Well that's decade #1 more or less over with

Post by Rum » Fri Dec 11, 2009 2:04 pm

Unbelievably, the first decade of the 21st Century is almost over. Where'd it go? :think:

Do you have a favourite thing that happened to you or that happened to the world in the last ten years?

I was all in favor of the two-party system as well, one in 1999-2000 and one in 2000-2001. You may not remember the battles that raged over the official start of the 21st back then.

So the 1980s didn't start until 1981. Interesting. :coffee:

That's because there were none. Not over here anyway.

9/11 was amazing. I think it's the only thing in my life that people 1,000 years from now will know about.

It wasnt amazing it was terrifying.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Iconic moment of this decade, for sure. An end of the decade retrospective will almost always start off with those images.
