That’s the sound of those little paper horns, by the way. As of writing, it’s roughly 8:51 PM on December 31, 2009. Ten minutes ago I was scrolling through facebook, Ten days ago I was sitting back watching Pulp Fiction for the first time, and 10 years ago I was doing basic math for a color-by-numbers clown. All day I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember the highlights of this decade. well surprise, surprise, It’s been all one big blur. I was in first grade, my mom died, I entered highschool, and here I am, 5′9″, 137 pounds.
When you step back and look at it, a decade really isn’t that long. They say that if the history of the world was a clock, the human race would have arrived at the party a little before midnight. In a decade we can see the rise and fall of franchises, empires, humanity, culture, art, the only thing we can’t see is Sean Connery’s aging.
There are exactly zero differences between these two pictures. Can you spot them all?
the great 00’s have been some of the oddest years of my life. We’ve seen the birth of domestic terrorism, sparkling vampires, space marines, furry leaches known as “Snuggies”, and prepubescent rockstars more beloved than Lynyrd Skynyrd, Journey, and at times even the Beatles.
10. Ten minutes and I’ll be sitting with my friends. 10 hours and I’ll be off to better things, almost unchanged by the sudden 1 creeping up on the date. Here’s for the best in 2010.
Got any tidbits to share with us about the past 3650 days? let it loose in the comment box below.
