Party Like it is 1999

Earlier this year my Sudoku calendar broke. I was left with a huge chunk attached to the stand and a huge pack of puzzles. As I looked at the date, I thought August 24 was forever away, and now it is here. How does time move so fast and so slow at the same time?

I remember thinking about how 1999 was so far away. The concept of partying like it was 1999 was so ridiculous. Now it is ridiculous because the turn of the century seems like ages ago.

Am I the only one who is grappling with the concept of time?

I was actually just thinking about that a couple of days ago. I was reading an introduction to a book that talked about the election in 1992 and the changes it could make before the year 2000, and it just made me laugh to think of the idea of how the year 2000 was this weird point in time that people thought the whole world would move into the futuristic ideas we always had about what the world would be like in 2121 and it's Star War's type set-up (minus the great creatures).

I was recently told that only Trekies can truly understand the space-time continuim (I don't know how to spell that word. I'm not a Trekie)
