Aught-a Here

So what the hell was this decade called??? The 2000s? Wikipedia lists “The Noughties” & “The Aughts” as contenders.

It just seems weird that we have no label for the past 10 years. Last century it was easy. I was alive for the 70s, 80s & 90s and refer to them as such. But how do I refer to the last 10 years? Is this why there is no VH-1 special for I love the {name}?

It does seem odd to me that there haven’t been many decade retrospectives this time around. Granted last time was a new century too & we all thought the world was going to end. This time the world isn’t supposed to end until 2012… so we have time.

But what’s in a name? The decade wont shortchanged in our memories because we don’t know what to call it. The world changed so much in the last 10 years that that would be impossible.

So, even though it sounds like the way Mr. Burns referred to the decade he went to college (1900s), I’m putting my foot down on this & going with the Aughts!

Now all I have to do is figure out what to call the next 10 years. Here we go again.
