I'm in junior high tomorrow and starting high school on Friday.
And if you really want to feel old, you just have to realize that the people who graduated from high school this year weren't even born yet when Jurassic Park--a movie so technologically revolutionary that it changed the entire special effects industry and became a major cultural phenomenon--came out. That's an entire generation of people for whom Jurassic Park, if they bother to watch it at all, is just another movie full of stuff they've seen dozens of times, but less exciting. That fact, when juxtaposed with the fact that that movie blew the entire world's collective minds when it came out, makes me feel incredibly old.

You know what made me feel old. I made a joke about how I went to high school with Michael Jordan. (I went to school with the name Michael Jordan... haha... I know not exactly the funniest joke in the world). The person I said this to, asked me who Michael Jordan was. And all I could think was... "But Space Jam!" Then I realized they had just been born when that movie came out. Now, I was only like nine when that movie came out, but I mean, it was a kids movie, and I loved it and I can't remember ever not knowing who Michael Jordan was. The worst part is they didn't figure out who I was talking about until I finally said "you know, the tall, bald, black man in those hanes commercials."
And on that note, today's comic was when I started kindergarten.

So ... whos Michael Jordan ?
(I'm not exactly into sports ...)
Anyway, todays comic fits into my current life 100% :D only I dont play WoW (baeh) but Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.
Best. Game. Ever ! :D
Okay, it could have likewise brilliant PvP for total perfection. But until then, its the best PvE MMO out there.

Wow, there's some age disparity in here :)
I can't wait for the scary future year comics, when people start posting stuff like "2045 - this is the year of zombie apocalypse", or "alien invasion", or "this is when internet predicted me to dieeeee :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o"

And when I started high-school. Hanners and Marigold, the skipping records of QC. Come to think of it, I'm trying to remember if I've even heard a skipping record except in films etc. How long will it be before the metaphor loses any meaning?

when's the last time you saw someone put a cart before a horse?
the thing that messed with my head was when i realized that there were human beings in the world old enough to have a conversation with, who have never watched a movie on vhs or listened to a cassette tape, and probably never will. i'm too young to feel this old.
