Time Travelin'

Some people say that Time Travel may be impossible, based on the current understanding of the laws of physics.

I tend to disagree with them. I say this because I have already time traveled, and no, I don't have a portable fusion reaction in my basement, or some other science-fiction-y device at my command, but I do travel in time. In fact I did it just the other day...

I was outside last night and it was dark and cold. There was something in the air, a mix of the bitting cold of winter and the dark of night. As I inhaled deeply on the pungent air, for a moment it was a decade ago and I was back in college (Penn State main campus). It was a Friday night (instead of the Monday night I started out in 2008) before the end of the semester (early January) and I was heading over to my fraternity house (I lived on campus, not in the house). I would have been smoking a cigarette back then -- I wasn't now, but I could almost taste it on my lips as if I had finished it just a few minutes ago. Those nights, at school, on the weekends were so filled with options... it's a shame I didn't take too many of the ones that were available, but that's another post for another day...

This trip only lasted a few moments before I was pulled back into 2008, but sometimes you can hold on a little longer, for whatever it's worth, though you can never stay.

Next time you smell something familiar, or think you see someone from a long time ago, take the time to appreciate your own little time travel... and enjoy!
