For some reason, the first decade is a bit of a blur almost. It's like the 10 years went faster than any 5 years during the 90s for me.

To me it seems there was also more change culturally from 1990 to 1995 even (don't have to go the full decade) than there was from 2000-2010. The music hasn't changed as much as it did back then, same with clothes, everything. Just seems like there was so little change apart from politics and whatnot.

I wouldn't consider GWB a sociopath (the average sociopath is usually much smarter), but I've always considered him very handsome. Dumb as a box of rocks, but a good-looking man, in my opinion. I think John Boehner is handsome also. Nevertheless, I find the politics of both these guys very disturbing. Although I try to give whatever credit where it's due.

The first have of the decade (2000-2005ish) were pretty decent. It was a time when a lot of people still had houses and fat 401Ks. It was a time when CBreezy and Rihanna were almost on their way to being a power couple. It was a great time for Hollywood with sequels to the Lord of the Rings , X-Men and Matrix movies. U2s tribute to 9/11 victims at the 2003 Superbowl, and then of course there was that whole Y2K thing in 2000. Seemed like heavy makeup took a backseat to a more natural look around say 2006 through 2008. Green tea got real big during the beginning of the decade and now green tea is in every damn thing from soda to ice cream to facial moisturizers. Lots of talk about climate change during this first decade and technological gadgets improved faster than they could be created.

Actually I don't care much about decades threads but I just needed an excuse to talk about green tea.

I forgot how good that ish(shit) was.

...Seriously?

It looks like piss. I suspected it tastes like it too (or at least what I imagine piss tastes like), so I avoid it like the plague.

Take away the damage he did and GWB is one of the great comedic characters of all time!

my personal life issues along with 9/11/2001 turned me into a bit of a recluse (save for close friends). i kinda tuned out and movies became a catalyst to conversation and means of escape.

That was basically my childhood.. 2000 I started elementary school. It's funny, the last 1-2 digits in the year is also always the grade I am in So yeah...

For me it was

Britney Spears <3

9/11

Being blamed for 9/11

Spongebob Squarepants

Bad music

Miniskirts

Superficiality

Autotune

blah blah blaah

I don't even know, because I'm so young. But I'm just glad it's over.

But maybe it will get better? I mean, if you look at the 1900s, who remembers the 00s-10s of the 1900s anyway? Maybe we have great things to come but it's just starting shitty? Who knows..

Weezy and Gaga

9/11 of course

war

financial crisis

gwb

autotune

crappy music

horrible fashion trends for the first 5 years

the internet taking over the world

high school

and growing up i suppose

It was the decade that I was at my thinnest weight for the majority of the decade and I definitely took advantage of it by being the biggest whore I've ever been in my entire life. It was also the decade that I lost my mother and several good friends. It was the decade that will always be remembered for 9/11. It was also the decade with the worst music in the history of music.

I was the best of times and also the worst of times.

Love me some tainted dick.

I'd sleep with his redneck ass in a minute. I'd just tell him to not spoil it by talking.

I wouldn't consider GWB a sociopath (the average sociopath is usually much smarter), but I've always considered him very handsome. Dumb as a box of rocks, but a good-looking man, in my opinion. I think John Boehner is handsome also. Nevertheless, I find the politics of both these guys very disturbing. Although I try to give whatever credit where it's due.

If he would just let me go to his place. But since he's a Republican, he just keeps insisting on doing it in an airport men's room. And I don't even want to think about where he does it with Condaleeza Rice.

The last 10 years have been thrilling for me on a personal level. Thrilling isn't always great. But it's still a thrill.

Pop culture-wise? 9/11. The Decade of Terrorism.

Same with me...it will always about 9/11...I still think about that day a lot 10 years later, and when I go to NY (which is a lot for work) I think about it constantly and STILL can't believe the twin towers are no longer there.

But personally? It was a thrilling rollercoaster ride, beginning with a lot of confusion, then learning a lot about myself, and thus changing a lot of my destructive behaviour, and finally, ended with meeting the love of my life and coming out.
