Ok I have a lot of varied interests, but time intrudes on almost anything.
Science, I love science. Occasionally while indulging reading about some form of science or another, I recall, damn, I was born before this science existed.
Say for instance Plate Tectonics. Seems like very common stuff today, but I was here before it. Damn feeling old. Heck I predate things like Black holes and a whole range of interesting quantum mechanics being commonplace.
History, it might be boring stuff to a lot of you kids, but I actually lived through a lot of stuff that a lot of you kids currently call old news.
I watched the moon landing live. God it gets weird thinking of how far back my life goes some days.
Gaming, the first game I played, was THE first game, called Pong. I mean, crap I HAVE seen it all. When I was a kid, playing was done outside, there simply wasn't anything much to do INside.
And durations become seemingly hard to relate to. You likely think school is going to take forever. It's just 4 years eh. Man it seems like yesterday it was 2006, and before that 2002. And before that was Windows 98 which seemed neat once. And before that 1994 and the new Windows was due out shortly. And 1990 was my first computer which had all of a 100 meg hard drive hehe. So many batches of 4 years. 86 I got married. 82 was me finally giving up thinking being a history teacher was ever going to happen. 78 was the year I decided to join the army.
From a personal angle you guys won't likely think of, I muse, that my one big interest in gaming, that being wargaming, and WW2 and dang, that war was if you begin with 39, just 6 years long, and yet so much happened in those 6 years.
But today 6 years is nothing.
I have been online for 10 years. Seems like a blink of an eye though.
Seems like only yesterday I discovered forums.
