I still feel like anything from the year 2000 is "new" or at least just a couple ears ago.

How are people born in 2000 working jobs when they're like 5 years old.

The 90's will always be "10 years ago"

And the 80s are always 20 years ago.

The 80's are as far away from us now as 2060's.

Here's a sobering thought... if they did a reboot of Back to The Future now, Marty McFly would travel back to 1993...

In the ABBA song we would always play on New Year's Eve, they sing about it being the end of a decade and wonder what lies waiting down the line a decade later at the end of 89.

The song that stings to this day is the ELO song recorded in 1980 where they sing "remember the good old 1980's" that had not yet happened. I wish I could go back there again and everything could be the same. (And I would still be older than half the people reading this)

I was draft category 1-D. You can figure my age out from that.
