I don’t know why, but I’m just fascinated by the whole leap year thing. I’ve been thinking how cool it would be to be born on leap day (or perhaps how depressing it would be). Leap day also causes me to think about time and how quickly it goes by. It seems like since I’ve gotten a little bit older, the pace at which time passes has quickened. For example, a year in high school seemed like an eternity. When I think back about my senior year, it seems like a decade full of memories. Now, a year feels like a month or so. I mean, it’s 2008! And where are the hoverboards and flying cars? Yes, the iphone is pretty cool but it’s nothing compared to the futuristic bliss shown us by Marty McFly and Doc Brown in Back to the Future II. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting on a hoverboard or a jacket that automatically dries itself? Anyways, I guess we better make the most of the time we have cuz we’re going to blink our eyes and it will 2058.
