…end of a decade?

Like a punch-drunk fighter, I see your power fade, talking your place in this mad, mad, mad parade. You pulled the pin from the last hand-grenade, It’s the start of a new decade.

Time magazine claims that 2009 is the end of the first decade of the 21st century. They argue — “Dec 31, 1999 was considered by most as the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 00s. So, it makes sense on some level to consider 2009 as the end of this one.”

Technically, this decade ends on Dec 31 2010. But hell, who cares? All that matters is that we all made it through this rough period in history. This decade, like all decades, gave us good and bad memories — more bad than good.

But I am just glad I’m in one piece. Hair of the dog — I am getting back in the next decade, what I lost in this one!
