So, seeing we're in 2011 and the wheels of history are turning again, how about giving your verdict on the start of the 21st century? Was it good/bad? How did you live things personally and what do you look forward to in the next decade?

I wasn't alive for much decades. But it seems like more was achieved in the other ones.

I also miss rotary dials.

Also this thread is weird and would be better at the end of a year.

True. But it's only with recent news that 2011 is showing itself to be something different from the previous ten years.

The last decade had it's ups and downs for me, but it got really really good near the end of 2010, and it's been that way ever since.

Here's to the best decade of my life, and it's only just started :D

Lots of travel, got married, moved to Japan, learned another language, and witnessed an amazing decade for independent music. The RIAA has never been so ****ed. :)
