:: speeding up ::

why is it the older you get the faster time goes...

i remember as a child starting a new school year, it would seem that the year went on and one forever. finally the time would come where you do the trip to the Newspower to buy new stationary - oh i won't get into my stationary fettish here except to say, Maz and Jen keep your damn hands out of the forbidden draw...

then in high school, the five odd years just ran out...eigth grade was new and exciting but then with each passing year if felt less like a year and more like a quick 10 weeks and then final exams again...

then university - between working part-time work gigs, partying/getting f*"cked up on a regular basis, i really feel like it was all over in 4 months - although it was 4 years...been a while since my last sweaty rave party...and when was the last time anyone had a beer bong - what a mis-spent youth...

and why the seemingly whinging rant? half of 2005 is gone already, so quick...i look back at the last 6 months and try and review what has happened, but the time has gone so quick...a few highlights in what has been otherwise a routine, real world, working life - is this what real life feels like?

i remember back in 02/03 sitting with the century club and hypothesising how "everything will be so much better in 2005 - anything can happen in 2005"!!!! well it made the goon bags at the Woomera concrete palace seem all the more tasty - been a long time since we have burnt furniture too....

well here's looking forward to the next quick 6 months, starting tomorrow with laura's arrival and my vacation!!!!
