Is it just me, or is 2002 going by a lot faster than previous years? It seems like I just blinked since 9/11 and its damn near been a year ago. It didn''t feel that way with 1999 or 2000 (kinda felt that way in 2001, though). What makes some years fly by faster than others?

Have you been more busy this year? Also the year is not going any faster, times is a constant, your just perceiving it as going faster, but its most likely because you’ve been busy.




Its not knowing the path but walking it.

*watches the thread turn into another "You''re an idiot and don''t know what time really is read a book sometime!!!111!11" flamewar*

Anyways, time went faster because God decided we weren''t moving along fast enough for him, the impatient bastard.
Uh oh...

It''s just a jump to the left
And then a step to the riiiiiight
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tiiiight
But it''s the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insaaaaane

Oh my God.

You didn''t.

You didn''t just do the Time Warp.

I just got back from band camp (insert American Pie joke here). We played Time Warp. I''m going to throw up.

Hmmm... calling God a bastard is going to start a flamewar... You really shouldn''t have said that...

Sure it is

Ok, so I dont fill this thread with crap I''ll be productive. Hmm... now that I think about it, it does feel like the year went by fast. I think though that it feels this way ever year, but it''s just that we have Sep 11 to base time off of whereas we usually dont have something as affecting.

I also think this year is moving along quite fast. Time better move faster because I want my Super Mario Sunshine, Star Fox Adventures, Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing, and Legend of Zelda.

I want time to slow, actually stop, but I want to say when. Just like that Twilight Zone episode but without the nuke in the sky or Burgess Meredith in the library but WITH his glasses.

The year went by so fast because nothing great happened. Sure, a misssing girl here and there but nothing much.

Perhaps time seems to go faster because as you get older, each year seems smaller in comparison to your life as a whole. Geez, when I''m 80 (like I''ll make it that far) a year will probably seem like a month... no wonder they can all sit around doing cross-words all day.

you''re getting older... years go by faster and faster as you get older..

I''m 28, and every year seems to go by faster then the last.

Twas the Simon and Garfunkle song that came to my mind.


The 59th Street Bridge Song

Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin'' groovy.
Hello lamppost,
What cha knowing?
I''ve come to watch your flowers growing.
Ain''t cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in'' doo-doo,
Feelin'' groovy.

Got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I''m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.

I think it''s because the older you get, the more aware of time you are. Your entire life is based around dates and times when you''re a working man, out in the world. Each moment is usually spent waiting for the next moment to pass.

When you''re little, you''re completely oblivious to time, and you don''t know how fast it''s going.
