///DIEUHR///

For a philosophy paper at the University of Auckland (which I half-ass attended in 2005), I recall trying to theorize a new idea behind our existence. My tentative theory was to be that God was not our creator but indeed Time was (simply because I didn't want to be the same as all my classmates & argue for the existence of God). The more I thought about it & attempted to make sense of it, the more increasingly abstract my theory became. A couple sleepless nights & hundreds of illegible penciled notes across miscellaneous philosophical readings later.. I gave up. This theory needed much longer than a two week college deadline to fully create, understand, grasp, & clarify. Of course, the irony: I ran out of time to write about Time.

I also recall, around about the same time, Myspace was inviting users to create their very own url. Still obsessing over time theories & just the general idea of Time, combined with being an unusual fan of the German language & the French designer Christian Dior, I came up with: http://www.myspace.com/dieuhr (which no longer directs to my profile for some annoying reason). Die Uhr is German for 'the clock,' which when pronounced happens to sound just like Dior.
