  1. I wasn’t going to delay this any longer. I had to go to Tom and tell him that I was going to quit my job. I walked up to the front door of the building. I stopped, looking in the window at the receptionist.

    “I can’t tell him,” I murmurmed to myself. But I did. I walked in the building, past the receptionist, into Tom’s office.

  2. there was no delay, when i held my arms out, she jumped right into my arms. BOPPY! she exclaimed and gave me a kiss. What a sweetie pie. I hadn’t seen her in about a year and a half, yet it was like yesterday the way she came to me. I left her three days ago now, and it feels like a lifetime already.

  3. The plane would be delayed another hour. I sat in frustration, mindlessly drumming against the chair’s armrest.

    “Could you please stop that?” asked the girl next to me. I hadn’t noticed her before. Why not? She was…beautiful.

    “Sorry,” I said genuinely.

  4. There didn’t used to be such a delay when she was stuffing her face. Really! The food used to be shoveled down, barely being chewed… it was, kind of disturbing, actually.

    But, then she had gone and learned about sin, and how her gluttony was leading her further away from salvation…

    She might feel better, however, if she didn’t miss it so much.

  7. I am expert at delay. I feel delayed in life sometimes, which is interesting because everyone always thought I was older than I was as a kid and even now, I always hear, “you’re wise beyond your years.”

    I think it’s my own mental blocks. I place restrictions on myself that noone else has placed on me.

  8. I always delay my goals, why? I do not know.
    But procrastination itself is the biggest problem that leads to my delay.
    Shall i try and stop it?
    Yes…but how?
    How can i when i have tried for years?
    I want to give up.
    But i will delay giving up and try to beat procrastination once more.

  10. “delay” he said
    lacking the “don’t”
    and predicting our future
    in the words that were missing
    and the time spent waiting

  11. The train was delayed again. Just his luck, right? Nothing ever went as planned. His whole life was on delay, it seemed. His fiance delated the marriage long enough to decide it would never work, his boss delayed the promotion until he hired someone better suited for it. Delay. Fucking train.

  12. I can’t delay whilst writing. The speed at which this program forces you to act is the basis of human evolution. We are spinning in a world that will not stop for out lives a billion times over. Does that make us insignificant? What can we do today that can ever truly effect that?

  14. The train was delayed in its travels across europe by the inconsistent rambling of an old man in compartment j. his self-banter would rally day and night disturbing other passwengers and the train staff so much that they would stop and put him off the train at various stations, only to find later that he hasd snuck back on.

  15. When delay first was discovered, there was an awful waiting time. The scientist didn’t really know what to do with the talking banana. But eventually, they came up with the banana split.

  18. delay the starting of the Republican Convention because of Hurricaine Gustav. Very nice but a political statement not to be confused with real action.

  19. delay – makes me think of airports, trains, always transport, why do we only have delays in places of transport? trying to get somewhere, trying to get away somewhere more like, but always delayed. we don’t call it a delay when we’re just waiting for something, like waiting for someone to open up to you, for yourself to become brave enough to open up to them. i spose it’s because if something’s delayed you know that eventually it’ll happen…eventually. delay suggests the inevitable. i wish sometimes i could move away from the definiton of the thing and just write

  20. I can’t delay anymore finishing my dissertation. It has to be completed or I will not graduate. Horrors! Everyone is invited to graduation on December 12th. I must walk!

  22. Sometimes it’s interesting to see how we can delay things in our lives. Whether it’s something important like telling someone that we love that they’re falling faster and faster into a pit of despair or simply delaying using the restroom, we seem naturally disposed to delay things. Why? Are we so lazy as a people or so used to procrastinating that it has become a natural response? Or is it something else?

  24. Delayed again! ” I always get delayed when I come to New York. Why is that?” The train was late, the cabs never stop and the doormen never open them.

  25. to erri si human so I delay if I have to or want to, now delays are a nuisance sometimes but then again you have to be aware thast bus drivers and train drivers may need a call of nature or a cup of tea, who knows…to delay too much though can be a bad thing as it may mean losing out on something like for example winning the lottery. cos if you delay in doing it and your numbers come up you could miss out on being a millionaire…so delays can be a bad thing or a good thing…I hope that if I delay in life I don’t cause any distress to people as I wouldn’t mean to and I also hope that delays don’t cause me too much stress or even distress…now I am not delaying in writing this and I would think my sixty seconds must soon be up.

  26. There is a delay in time a huge delay. Unbeknowest to man all we do is delay the inevitable no one knows WHY. I s it th e human way to procrastinate and delay things we have no control over. Is it really in our power to be like the Gods and delay things that we have no right to tamper with?

    Kay
  27. Don’t put off loving words and other expressions of gratitude. Someone’s life may be changed by your timely response. Don’t delay.

    Melanie Dorsey
  28. i am delayed in writing this, because i started to think what to write, that means thinking delayed my actions, which i guess was thinking itself. I am catching up now.

  29. Delay is all about how you can lay. Weather its late or early delay is the most common form of being late. Why are people late …. they can be late at work, at school, at marriage or in their death. Yes though it may sound unbelievalble, people do get late in death.

  30. i have to stop for a moment. just enough for to take my breath back. all that i have lost is now gone and never comeback. in this dark narrow road, in the deep of my heart. so how can i ever forgive and ask for forgiveness?? just another path for me from other path of who i am. i sit back and lay down. its not the same feeling that i always feel, that i always thought. but the end , the only thing that matter is me and the next destination of my life….

  31. I can be your hurricane tonight. It keeps me from my Valentine.

  32. There is no delay when catching the train, take all your belongings pack and run as the train is not stoppig for long . and if you do not catch it all is lost and your packing is for nothing and then life is not worth living. the train will go without you and life is not worth living out of the case, but rather on the rails as you cannot go back now and reenter the house but catch that traa

  33. to procrastinate in a way that only means we are not able to face our fears and our future. to delay is to not come to terms with our life and ourselves and inevitably we become stagnant and unhappy and waste beautiful opportunities

    carmen
  34. The train was delayed. It was going to take a long time to get here and she just couldn’t wait any longer. She’d waited her whole life for this and now it boiled down to this stupid train, being delayed. She thought to herself, she had waited twenty years, she could wait a few more minutes? She doubted that.

  36. It’s pretty much my whole way of thinking. I live a sad life where I put everything on hold. I don’t know how much time I have left so why do I do this? Isn’t not knowing enough to make me MOVE forward? I don’tknow why I wait or waste my time wondering.

  37. i thought the page will load faster but there was a slight delay. today my pay cheque was delayed and this caused a lot of tension. I hate it when i get delayed to a movie. I’d like to watch it from the beginning.

  38. I was going to write something as soon as I hit the button, but then I saw the word. How can you write something with this word? How can you do anything but procrastinate? In fact one must say you HAVE to procrastinate or else you’re not really living up to everything the word has to offer.

  39. Delay the parting, she said.
    I’m not ready, We have to go sometime, he replied.
    But not yet, I’m not ready. So short on time and so long on closures.

  40. in order to halt things from progressing one must delay the actions of another as they move through time and space. Only then can on econtrol the forces of the unseen and demand destiny take their course.
    Delay is the ultimate tactic of control as it outs one beyond the control of another and within th graps of the gods.
