  1. time delay sucks because when you want to talk to someone on the other side of the world, you cant because it’s only midnight over there, so you have to wait until its really late before you can talk to them.

  2. After half an hour we gave up and walked. The buses only came once an hour, but we had waited forty-five minutes or so I guess so you can’t really fault us for setting off just before the first one came past. And when David said, “fuck it, let’s take a shortcut through the forest,” we didn’t think a damn thing of it. The sun was still high then.

  3. Don’t we all hate delays? Having to sit in traffic because there might have been an accident and everyone else on the road seems to think they need to hold up everyone so they can take a look? I hate being delayed, especially when I’m on the road. Gas is too expensive to sit on the road, stuck behind a bunch of stupid rubberneckers!

  4. i’ve become so much of an optimist that i almost annoy myself. i always see the “bright side” of delays. but hey, it’s a hell of a lot better than sitting on your ass just feeling sorry for yourself.

  5. Do not delay. We don’t have time to spare. Use it wisely. Time is an illusion. There is no time. There is only the now. Now do realize this and do waste your non-existant time. Do not delay.

  9. delays in life are often thought to be a waste of time. but time is time, it doesnt care if you are not doing what you want to be doing, it will still pass. so enjoy it, use it and cerish it because even “wasted” time is time you will never get back.

  10. I can not delay feeling good. There is no time to let bad feelings get in the way of feeling great. Life is short. Let all thoughts go, they do not serve you today.

  11. winter school delays. I’m going to miss them a lot.

  12. The delay…the moment in time where one is perfectly poised to be great. Where you can conjure thoughts of actions, when executed, which will create significant, beautiful change. But one never does, as is the nature of delaying. As in the delay, your true ability is frightening. No…I shall delay some more. It’s safer this way.

    Althea
  13. There is never a time in anybodies life where they should delay in anything. Making decisions, deciding wether to spend the money, or to lean in for the first kiss. Life is too short to delay it. Because death will certainly not take the time to.

    Jeremy
  14. I am someone who is wonderful at delaying. A procrastinator, it is my biggest downfall, in my honest opinion. So much in my life has been left on the side lines because of my constant delaying. The true secret to success in life, I feel, is to believe and then DO. Just do it, as Nike puts it.

  15. painful waiting for something that is never here and never can be claimed

    JC
  16. That is what I feel when I think about what is going on now. Delay. It’s the word that describes the blocking of progress, the annihilation of further thought and action.

    Nate
  17. that’s my day. cigarettes are a friend because they facilitate delay. my day off, i delay until i can go to bed and look forward to tomorrow. tomorrow i won’t procrastinate, but today, i sit and smoke and think about those things that i’m delaying. for one more length of a cigarette. damn i’m good at this!

  20. Just one more day to put by hoping it will all go well. I don’t have much to do before I head out into the big wide world on my own. The world of higher education waits for me, at least for a while longer.

    I’m delaying the inevitable but I’m not because time still moves at the same rate. In my head, however, I’m trying to hold on to things I have at the moment.

    So let us all keep holding on to things we have.

  25. There was no delay in the time it took for him to see what happened and react accordingly. There was no room for delay. No room for error, for screw ups. This was his time to shine, to show his true colors. This was his time to prove he was more than they believed.

    Evans Prater
  26. just slow down and wait

    Lisa
  27. Stop, halt – my life is on permanent delay, can’t rewind, pause or go forward – just delay, delay, delay….make it stop…make it go forward, press PLAY – don’t delay, don’t halt, don’t make it stop….life sometimes is a delay

  28. She was at the airport, waiting for the plane to arrive. She was waiting to see her fiance again. But it looked like her flight would be delayed. She sighed.

  30. i’m delaying to write about this. Thinking to much about whether someone will approve or not of the content. Who cares what people think? Actually people do care, which is why they take their time to delay what they are writing in order to please others. Huh? I know….I’m delaying. Sue me.

  31. the hell should I know about delay?

    Delay, the act of being late. Doing something after the time has passed, reaching at a place after stuff has happened. Usually not intentionally, but because of factors beyond one’s control.

    Nothin more i got!

  32. i’m delaying calling that friend, knowing that he needs my support and comfort. but all the unselfishness of the past year has rolled itself into a great amount of selfishness and apathy now. it’s not about me, but maybe it’s also not about him

  33. I’m havinga delay just thinking about what to write about the word delay. I think this is an interesting but difficult thing to do in sixty seconds if you don’t know how to type very well. I’m not sure that my third graders would know what to do with this site

  34. Creeping sanity, juggling juggling. This delay of my mind is irritating. I’ll miss the next train and then where will I be? The engineer needs to be quick, step light, move fast. Don’t delay.

    Alyson
  35. All I can think of is that ridiculous song from the Twentieth Century. “Saddle up the Horse without delay….” But I suppose lots of words just make me think of songs. I’m delaying my homework right now; a paper, Italian and reading.

  36. Delays are bad when I am suppose to be somewhere…but it gets postponed to a later time or day. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I delay things all the time. I delay when I am not looking forward to doing something or seeing someone. I tend to procrastinate when I’m not looking forward to working on a project or studying. All in all…I think I need to stop delaying, face what I need to, check it off, and move on.

  37. I don’t have time for this. There is no excuse why you haven’t done as you were told. You had a simple task, and yet you still haven’t completed it. I don’t care what your reason for the delay is–you will do as you are told.

    I don’t care what your feelings are. I don’t care what you think of this. You will finish your mission, or you will face the consequences.

  38. the time is the most important thing in our life and any thing we delay is loosing of that time ksj

  39. time not now but maybe later because if it were now, it would on time. People are delayed, football game delayed by rain means i have to watch it longer, ugh. I hate when my friends get ‘delayed’ because it just means they were too fucking lazy to get there on time, with some sort of excuse so they try to not get into trouble and that one girl she is always late/

  40. Delay. Delayed again. I am always delayed. The trains, the net and the thoughts piling out of my limited head are delayed by different elements that are out of my control. The problem with delay is that it is unstoppable and it is better to just accept that one will be delayed than commiserate over the fact that yet again you have been delayed.
