completely normal and there would be all sorts of radiations even without any electronics. For example we are all the time affected by radioactive radiation.
