2009

When the year 2009 came, I thought: Cool. The future. The year picked by many an 80’s science fiction writer to avoid the obvious rounding off at 2010 (I presume). It is a Dolph Lundgren movie. It’s also common enough to not be a prime number year. It is innocuous, plain and unsuspecting. So who cares about 2009? Forget 2009. Even the blog had a bad year. I bet even Anonymous (that asshole) had a bad year.

This is 2009

Like a walking shit, it is a creature whose properties do not normally allow for subsistence. It is a monster that has one month left to live. It is what 2007 accidentally created despite 2006’s warning and what 2008 forgot to nurture.

I’m a firm believer in new beginnings so I trust 2010 will be the golden year that 2018 will vainly try to imitate and that 2028 will ignore altogether. And I wish this for everyone whose salad days seem far behind. We’re not getting old. We’re just having trouble adapting. So yes, a month in advance, I bid you all a happy new year.

Shit, I just wasted 2 hours retro-surfing the blog, just to verify your claim that 2009 was a bad year even for the blog.
And man, its not true!
Ok, 2009 had less posts then the previous two years in terms of quantity, but the quality was there!
In 2009 on these cybernets page, we learned of :
- Positive Feedbacks
- the truth about global warming
- Percentage of American Fat
- The Biography of Jesus Christ
- Electric Love
- and so much more!

We also learned that Barbarosa was a total blogwhore, who will abandon his past blog affairs for new better paying ones!

I believe this blog still has good years to come, and 2010 will be one of them!
(hows that for some positive feedback)

I wonder if back in 1909 they thought: hey, this decade has been pretty damned cool. I bet the next decade will see the same level of progress and the same relative peace that we've enjoyed.
poor bastards.

Indeed.

But still, this decade has been pretty damned cool. I bet the next decade will see the same level of progress and the same relative peace that we've enjoyed.
Specially with Mahmoud grinding Israel's gear and the melting poles, we're set for a helluva decade.

HELLUVA DECADE, people.
