2005, 2005, 2005. It feels like only last month it was 2005. I look at the stuff I’ve worked on in the past years – skins for Quintessential Player, web design stints, and whatnot – stuff that feels like I only did months ago, but as I look at it all more closely it turns out to be many years ago. I’ve been with a particular forum for six years already. Six years! Oh how time flies.
Now 2008 is upon us. HOPE6 was already a year and a half ago, and the next one is due up soon. Jesus. I often wonder whether this lost track of time has to do with the fact that my time in that period has been absorbed only by a few projects (namely On Piracy and Docks), or whether it’s just one of the drawbacks of getting older.
I remember at the hunting camp I went to a few months ago, a man that was in his early sixties was there. Â He had worked for Bell all his life, and yet, as he explained, his first day there felt like only yesterday.
I don’t want to end up like that. When I’m sixty, I want to feel like my being twenty-two was ages ago. What a scary thought that is, to have life literally dissappear from under you. To have it gone by in the blink of an eye.

Time is an ephemorous creature…It ‘fly’s’ along or ‘stand’s still’…It ‘wait’s for no man’ and yet ‘the holy time is quiet as a nun’..I can tell you that 37 years ago, I was twenty…and that those years have not gone by unnoticed nor have they gone ‘speedily by’…They were Lived !! and I guess that the important matter is: That you indeed LIVE your life without so much worry to ‘Where the years have gone”…The years will look after themselves…but the LIVING is what YOU get to do if you’re lucky !! xoxoOvaltine
