I have trouble with my timing belt as well. I've been working on
  the issue of Pace and Timing, both internally and in my
  interactions with others.

  I want to be a smoothly running machine, performing lockstitch
  after lockstitch without fail, tying new memories onto the
  fabric of old, and grafting old memories onto new, keeping the
  needle oiled and fertilizing the roots that feed the graft with
  as much bullshit as they can handle, and plucking the fruits and
  watering the plant without rusting the engine in the sewing
  machine.

  Still keeps dropping stitches though and I keep getting these
  weird maggots showing up in the graft. But I keep painting the
  tar on it and washing it with vinegar. So far, so good.
