The Zany Zeroes

It's almost been a year since I got this Napoleon Dynamite calendar. It's been hanging around for eleven months now, month after month of pictures of nerds being flipped to reveal a new picture of nerds, with only one photo of nerds left to be revealed. At the end of it, a new decade begins.
The 2000s will be the first decade I will have lived all the way through, and the decade that I've first been really aware of this hectic world around us all. It's a bit of an odd thought for me. So much is coming in 2010, and this shift in life seems to go hand-in-hand with the dawning of this new decade.
I hadn't realized how close we are to the 10s until I saw the cover of the new TIME: The Decade From Hell (and why the next one will be better). Then it just hit me like a puff of steam or something of the sort. A new era is coming.
I feel like I can wear this decade like a badge now. Like a recruit in the military getting his first bar. I have a little more experience, and now I'm a little more prepared for the future. The 00s held the first big historical event I ever lived through and remember. The 00s held most of my time as a teenager. The 00s are ten years I won't forget. The 00s really have a weight for me. Now they're over, and we're moving farther into this new millennium. The 00s are almost history, and I was a part of it.
But maybe I'm just thinking too much about the insignificant when I should be sleeping for school tomorrow. I guess I have ten years to figure that out.

Moving on,
