I love a good laugh.

I haven't seen it done as part of a movie plot, however.

He gets addicted to using it, more and more, improving the machine to make it work for longer bursts. He uses the time to write, paint, and do all the things he'd wished he could do. Although he accomplishes much, he grows old faster than his friends and family, and ends up realizing he had the same length of life he would have normally, except without companionship.

I'm a 21 year old filmstudent from Amsterdam. At the moment i am sitting in the libary with a fantastic view over the city. Today is the last day of the gaypride festival. Tons of boats, filled with 2 million hysterical homosexuals are coming by. They seem very happy and I am happy for them. But the thing is, I'm not so happy with myself at the moment. I should start making my shotlist for a short film which i will be shooting in a couple of days. But I can not concentrate. While i'm thinking, typing this letter and watching the (pink) view, time is flying by. I can not deal with time. It's uncontrollable. ARGHHH So, maybe i should make a film about a guy who decides that he will live 8 days, instead of the regular 7 days a week. 8 days each filled with 21 instead of 24 hours. He is doing this by starting every day, 3 hours earlier then the rest of the world. The result of his concepts is that he will have an 8th day between sunday and monday. I have a lot idea's about what will happen to this guy while he is experimenting with time. Do you have some thoughts, or idea’s on this 8th day? All comments, whether they are philosophic, scientific, spiritual or what so ever, will be very helpful! I thank you. Aram. Ps. Dear justaskoldguy.com visitors. I would appreciate if you will not steal my concept. If you are considering stealing my concept: don’t do it. Seriously. That would be bad. Ver very bad. Dear Mr Old Guy.

Here was the original link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-594683847743189197# But, as you have discovered, it has mysteriously disappeared. Evidence in some way of the conspiracy. Sigh. I will try to find it elsewhere. The Internet is nothing if not resilient. You’re right – it doesn’t work!
