Here's to the New Year
Gosh, they come around so fast these days...
Hope every one has a happy and safe 2009!

And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Cov may well have summed up '08 the best:

We know now that people probably weren't bored of '08 so much as broadsided by its financial unravelling.On Jan 01, 2008, Covenant Jr wrote:2008. Meh.

Or, as one friend said at 3am, "I'm bored of 2008. Is it nearly 2009 yet?"

Have a good one, be safe, don't get caught.
Great. I just hope someone out there can see the fabric of the economy. And, uh, maybe fix it while going around in fashionable leather gear.On Jan 01, 2008, DukkhaWaynhim wrote:2008 is nascent yet, and already seems great. That's the funny thing about hope - When you don't have it, you can't figure out what is missing, but when you've got it, it's like seeing the fabric of the Matrix.

I think there's a bug in the whole calendar thing. NO WAY it's been almost a year already !!
Anyway, I'll be in a drunken stupor this new years and won't be about so this is a somewhat earlier Happy 2010 and thank heaven the first decade of 2000 is gone.
May the next decade be a cooler one - unless the world ends in 2012 (well lets face it, the man-made global warming myth ain't gonna do it
)
I have only one new years resolution and that's to become a lot fitter than i am - been taking the new bike around the proverbial block or 6 and i'm feeling like i'm 136 years old......
Anyway, have a great and safe new years eve and look forward to actually particpating a bit mor ein the new year - this year hasn't been good from that perspective

Amusing article, ali.
Yes, a lot of crap has happened in the decade since 1999.
We may say that about every decade. But really, 2000-2009 has been hit with more manure than most, I think.
Might we have to go back to the 30's (Great Depression) and the 40's (WW II) to see eras that had greater global turmoil?
Just off the top of my head, let's see: the 90's had the Rwanda genocide, the Columbine shootings, the Persian Gulf war, and the first World Trade Center bombing.
The 80's were still gripped in the Cold War, there was the Falkland Islands war, the Chernobyl disaster, and the Challenger tragedy.
The 70's are a bit more vague to me, but it had Watergate, the oil crisis and KISS. Oh yeah, also the Munich Olympics where terrorists killed all those Israeli athletes.
The 60's had the Cuban Missile crisis, Vietnam, the nutty Cultural Revolution in full swing in China, and both JFK and RFK assassinated.
How did I do? Thinking about all that made me rather depressed.
Here's hoping 2010-2019 will see less crap. (I can't wait for 2019: that's when Harrison Ford will be battling replicants. Or maybe just telling them to get off his lawn. Not sure which.)

And 8-track tapes. You forgot those.
