A Fresh Perspective

Sometimes surprises just spring from the queerest of places.


My mousepad, that came along with my computer,

as I've just discovered, proudly boasts the words :

Ready for the year 2000.

With an imprinted 1999/2000 calendar densely populating the rest of the surface.



And covering the flank of the whole array of words,


ACER

A Fresh Perspective.



You can imagine the irony of these words,

on a mousepad dating back to the previous millennium,

appearing in the present.


Now you know, ACER products can last for 5 years before

a crimson shade veils your monitor.



What were you doing in the year 1999?

Try to recall.


1999, the year when we were still friends.

1999, the year when I still had a teacher spewing foul words
out of his mouth every other day.

1999, the year when Clinton was still in office.

1999, the year when the first millennium baby was already dead for 900+ years.

1999, the year when I started taking higher Chinese.

1999, the year when I was first threatened by a bully.

1999, the year after I punched some poor dude.

1999, the year, when I bought this computer.

And, 1999, the year when I celebrated the 11th anniversary of my current hair-style.

Some things change, some don't.


Have your feelings been shaken yet?
