It does make me think of 2001. I happened to get a similar self-portrait June 16, when testing my new camera: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Portraits/EyeBall_AMR_LX3_067.jpg.html> but it's not COSMIC, with the stars and swirls. That youtube link reminds me of the time when I was seven, and my father took me to one of his classes at the Chicago College of Optometry (we lived across the street) and I was grossed out by an instructional film of the dissection of a fish eye. For some reason, the cow's eyeball in a jar of formeldehyde that he kept in our apartment didn't seem to bother me. (!)

You've got great patterns in your iris.
