It is truly amazing how fast time whips by you. Its been a decade since my favorite show went off the air. Its also been 10 years since placentas were mentioned in pop hits. It really scares me to think how quickly the world can change. It seems like yesterday that Chris Farley was making us laugh and Elliot Smith was writing great music. Yesterday, Captain Kangaroo died. In the last year, we lost Mr. Rogers and Johnny Cash. It really brings to light how short, sweet and very poetic life can be sometimes. You do get one shot at this mortal coil (or thus goes the popular opinion). I suspect the next 10 years are going to go even faster. It seems like you get so preoccupied with your job and the little crises that make up life that you hardly realize how quickly it is flying by. I have a lot to look forward to. Hopefully, I’ll get married and have a family (yes, some of us males actually look forward to this). I just hope that I’ll remember to treasure the little moments as they rush by me.

These things, they go away,
replaced by everyday.
