The months go by, but it just seems to be getting louder. I don’t know how much longer I can live through it. It has been months, it mocks me and I just want it to shut up. I leave one room to escape it and yet another one is always there to take its place. But why why why! I would have been more open to it, more understanding, if it didn’t have that noise that dreaded tick tock tick tock! It comes from the clocks, all of them.

Time is my greatest fear, and I just continue to let rule over me. I hear it almost every second of everyday it’s running my life. The only time I’m able to sleep now is when my brain forces me to pass out, due to the exhaustion of not sleeping for days.Įvery passing day I live, I am controlled by the sound of the clock. I do not know the exact moment where it started, but all I know is that it will not stop, and it is only getting louder.

Why why why, does it have to be like this, what did I do to deserve this harsh, unbearable noise! It is constant, and has been going on for months. It’s so loud and it makes it difficult to think. I just don’t understand why it has to make that god damn noise. I would really just love to go with the flow and motion of time like everyone else. And if I am allowed to be honest, I wouldn’t mind this immortal idea controlling every second of my life. That’s preposterous thinking if I thought otherwise. For even if you do fight it, you’ll fall behind in your own future because time waits for no one here. Like maybe I want to eat some pizza in the morning, why is it frowned upon? It’s scary, and you can’t fight back or try to rebel in anyway. It tells you when to get out of bed, go to work, time has even set boundaries on when we can and can’t do certain things. Ironic, it seems that one of man’s greatest inventions is now something entirely above us, controlling all of us. It runs everyone’s lives and we can’t do a single thing about it. Whether it is to change the past to remove an embarrassing moment or to perhaps just to make more time for other people, we want to control it, but we can’t control what we’ve created. We all have wanted to control time at some point in our lives. Humans are impatient like that, I suppose. I want it to be another hour, another day, just not the time it is now. That's not to say these Olympics are problem free.Ĭosts continue to rise, although local organizers and the IOC say they are cutting costs - or at least slowing the rise.Īs an example, last month organizers said the cost of the opening and closing ceremonies had risen by 40 percent compared with the forecast in 2013 when Tokyo was awarded the games.Every passing day I notice my eyes drifting to the clock. The new National Stadium, the centerpiece of the games, is to be completed by the by the end of the year at a cost estimated at $1.25 billion. Unlike other recent Olympics, construction projects are largely on schedule. The '64 Tokyo Olympics came up with the pictograms, partly because the games were the first in Asia and held in a country where the language was inaccessible to many international visitors. Some sports will use more than one pictogram when the Olympic open on July 24, 2020. Hiromura designed 50 pictograms for 33 sports. "These are pictograms that look like they are about to start moving." "They are simple but yet dynamic," Hiromura said, explaining his designs to several hundred people. Organizers also toured regions that will host Olympic events, including the area north of Tokyo that was devastated by a 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and resulting damage to nearby nuclear reactors. Japanese athletes posed with the pictograms and their designer, Masaaki Hiromura.
