10 years (Decade) Ago...

So, I was watching the SERIES finale of TRL tonight on T.V. It's been running for 10 years!!! It was bittersweet. Old moments, new moments, but one thing remained most clear. How much time has past in the past decade...so in honor of a ending I thought I'd blog about what was happening 10 years ago. It's shocking to believe!



But, what's crazy is looking back at what was happening 10 years ago. So here's a somewhat brief list...


1. I was 10 years old!


2. Titanic hit theatres, and became the highest grossing film to date. (Yes it's that old)

• Wins best picture as long as 10 more Oscars
  

3. 2 words....Boy bands.

• BSB....yes the song "I want It That Way" was released 10 years ago! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgH-jWCny9U
• N'SYNC's....first album N'SYNC hit stores!!! "All I ever Wanted" and "Tearin' Up My Heart" were on this album!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAGjzd5vi_E

4. We wore what?

I'm pretty sure I had this exact poster on my wall believe it or not...yes yes, even a Christian girl like me, had posters of Britney on my wall!


5. T.R.L Premieres in Time Square New York. Helping out the careers of many artists!


Finding anything else, would require research, and let's face it, is that necessary? But there was an article in the Fresno Bee not too long ago about things from ten years ago returning. So here's a list of some modern things.

1. Boy Bands

• BSB still together, one of the only Original boy bands left. But has only 4 members instead of 5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxsoGheXnZ4
• Jonas Brothers-One of the biggest bands currently.

2. I am 20

3. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio return to the big screen together in their film "Revolutionary Road"

4. Twilight

5. T.R.L ends!!! *tear* Thanks for the Memories! (How'd you like that Fallout Boy reference?) huh?

History in the Making

Every Generation has those life-changing or otherwise historical moments that will go down in history. Whether its in sports, or society, or some other reason, these moments define the time we live in. I was just reflecting on the ones that I have already experienced in my lifetime; even at the young age of twenty. So I thought I'd list them here, and give some thoughts on them too.

Tragedies

• September 11, 2001- (I was in like 8th grade, but remember it like yesterday.)


• Various school shootings. Virginia Tech, Columbine... :(

Entertainment

• Harry Potter Series


• Titanic and Dark Knight etc...


• Apple-ipods, iphones, etc...

Sports Victories

• Boston Red Sox


• Fresno State wins College World Series!!! (Go Dogs!!!)


• U.S.A wins 4X100 freestyle relay in the 2008 Olympics!!!


• and of course....Michael Phelps!!! (need I say more? )

It's so wierd to think about how these events will be remembered for many many years, and I lived to experience them. It's crazy! I can't even wait to see what the rest of my years brings!??!

Olympic domination!!!

Michael Phelps is awesome! I love watching him race! I don't even understand how it's even possible to swim that fast!!! But yeah, last nights 4X100 meter freestyle relay was insane! wow! I loved it! I'm so glad I got to watch that!!! Even if it wasn't on till 11:30 at night! Anyway go Michael Phelps! 2 golds down, 6 to go! I know he can do it!!!
