I can't believe the decade is almost over!

[Moviefan2k4]

The older you get the fast time goes by. The last decade has flown by. 1990 and 2000 seemed worlds apart. Now ten years ago felt like it just happened.

Tell me about it. I remember being 19 years old, and watching Bill Bellamy host the 1999 Summer Music Mania Awards, with then-new acts like 98 Degrees, N*Sync, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Jessica Simpson in her first-ever stage performance. Here's a few clips for the retro-minded.

Christina Aguilera - "Genie in a Bottle"



Jessica Simpson - "I Wanna Love You Forever"



N*Sync - "I Want You Back"



Britney Spears - "Crazy"

All those videos just make me vomit a little in my mouth.

In about 23 hours (on the East coast) it'll be 2009, the final year of this decade. Is it just me or were these the fastest 9 years ever?! I can't speak for the `80s. I was a little kid and didn't care much. However...the `90s...seemed like forever to me. But this decade...wow...it flew.

Don't worry... you have TWO MORE YEARS for this decade...

Since there was no year "zero", the first decade was from year 1 to 10 (ten years), the second decade was from year 11 to 20 and son and so forth... therefore, this decade goes from year 2001 to 2010.

Same thing for centuries and millenia... they both ended on Dec.31st, 2000 (and NOT 1999).

So ya got 24 months instead of 12...

 

[Captain Planet!]

Eh, we can pretend that this decade will be over in a year.

 

[Catman]

Eh, we can pretend that this decade will be over in a year.

Then, we can honor it with a VH1 special.

 

[Hooded Justice]

That is illogical. Time always passes at the same rate.

Of course it does. But it SEEMS to go by faster when you're older. I thought that the eighties would never be over. Then I thought that the nineties would never be over. Now I just got finished celebrating the beginning of the noughties, and they're almost behind me.

Does anyone actually know that for a fact?

Seconded

It puts things in perspective. I graduated in 2000 and I remember looking at old yearbooks from 1990, the class ten years before mine and laughing at the fashion. Now It's been almost 10 yeas since I graduated and there's probably some kid somewhere laughing at the late 90's.

I was eating lunch out one day when an SUV rolled by with Class of 2012 painted on the windows. It was one of those moments of disbelief. Then i stop and thing that some of the people I work with were born in 1992.

 

[CashforStash]

I cant believe that i'm 14 and remember watching American Pie with my parents back in 99 and waiting in line with my dad for Star Wars Episode 1 I can't believe it's been 10 years.

Makes me feel old. There are adults who have no idea how awesome Michael Jackson used to be...

I remember getting home from Episode I and feeling depressed and let down because it was such crap.

 

[Silk Spectre]

Ten years ago I was working at Spencer Gifts part time after school. I ended spending all my paycheck on random crap at the mall. I remember NYE 98/99, I was 18 and finally old enough to get into a local nightclub that I had been dying to go to. Then I got there and was nothing special.

But the older you get, "One year" is a smaller percentage of your experienced lifespan, and thus feels like less time when it goes by.

Would I be right on the maths if I said that when you reach the age of 20, a year seems four times as fast as when you reached the age of 5?

How'd you feel after Attack of the Clones?

 

[The Shredder]

Then, we can honor it with a VH1 special.

Yeah, and finally "I Love the New Millenium" will be complete. Yay.

 

[Hooded Justice]

I didn't bother going to see it. Waited 'til it came out on video. Meh.

 

[Sawyer]

Meh is putting it lightly. There were actually parts of The Phantom Menace that I enjoyed, but Episode 2 was just two straight hours of failure.

I can't even remember that much of it to be honest with ya.

Consider yourself lucky.

I think ATOTC was the best of the new trilogy.

Jesus, dude...

 

[Captain Planet!]

I enjoyed (and still enjoy) Episode I. Maybe its just because it's a part of my childhood or something, but its one of my favorite Star Wars movies. And the year 1999 was radical.

 

[Shemtov]

Jesus, dude...

heck it was better then RotS.besides Phantom Menace was like Lucas had said "....first star wars movie in over 15 years.....people will just watch it even if it has a weakly-consucted plot and an annoying frog-like Thing that i cant get rid of until the third movie...."
