1989

I still remember when I thought that it was so weird to change from writing the date as 1989 to writing it as 1990. Now it is 15 years later. 5 years into the New Millenium. Would you still consider it a NEW millenium any longer? It HAS been 5 years now. How new can something be after 5 years? I sometimes slip. When someone says something that is dated people then retort with "Well, it is such and such year" Well, I've slipped a few times recently saying "Well, it is the 90's" then realizing that no, no it isn't. That was the line to say back then. It is still in my mind. SO what would you say now to bring someone into the present? "Well, it is the New Millenium." Yeah, I guess that would have to do because saying it is the 2000's or the 00's or the single digits wouldn't really cut it or have that same flare. Or you could just say the specific year that you are in. Now if someone says anything dated you can bust them on it and say. "Well, it IS 2005."
