You could be wrong about time.
The ego likes time, and it attached to the concept like a small child to their security blanket.
Maybe its already forever now Toad, its possible.
And if there is no such thing as time, then it doesnt exist, whether you believe in it, or not.

Yeah, they always pee right away in your hand when you pick them up, why is that Toad?
Toads are sensitive.
Give'em enough Time and they will also poop on your hand but by the Time you realize there's poop on your hand, the creating event will be in the Past.

2012 is my year (there I go, back into time), when I am going to be like that kid bursting through the school doors on the last day before summer holidays. Im 44, so its taken me quite a while to summon up the courage to live the life I want to be living. Crazy this thing we call time, its like a THIEF! It steals life, and Im not talking about the aging process or the body-clock, but the true life of living fully, even to overflowing.

I'm tentatively agreeing with your illustration, except that, this atomic box of slime we inhabit is somewhat beholden to the laws of atomic slime...and I say, somewhat...there are tales of 'bodies' being immune to degeneration...and it seems science has rediscovered that every cell in our box of atomic slime is replaced each year with a 'pre', and, 'running' program, through the auspices of a blueprint provided by DNA.
The instrument (if you want to refer to it in this way) is the you, who is always, 'You', regardless of what rundown carcass you inhabit.
This 'You', operates in a 'non-time' (while the slime around you degenerates)...
This non-time is the now...the only 'location', 'locum', 'locale', that you can 'be'.
You cannot 'be', in the past...and you cannot 'be', in the future...
You are in the now.
This 'now' time is what becomes glaringly obvious when 'out', of the box...as the past, and the future...become irrelevant...

All of that is correct, based on this Matrix, but what if this Matrix is a flim-flam?
What if your Now has already occurred hundreds of times in the Past and will occur again hundreds of times in the future. With your philosophy of Now, there is no Past and there is no Future, so if the Past & Future dew kNot exist, then the Now has no where to go, which the werd GO is a movement werd, just as Time involves movement on both sides of the Now.
The Now is stagnation and the Universe is ever moving, just as Time is ever moving.

It is the 'matrix', you and I ARE in!
Our 'now' has occured hundreds of times in the past and in the future...only...not 'in this matrix' (as you like to call it).
When time becomes irrelevant...ewe dew knot knead two 'GO' aniwear!

There you go.
So why are you so attached to this thing called time?
There is even evidence to suggest that its a type of eternal occurance, an evolutionary eternal recurrence (since the same thing cant occupy the same space twice (except the OWS movement).
Its a growth process in eternity, but being infinite, any finite particular nothing being nothing in particular, is nothing at all, so time ends as the everything already always forever is recognized, at some point along the way, which is NOW.

I think it's because they're scared of being wrong.
