the date buzz

so everyone has been making a pretty big deal out of the july 7th 2007 (7/7/07) date thing and i decided to do a little thinking about this.

a date which has the same month, day, and year has happened in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and will happen until 2012, when the months can no longer keep up with the year. 1/1/01, 2/2/02, 3/3/03, etc. until 12/12/12. then, we'll have to wait 988 years to go nuts again, when the date is january 1st, 3001. since i'll be dead by then, i guess i should enjoy these dates as much as... possible? how do you go about enjoying them? celebrating them? i guess it is pretty neat that since a "generation" spans about 40 years or so, the last time this happened would have been in the year 1012, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1012 which would have been about 25 or so generations ago.

that's about all i've got for now.
