 did you realize it's 2004? i remember 2003 well, but 2004  seems like it didn't exist / doesn't exist: no memories.

my friend thought the same thing. i suppose it seems that  way when you look back at it all. if you look at in a  scientific  perspective peoples long term memory is shit. so  that would explain the feeling of a short time lapse within  an entire year.

if you're going to accuse me of saying something 'stupid' i  wish you'd back up your side of the argument. from what i've  read in science books and lectured in classes, its a very  well known fact - that humans are incapable of holding  memory very well unless its for a short period of time  (short term memory). i mean for god sakes humans have an  attention span of 5 seconds, let alone try to remember  something 4 months back. yeah in your dreams :)

perception of time seems to distort after a couple decades.  i guess the world doesn't seem so 'vast and mysterious' as  it had when we were younger. i think we all get so caught up  in the busy-everyday-9to5 life, that we don't even realize  its even happening. 
 
  find the magic in the daily routine.

but i have lots of memories from 2003, so your argument,  childrentalking, isn't convincing.

i studied psychology for two years, i know a fair bit about  the memory. once a piece of information has been retained in  the STM(short term memory) for 30seconds, it enters the LTM  (long term memory). most would agree that the memories are  kept in the LTM for an indefinate duration, and that the  reason we can't remember them is because we have no cues, or  prompts... you probably won't remember where you were  17  days ago at 4.23pm, but why would you need to retain that?   no reason to remember them. often people with serious brain  damage, are unable to utilise their STM have an excellent  LTM. its fair to say the capacity of the memory is  indefinate but to prove this 100% would be impossible...

you fail to understand good memory. yes everyone remembers  something which stood out in their life time since they were  probably about the age of 8 even, but thats besides the  point. you mentioned 2003 yes they're images some you can  correlate with one another but not a whole lot. you cannot  recall back in 2003 and know what conversation you happen to  have perchance or certain things you might've done in the  ceremony, unless they stood out for you. i forget what  mental phenomena is called but it has a name. where one  remembers certain things for reasons of distraught or shock.  anyways you also can't pinpoint any specific acts for the  most part. that is what i'm talking about. its not whether  humans can recall back to a point in time but what  necessarily occured in them. memories fade as time goes on  you cannot deny that and it becomes harder to hold onto them  unless you remind yourself of them.

ok this isn't really going anywhere.
   forget what mental phenomena is called but it has a name. (flashbulb  memories)

Mark the difference between i_x_ten's coherent post, and  ChildrenTalkings rambling inanity. One knows what they're  talking about, the other is gabbling in the lonely void.

childrentalking, in the first post you were saying: an  entire year seems short, because long term memory is shit  and you forget most of it, right?
   then it's a general thing that would have to go for all  years.
   of course i dont remember irrelevant details from 2003, but  i remember many events from 2004, i hardly rember any or  anything from 2004. that was the point.
   but this discussion is needless.

it should have been "i remember many events from 2003" not  "from 2004".

i think its depending on the cue or reminder, which triggers  back the dramatic exp. only certain fragments of the total  memory may be activated.
