American athletes asides from boxers, MMA fighters and pro wrestlers? OJ Simpson... but that's due to another reason. Not even sure what sport the man played. |

That would be football. Of the American variety.

Oh right. I knew it was either that or baseball but wasn't sure which one.
Why was the man trial a huge deal anyway? My mom says it made headlines throughout the whole world. Wasn't the guy pretty much guilty? How did he get cleared off the charges? |

They could never prove guilt due to the glove allegedly used in the crime not fitting. And it made such headlines 1) because famous person, and 2) because he led cops on a several hours long "slow speed chase" through most of the L.A. area in his vehicle with a gun to his own head (reportedly). And the murder itself was supposedly pretty brutal.

There's was some reasonable doubt too. Goldman supposedly put up a fight with his attacker. OJ didn't have any bruising at all. Also, from what I remember, it would've been difficult to have killed both of them unless one of them waited until OJ was finished and then let OJ attack him/her. I think it was stuff like that that had him acquitted.
I remember the car chase. We came home, expecting to watch Picket Fences, like we did every week, to see live news coverage of the car chase. We watched until it was over...curious what was going to happen. |

Wow, I can't believe it was way back in 2003 when I sh*t my pants in the garage. I'm 26 years old now, that must have been like 20 years ago.
These young kids of today must have no idea I ever sh*t my pants in the garage. Here in the far flung future of 2017, who knows what they talk about? That was a long time ago. I once sh*t my pants in the garage. |

There's a simple reason why time seems to get faster as you get older. The older you get, you have more life to base your sense of time on. This is why 5 years seems like a long time to a 10-year old, but to a 70-year old, it feels like the blink of an eye.
Also, many of us have vivid memories of experiences that "feel like yesterday". Even though time keeps going, those vivid memories still "feel like yesterday" no matter how old we get, which make time seem like it's flying. And Michael Jackson is still played in public everywhere. Beat It was playing at a kids' sporting event I went to recently. He will not be forgotten for a long, long time. We all know who Elvis is, don't we? |

Yeah, that's also why as a kid sitting through school felt like it went on forever whereas in reality it was so short. Like once you got to High School those 3-4 years felt like they would never end...but High School is literally only 3-4 years.
I mean nowadays 3 years goes by in a blink of an eye, but when you're a teenager it feels like 10 years. |

It's kinda weird but the thing I remember most about the different years of my life is what videogames or TV shows I was watching at the time, rather than anything I was doing in school or College.
I went to College for 5 years and graduated and don't remember anything I learned there. |

I remember you telling us what you studied in uni. Not gonna disclose it since I dunno if you want everyone to know that, but I think you could use that degree to something. Or at least use what you learned for something. Have you pursued a masters?
