If there's a highlight of the previous decade for me, it's America getting a black president. I really didn't expect to see that happen in my lifetime. Sad, but true.
Also, I it was about 11pm here when the first results started to come in, and I decided I'd sit up for an hour or two and watch the reactions on SE++. Seven hours later I was watching Obama's victory speech live and...had something in my eye. The posting here was absolutely priceless that night.
9/11 was a big moment for me too, but more because of what was going on in my own life than any impact it had on me or Ireland in general. I'd just moved out of home, and had started a new job. In information security, as it happens. That was a very weird time to start that career!

The water on the moon thing is pretty huge, I grant you. And as has been mentioned, tech is getting very cool. iphones, ipods, kindles, netbooks, all kinds of nifty gizmos.
Every generation is going to say their decade is better than the other.
I would imagine most people have more than one decade to claim

So I have no internet service all day, finally get a hold of a rep, get told that there is nothing she can do, schedules a tech to come out after I've lectured her on client side trouble-shooting, five minutes later, I can make this post.

im looking forward to the winter olympics and the canadians being so nice that their hosting is considered better than the china summer games. but will that be in this decade or the next? but all and all this decade had some pretty great olympics, let alone all the other wonderful sporting events that came to pass.
also, green bubbles, looking forward to them like the first sighting of unicorns
2010-2019 is going to be off the fucking chain for tech in preparation for the first manned mission to mars, and 2020-2029 is going to blow all your mother fucking minds.

I'm afraid to get older simply because there will be a point where I won't see the need for any new technology and that scares the shit out of me

Go peddle your opinions over there.
Every man a king, every thread a music thread
I LOVE Andrew Bird
I made a thread about him!
Him and Regina Spektor should have kids
Water on the moon, mission to mars, you see?

I remember when Indie used to mean something produced on an independent label.
Now it just seems to mean bland mindless crap.
But that's just me.
that's how words work
same thing happened to emo
and metal
and punk
and grunge
and EVERYTHING
it's called being introduced to the mainstream, chicky-boos
cry about it
Can't an old fart reminisce about the way things used to be?
just go die already
I plan on living forever unless I die trying to.
this year will mark the point where under no circumstances should I have still been alive. So I made no real plans for this eventuality.
I have no exit strategy is what I'm saying. That's intimidating.
Fuck bitches, get paid, make money, get laid
Man that is not how words work at all
Live every day as if it were your last.
Like I need to tell you that.
:x
Words change meaning all the time.
Language is a living thing, not at all set in stone.
Line breaks man I am totally ranadoodle
