[QUOTE=cheesedelux;23260075]You know, I didn't think anybody would be able to bare 9 years of the same song rolling.[/QUOTE] typo, my bad. 1991 is my YOB.
Time seemed so slow when I was a kid. Now, everything is happening way too fast.
The old days were by far the best, there were less gimmicks and something like donkey kong could keep you occupied for weeks on end, now-a-days i get a new game and complete it by the end of the week then never play it again. I remember playing sonic adventure on the dreamcast and believing graphics simply could not get better than that, in those days the graphics were as good as real life :buddy:
[QUOTE=Rammaster;23260092]Time seemed so slow when I was a kid. Now, everything is happening way too fast.[/QUOTE] Usually it's the other way around, time is supposed to zoom as a kid, since you're constantly learning.
I've felt like this before. I think the main time it hit me about life was 17 when I realised I could start driving, with age comes more responsibility :)
Time does fly so fast. I remember my fourth birthday, getting this big box of little toy cars. I remember back then, all I ever wanted to do was to drive cars. And now, in two years I'm going to [i]be[/i] driving. And Michael Jackson's death. Hell, that feels like it was a month ago. But it was almost a whole year! Shit!
Its only when you think of the past.
[QUOTE=Dan2593;23259174]Don't worry, these are the years you start to become a real individual, it's a fucking great experience.[/QUOTE] Fucking this.
I think it's really scary that I could actually leave school now if I wanted. And even if I don't (which I won't) I only have this year left, possibly another depending. But that's all. It just seems so damn close :ohdear:
[quote]I'm pretty sure everyone feels like this at some point. Or all the time. I don't know. [/quote] Yeah, I feel like that. Although I also often feel I was born too late. I think it would have been nice to come to age in the early nineties. Everything felt new in gaming and everything was possible. Albeit everything was possible in pixelated graphics and MIDI sound.:3: Those were the days. Yes, I'm fond of DOS era games. I regularly go back to them. I miss the look of the graphics. And the feel of the music (it's what gave me my taste for synth music). Incidentally, that's one of the reasons why I loved Deus Ex. Felt like a throwback to those bygone days. That music... Sorry. I'm feeling old and maudlin before my time.:blush:
I have one year of uni left WTF when did that happen
It might have to do with, the old you get every day/year is a lesser percentage of your life so far than it used to me, making it less significant. Like when you were smaller Christmas and birthdays were amazing and fun and great, now they're still fun but it isn't nearly as exciting as we've already had so many of them.
I'm going to die
What? In 2000 and in the 80's they had computers that weren't as big as a continent. Awell you seem to be going through a mid-life crisis at young age. D:
Life doesn't feel to as fast when you're actually doing stuff. I.e not sitting at your pc all day
Too fast.
I miss being 7.
Life feels better when you slow down.
[QUOTE=Dan2593;23259174]Don't worry, these are the years you start to become a real individual, it's a fucking great experience.[/QUOTE] And then after those 2-8 years you can settle into a life of being exactly like everyone else.
In one year I'll be 18 and my friends won't be all shifty and drinking underage, just well... Drinking... I only realised this recently, I wish I could have stayed around 16 forever, or well, at least for longer.
16 now. I am now able to drive. I've waited for so long to be able to, that it feels kind of surreal.
I always feel like time is moving too fast. Unless I'm at work, then it never goes fast enough.
My earliest memory is at a year and 12 weeks old watching a Baseball game with my grandpa. I remember it like it was just a month ago [editline]11:00PM[/editline] I wish I was 7 again
[QUOTE=cheesedelux;23259957]The future is a terrible place: 2000 - 10 (A lot of the younger members of Facepunch are born, act like they own the internet because they were born after it was made widely available) 2010 - Now. (In 10-20 years time it will be the wailing babies of today claiming the '10s were the best decade) 2020 - People born in 1950 are getting on a bit, Nobody was born before the 20th centry 2030 - Nobody fought in WWII, the 1930s are a century ago, 2040 - Those born in the 1990s have their sports heroes die. Last of the stars of classic films of the 1970s and 80s are dead. 2050 - Nobody fought in Vietnam, soldiers today are equivilent to WWII Veterans, Facepunch are retiring (By today's limits). 2060 - Babies today are 50 years old. Nobody fought in the gulf war. 2070 - Soldiers today are dead. Facepunch are dying. Babies today are retiring. 2080 - THE NINETEEN FUCKING EIGHTIES ARE A CENTURY AGO. 90s songs enter the fucking public domain. 2090 - Facepunchers die. 2100 - The Internet is over a century old. The chances of what is on it today still remaining are extremely slim. 2110 - Facepunch's grandchildren are getting on a bit. 2120 - Mikfoz celebrates his 200th. :smithicide:[/QUOTE] :smithicide: Why did you tell us this?

Well, right now I think my life did actually move too quickly, I'm only 17, but it seems that I just rushed through my childhood and now I'm here, done school last year and currently without a job. It was just too much for me, I mean you get kicked out of school and boom, life starts.
My Health teacher said, from the moment you are born to middle school things will seem normal. Then middle school goes twice as fast. High School goes even double. And when you graduate, life goes twice the speed of high school.
I'm 25 now which is practically 30, which is practically 40. I feel old :( EDIT: As you get older, each day / week / month / year is a smaller fraction out of your total life so far
And as we grow older the days seem to get faster and faster until they slowly merge into one massive blur and before you know it you're 60 years old and acheived nothing great
