Dear 1999, How are you?

It's been over a decade since we last caught up and it's high time we got together again. What have you been up to? My life headed into uncharted territory after 2008, so I'm organising a reunion of the decade from 1999. That useless prick 2007 won't be there thankfully. He's still in purgatory from the drink driving incident in his March. 2005 and 2006 got married did you know? Yeah, they got together some time ago and are very happy together. I loved that time period. I was still idealistic then. That Gorillaz album Demon Days was released in 2005 and the album had a few singles slip into 2006 (forgive the double entendre). That album encapsulates the era. They've been inseparable since. How are you and 2000 getting along? I heard he's starting to age a little, I've watched several movies from 2000 recently and they no longer look as crisp as what I remember when I was 15. Still, an awesome year for sure.

2004 said he can't make it, but that's ok, that is one year I'd rather forget - the turmoil of no job and no friends in the post-school era is enough to drive anyone insane. He had a weak personality. How did an awesome dude like 2003 turn into 2004? 2002 will be there, hopefully we can patch things up, that was the first year of the post 9/11 world and I felt everything was a cliche at the time.

I've been seeing 2008 a lot lately, she's still desirable despite her age. I remember the hope I had for Townsville during my trip mid year in her. I don't know what happened. Townsvilles ok, but 2009 I don't speak to anymore and the others, well, they're just acquaintances really.

2001. I think the less we speak of her the better. Just let bygones be bygones. I haven't invited her, but she knows about the shindig. Such marvellous beauty.

RSVP me when you get the chance. I really do miss you buddy. You were the beginning of everything for me. My love of music, my love of computers, my love of the abstract, my passion for my family, my love of cricket, my love of statistics, my crazy sense of humour. I love and miss you.

Chat soon,
