There has been a lot of press out there about the end of the 00′s. I’m not too sure how to pronounce that, but that is what they’re calling it. Whoever they are. It is the first decade of the new millennium and I can say that it is the first decade that my conscious adult self can remember all of. We were all there for the 1990s, but I missed out on a lot of it, because well- I was a child. However, in this decade a lot has happened, which means there is a lot to say.
The other day I found this gem of a list. Well, its a whole bunch of lists. If you know me you know that I love ranking favorites, the best, the worst, and well I love any sort of list basically. This WHOLE SERIES of lists (!!!) comes from Time Magazine. Including the best magazine covers, the best tee shirt slogans, the best movies of the decade (note the top three are animated- what does that say?/that’s pretty fricken awesome.) There is a whole bunch to chose from. There is nothing more fun than talking about hits and misses and cultural phenomenons- who doesn’t love the I Love the…. series on Vh1??
Then there is also this that i stumbled upon. It is incredibly morbid, yet fascinating. And just because it is depressing does not mean that we can ignore it. Also released from Time Magazine, it is their latest cover story. The Decade From Hell. It even has a photo essay of the top ten worst moments of the decade. Now I was debating whether or not I wanted to share this with all of you…but I decided it cannot be overlooked. Plus there is some beautiful photographs in there.
And since I want to end on a not so distressing and bleak moment, this is a story from the NYTimes last month, a debate of what we should call this decade that is coming to a close. The Decade from Hell seems like a little too much. I was thinking more of “The Age of Anxiety.” What do you think?
HOLY COW. As I edit this, I just stumbled upon this coming Sunday’s New York Times Magazine cover story. Its all about this year’s ideas and innovations. I love it. Enjoy.
