The First Decade of the 21st Century

It is still December 31st where I live. It will be midnight in an hour and a half.

One thing I love about the ending of a year, is the excitement we all get, the hopes and renewals of maybe executing a much better year than before.

We all know resolutions are dumb, no one keeps them, but its fun to just talk about the kinds of things we wish to change as the year comes into our lives.

We are reflecting.

This year is sort of special. Its been marred by deaths and gloom, but the truth is its part of an even bigger and sadder picture.

We are closing out the very first decade of the 21st Century. January 1st 2010 will open a new decade. This brings in even more excitement for not only hope of a better year, but a better decade.

I don't need to recap everything that happened in the first decade, there are articles and even book-magazines that talk about it.

All I can say is that I am glad we are ending the first decade.

This New Years seems much more gloomier than the previous years. Everyone is much more depressed and moody. Society is worn out. We are all getting older and finding it more and more pointless to celebrate the birth of a new year because of the let down of previous years.

But thankfully the first decade is over. Lets just move on and forget about the gloominess of the first decade...lets try to make this next decade a better one...

Its sad though that the 21st century is marred early on...hopefully someone will get it right in the 90 years this century has left before the 2100.
