I can remember exactly where I was when this awful decade came into being. Believe it or not, when I rang in the new year on January 1, 2000, I was not only stone-cold sober - I was at church! My then-girlfriend and I attended a special midnight mass at the local Catholic church to welcome in, not only a new decade, but a new century and a new millennium. I remember feeling filled with optimism. By entering this new era, I felt, we could wipe the slate clean. Maybe this would be a new age of peace, love, brother and sisterhood. EVERYBODY SING!
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius! Age of Aquarius! Aquariusuuuuus! How utterly naive on my part, huh? By year’s end, all of that hope was out the window and into the toilet. In December of 2000, an ideologically perverted Supreme Court would assist in a stolen election by stopping the vote count in the state of Florida, installing a corrupt little frat boy with the I.Q. of a half-eaten box of Milk Duds as president of the United States. It was all downhill from that moment on. From the birth of “Reality Television” to the worst attack on American soil since the Civil War, it was quite a strange ten years to say the least. Thankfully this awful decade is a mere three days away from being forever consigned to history’s scrap heap. Hallelujah. http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com Tom Degan
yep, zeroes pretty much sums it up.
here’s to a wonderful 2010!
Hey Massimo,
I’m glad you ended up in the same city as your wife, you certainly deserve it after all this time apart. Big Zeroes sounds like a good name. Although the decade isn’t really over until Dec 31st 2010, it is definitely easier to keep track of decades the wrong way I look forward to more photos of deer and such. The only wildlife I’m going to photograph in Cambridge is squirrels Take care! Add Comment
