Time Flies

I remember being told that as you get older, time seems to move a lot faster.

Remember when you were a kid and how you could not look forward to the important things, like your birthday, Halloween, Christmas(Hannukah in my case), or the last day of school? And do you remember just how long it took for that to happen? It seemed like a lifetime. A year was forever.

Slowly, the year seemed different. Technically, the year was the same ammount of time as all the years previous to that one(not including leap years). But, something was changing. It just seemed, shorter. Time seemed to start moving at a faster pace. Suddenly, things that seemed to happen last week actually happened months ago.

Adulthood hits, and time speeds up even more.

My first job was working for this pet store in Modesto, CA called McCloud's. I know the store itself is gone(not surprised), and I believe the whole chain went under also(would not be surprised). I remember having a conversation with a customer once, I believe his name was Bill, about life. He had gone to the same high school as me, and was talking about how time starts to fly as you get older. As he put it, one moment you are graduating, and the next moment, it has been 5 years, and then 10, and then 15. I thought he was exaggerating. He wasn't.

On Monday, my son will be 9 months old. How the hell could 9 months have passed already?

I have been married for over 2 and a half years now. What the hell is up with that! Was it really THAT long ago?

High school is another thing. That was almost 10 years ago. How the hell could that much time have passed by so quickly? There is actually a reunion happening in June. I got curious and checked and requested information, but I will not be attending.

I lived in that apartment in Vancouver for 5 years. That was the longest I ever lived anywhere. 5 years is a long time, or at least it should be. Why isn't it anymore?

Worst day of my life was almost 9 years ago. The fact that I remember the date and all the details(I think) behind it is proof that there is no God(in case anyone emails me to ask, I will not talk about it).

My grandparents went insane and moved to Florida over 5 years ago.

I started this stupid blog about 2 and a half years ago, I think. I don't think the first post is in the archives since I moved the blog since then, and I am too lazy to check.

What I really want to know is.. does it get worse?
