In The Philosophy of Andy Warhol I believe the author is speaking of his view on time and how it can be both fleeting and forgetful, yet consuming. Warhol focuses on a topic that most people take for granted or never really pay much attention to. He shows how most people believe they may be in control of time, in the way in which you can now "carry time on your hands" by means of a watch. Yet, nobody is really in control of time. Must like most choose not to be in control of her sadness or happiness, but rather allow circumstance to dictate how they feel. Warhol tries to explain this theory when he states, "A person can cry or laugh. Always when you're crying you can be laughing, You have the choice. -- You decide what you want to do and how you spend your time."
I believe Works by K. Silem Mohammed almost speaks of the same philosophy, but rather within atmosphere, space. Although, his writing was very confusing and hard to grasp what his ideas are. Both pieces are the authors form and way of expressing their views on a topic.

I also agree that Mohammad's writing as a bit confusing to understanding. Both authors did use their own personal experiences which helped me understand their opinions about certain topics. Both works were interesting and I had to re-read it over to try to understand it more.
