The beginning of a decade!

31 December 2009 (Thu), 11.40 p.m.
I feel it now. I felt it weeks ago. Everything is coming to a close. Right now last year I remember thinking, "2008 is coming to an end and in just a few minutes the whole of 2009 will be laid out." Right now I'm thinking, "2009 is coming to an end and in just a few minutes the whole of 2010 will be laid out." How the years past by.

2010

2010. 10 years it will be since the much anticipated year 2000. Somehow it seems significant this 2010, to me at least. 2010 will mark a decade. I wonder how it'll be like in 2020, 2030, 2040, 2100. All numbers. Meaningless numbers when you see it written yet those number will yet mark another year mankind has survived, that is if we are still around. What does the future has in store for us? Will the Earth get hit with a deadly virus in 2011 and to ensure the continuity of mankind clones are generated like in Aeonflux? Will the world come to an end in 2012, like in 2012 the movie? Will the FBI/CIA be so technologically advanced in 2054 they can predict a crime before it happens like in Minority Report? Will mankind survive long enough or will the Earth survive long enough to see the year 3000? I bet when it was the year 1000 they never thought we'd live to see the year 2000 and yet we did. Someone in the year 3000 might read this and think, "Ha! We're still around!"
2010. There's many who didn't live long enough to see 2010 (among the famous, Natasha Richardson, Farrah Fawcett, Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy) so count your blessings you're still alive today celebrating the new year.
11.59 p.m.
It's very near now. Very soon we'll be crossing over to a new year.
1 January 2010 (Fri), 12 midnight.
The clock just struck past midnight and I hear fireworks outside my window. 2010 is finally here.
I feel it now. Everything is just about to begin. There's a whole year ahead of us. What will this year have in store for me? Only time will tell..
