Once in a quadrennial

Four years in the big scope of a lifetime doesn't seem that long right? But a lot can happen in four years - a transition from high school to college, a casual date grows into a marriage, a deserted countryside turns into an over-crowded strip mall.

There's something strangely awesome about the imperfection of the natural order of things, the inconsistency of our measurement of time. So we have to readjust because our understanding of the world is not completely on point. Really makes you feel like we don't have it all figured out huh? I think though sorta discomforting, it's a nice reminder :)

Anyways I found this song called "Leap Year" by Maria Taylor and it kinda picks up on that hauntingly weird, semi-sad, semi-chill mood that I feel leap day embodies:



So happy leap day. Celebrate as you see fit.

P.S. Did you know that every 100 years (if it's not a multiple of 400 years) that there is no leap day? Weird huh? Maybe the only thing I wrote down from Astronomy lecture today.
