As I woke up this morning, it dawned to me that it's been 5 months since I graduated from college. It's amazing how fast it went. I have very vivid and detailed memories of Bucknell... and if I live to 64, I already lived 1% of my remaining lifetime... which really is a LOT...

Time really starts passing quickly as you get older. In my childhood, 5 months was eternity... maybe that's because I enjoy life more now... so it passes quickly.

I would like to draw a graph here... of perception of time versus real time. We don't know how it starts out (can you remember how you perceived time as a baby?), but from age 5 down, it just gets lower... asymptotically converging to a constant (maybe zero)... I'll tell you the limit when I'm infinitely old. (According to my graph, it won't take that long, from my point of view)

64 seems rather conservative... average lifespan for an American male is something like 74, last I checked.

Well, I wanted to make the 1% figure work. So I fudged 64.

There's a problem here: on the last two comments it's showing Pacific time...
