This morning, upon switching on my computer, I headed over to the celebrity gossip website TMZ.com (okay, okay, forgive me, it's Monday morning, all right).
Lo and behold, who do I see: O.J. Simpson's latest mugshot, this one taken after his arrest in Las Vegas, Nevada over his alleged attempted robbery at gunpoint, no less, of his own sports memorabilia from a private sports collector.
The story is more clearly elucidated on TMZ.com. But, for me, the important part was two-fold:
1. It's like deja vu
2. It was 13 years ago when O.J. made his first sensational running-from-the-law media splash
13 years ago. Back then, I was just about to start university, just about to start my B.A. in History major, just about to embark on a new journey. My God. Time flies. What have I accomplished? What have I done with my time? Earlier this month, on September 11, the U.S. marked the sixth anniversary of 9/11. 6 years already.
Do these types of anniversaries and events put your life into perspective?
yes... and no. usually they just make me feel old.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I am in denial or disbelief, or most likely both. I cannot believe time passes so quickly.
