New Year

2010... a new decade... It's amazing what can happen in ten years.

Remember Y2K? Remember all of that ridiculousness? People raiding grocery stores, building underground shelters, for what was believed (by some) to be an imminent global catastrophe... That was ten years ago.

Remember N Sync? Remember the boy-band hysteria? Justin Timberlake rocking a frosted fro (and those four other guys... do I know their names? Yes. I mean no, uhhhh moving on). Crankin out songs like Bye Bye Bye, It's Gonna Be Me, This I Promise You. Digital Get Down, and Space Cowboy (wi yi yi yippy yi yay... don't judge me). That was ten years ago.

Remember Trent Dilfer playing football?? That guy actually won a Super Bowl with the Ravens ten years ago. Trent stinkin Dilfer won a Super Bowl.... WHAT!!?

Movies like Castaway and Gladiator wrecked shop at the box office. Bill Clinton was the President. Microsoft Released Windows ME. The Rams and the Raiders were actually good. Michael Jordan was still playing basketball. The Nintendo 64 was all the rage. The Olympics were held in Sydney, Australia. There was that scandal in Florida over the voting for Bush/Gore. The World Trade Center Towers were still standing in NYC.

I wonder what the next ten years will hold?

Remember POGS? those were sweet.
