Default Re: The Decade

So much has happened this decade, I think it's more memorable then the last one.. for me anyway. I think the only thing I regret about this last decade is that I followed politics too much.. but it's hard not to given all the major changes and 'firsts' that have happened.

We kicked off the decade with the first president to be sworn into office without the popular vote, then we get the first attack on American soil. Go to two almost meaningless wars, and it's revealed that we started doing torture to war prisoners.. and the reputation of our country seemed to be slain in the international community. Then we end it off with a financial crisis, then the election of the first Black president.

From an athletic perspective, watching the Kobe and Shaq fued after they completed 3 championships together will be memorable, seeing Vince carter jump over a 7 footer's head will be remembered... Seeing the US basketball team fall off, then come back was cool. Usian Bolt breaking Micheal Johnson's invinceable looking 200 meter record in the olympics was amazing. And the patriots tragedy of a season where they went undefeated all year just to lose in the superbowl was cool.

I have more but I gotta go to work.. but yeah, have to toss in the death of Micheal Jackson.. the death of the most popular entertainer to ever live.
