  1. I was delayed from reaching you this morning by a rather cumbersome difficulty involving my secretary. I know that before, I have shrugged off problems she has brought to me until I have finished one of my missives to you, but today was rather different.
    –Jack, she said, –I love you.

  2. Don’t delay. It could cost you money. Do what you have to do and do it now. Don’t think. Don’t waffle. Just do. What are you waiting for? Don’t delay.

    Sarah Turner
  3. I had no time. I couldn’t react appropriately, so all I could do was shout. Interestingly, no words came out. Just a belch, held in and probably best suited for three seconds after this morning’s cereal. So I crossed the street.

  4. She couldn’t stop it. She knew she had to be there, had to find some way to help. There just wasn’t enough time. No time to think, to plan. She wasn’t ready for this. Panic started creeping in at the sides. She couldn’t focus. She had to force herself to move. There was no time to delay.

  5. don’t delay in getting over yourself, and I’ll do the same. Who cares if you’re gay? Who cares if you’re fat? Who cares if you’re different? You’re attitude is making you stand out all the more. And remember, nobody likes an asshole. So don’t delay! Get over yourself!

  8. Damndamndamndamn. I didn’t delay my decision and now you know I’m a freak. I’m not female, I’m not straight, I don’t fit into an All American Apple Pie family. I am a guy, don’t care what I look like. I love women in a gay way and men in a gay way…And now you, my favorite person in the world know. And I’m so damn scared of what you’ll have to say.

  10. There was such a delay at the train station today. People irate that they had been waiting in searing heat for more than 45 minuites for the London Huston. Apparently there were leaves on the track! Yeah ok, It’s the middle of summer!!

  12. The plane was delayed for a couple of hours, everyone waiting to go on holiday was getting restless and angry. What had happened – had the plane crashed?
    Then finally the plane came into view – everyone was relived that they would be on their way to sunny Spain!

  13. There must be no delay for delay is the precurser to a wrong turn. If you decide to go a certain way, delay will only confuse you and cause you to stop and wonder. Don’t do that. keep on in the way that you mean to go without delay. In delay is death for the breath delayed is one not taken and caught in the throat.

  14. delay. late. again. delayed. calms things down a little. i’m not late i’m delayed. somehow sounds like a more credible excuse. delayed implies that something else or someone else is the cause that you are late. why am i always late!

  15. My thought process is delayed.
    Your though process was even more delayed when you decided you wanted to stop, because you were afraid you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself.

  16. I am severely delayed in going to bed, since I was up late on the computer. I had the “common sense” to write before sleep.

  17. don’t delay, when I say, get your body on the floor. I hit the door like Ike did tina. Respect me like Aretha, this hotness from my urethra is ether to bimbos. get flows, like pillsbury gets doe.

  18. delay, today,
    why be free
    the delay will just bother me
    who knows what it will cause
    the delay will just put my life on pause
    some day i will find a clause

  19. There was a lot going on around them. Sirens were flashing people were yelling. Service crews were putting the finishing touches on the crowd barriers. It was easy to tell that something dramatic had happened ahead o

  20. cannot be
    cannot stay
    cannot let be what’s left in life
    the third time behind
    and i feel almost empty by
    the one thing left
    in this day
    with what I am left without
    delay

  21. rarely flights are delayed? at least when i fly them. i enjoy flying very much, soaring through the clouds and looking at the tiny ant-like people disappearing as you ascend higher and higher into the atmosphere

  22. Why delay? Time is an ineveitabilty. But you move forward nontetheless. It’s an illusion. If you don’t think you delay, if you don’t act, you delay. Think first, move forward. Plan and execute that is the way to delay. Do not write if you do not know.

  23. Why do people delay things that are inevitable or can possibly reap benefits? It ceases to amaze me how I can just let dishes and stuff pile up in the kitchen or living room but as soon as I decide to have peole over, it’s like a whole production to get the cleaning done in time for the party to begin.

  24. I put off things I hate Idk why I just do it….it reminds me of the vocal effect I use when I record ehh I often don’t fuck it..thats what it is though I just don’t like it…lol

  25. Delay is when I feel like something should have happened but it doesn’t. It doesn’t mean that it won’t happen but it does bring some disappointment because there is a part of you that feels like it should have happened. I wish that there were some things that I could delay.

  26. I am a procrastinator…delaying is a way of life. i try, though. why put off till tomorrow what can be done today? delaying just leads to stress anyway and stress leads to wrinkles.

  27. Without delay, they ran,
    The wind tousling their hair like fingers,
    collecting in their ears,
    and they ran with the wind,
    taking flight like an eagle, majestic and strong,
    a symbol of things to come.

  28. He desired this woman with his entire heart, and when the time came, the opportunity just escaped him. Always chasing the rabbit, searching for the end of the rainbow, and reaching for the distant moons. His mind in delay of his heart.

    Stephen
  29. always holding back. never just going with the flow….letting your mind get in the way of your heart. missing a big chance…not taking a leap…

  30. What if I delayed writing about this word? Man, I worry about my spelling, this could delay the final product. I really stumbled upon this page, and writing this is delaying my web surfing. I am little curious as to what will happen with my little page about delay.

  31. Omg this whole thing about my work is a big delay to me. Nothing about work is not delay. It delays me from sleeping late. It delays me from expressing myself.

  37. I have been delaying the doing of my homework ever since Friday night. and hence, here I am, doing my homework at 2 am in the Sunday night, when I am supposed to be sleeping soundly in my bed. I clearly understand the need to improve self-discipline and timeliness. The effective use of time only can ensure my continued good performance in this semester.

  38. if my delay seems in haste
    then sorry for my wrongs
    it was done in waste

    if my delay seems intentional
    then sorry for my actions
    it was done unconventional

    and if my delay is my words
    then i apologize for my silence
    if words were weapons
    then my words have been violent
    like fists swinging hard
    like guns on the street
    like marks that scarred
    and being at our feet

    so hold on, sorry for the delay
    i’ve been writing all that i have to say

  39. it ruins everything. although it can save your ass sometimes.

    id say delay is one ehting the world could live without.

    i think more people would be in love with out it.
    more would get done.
    mistakes would happen
    it would still be alright.

  40. There’s this funny delay when I video chat with my other friend, it’s kinda funny ’cause when i do something completely and totally crazy I get to sit back and watch her reaction to whatever I did. It’s a little rediculous also because whenever we talk I have to wait for her to respond and it’s pretty dull…
