    That leads me to this segway. At 20 I already feel like so much has happend, which don't get me wrong, I like. Adventures are exciting but its strange to think I still have (God willing) 60 more years of life yet and I haven't even plunged into allot of adult terroritory yet. And already life has been very interesting and at times very stressfull.

    I guess this why allot of old people don't fear death. When I was a kid death scared me to death. Give me 60 more years of this and I'll be ready to take holliday

    How am I supposed to remember everything?

    It's times like these I wish Kurki was still here, he always put these kinds of things in perspective
    i feel the same way. i am only 18 but i feel like ive lived so much in that time. ive lived so many different places seen so many things its always a pleasant surprise when the world surprises me again.

    there are always certain triggers that i feel give me memories. like that new book smell of the paper or certain sounds and tastes

    I've been being nostalgic for as long as I can remember. When I was in Primary 2 (about 6 years old), I used to look back to the glory days of Primary 1, when life was so much simpler...

    I heard something the other day....

    There are children leaving school (16 in the UK) who weren't even born when Toy Story was released.... that made me feel old

    That and every time I realise (not a z surely ?!) its not 200 and something its 201 something... the date in years that is...
    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!

    Stuff like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and Bill Nye the Science Guy - TV shows that were pillars of my youth that today's kids hardly know of.

    Definitely Toy Story as well. High school kids who weren't even born when it came out?! Madness!

    Ja Mata, Tosa.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    Sounds a lot like my childhood and I remember this one time being distracted from my homework by Bill Nye talking about erosion.
