First post - a new decade??

Well it is time to let the world that with the dawn of a new year it is time I Vagelised everyone (but in reality this is not gonna happen).

But to start off this new fangled blog, I want to discuss this whole 2010 thing being a new decade.

Technically it is not a new decade, 1 January 2011 is the start of the new decade. This is why:

When the ancient Romans started the calends, 2009 years ago, they started the first day as 1 January 01 - That is to say we did not start in year "0", but at "1".

After year 1, we had year 2, then 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and then year 10!!

Can you see where I am going here.........a decade comprises of 10 years....we are now in the tenth year of the first decade of this new millennium.

But I face reality sometimes, and the media and masses see this year as the new decade, so lets just roll with it.

We had some bad things - terrorism, the global financial crisis, reality TV and George W. Bush.

But the good outweighed the bad - digital music, facebook, blogs to allow narcissists (like me) to feel we mean something, online freely avaliable p0rn, torrents and many other wonderful inventions.

But these topics and many more will come, one of my resolutions will be to get on here and post something regularly.

Happy 2010 everyone!!
