Ah HAH! there is a year’s worth of time after your license expires for you to get it renewed. I had a year long grace period. After a year I need to take the whole test again, but now I have until 2009. I was looking at my brand new stamped driver’s license and came to a realization:

we are in the future.

Some how some-way we have used a time machine to go into the future. I have documents detailing dates like 2009. Two thousand and fucking nine. my god. This is the future that previous telepaths and fortune tellers have been predicting.

It isn’t as I had imagined. isn’t there a song that asks, “where are all the flying cars?” I’m a generation behind, but 2009 was always my date for the future. it was always the “wow I wonder what life will be like then” kind of year for me.

oh well. to each his/her own.
