New Decade's resolutions

[Raistlin]

I already had this discussion with Shlup already, (very one-sided because I was right and she was so obviously wrong) but a "decade" is just a collection of ten consecutive years. It could be considered associated with every ten years since the beginning of CE/AD, in which case 2010 would not be a new decade (and 2011 would be). However, the term is commonly associated with a group of ten consecutive years so that in XXAX the number for "A" stays the same (e.g., "the '80s," "the '90s," etc.). Neither is wrong, and in the latter sense 2010 would be the start of a new decade. It is arbitrary, but then so is our entire number and calendar system to begin with.

My major one so far (that I've worked on even before new years) is being less negative.

[Badge]

Get a career in Music Technology.
Have my own house and get married (maybe have children depending on career)
Be happy

[SuperMillionaire]

Good for you, Badgemaker.

New Year's resolution: Move to the States and do a Master in Nanotechnology there.

New Decade resolution: Get married, have my first child before I'm 30 and get a good-paying job.

[SuperMillionaire]

Good for you. Nanotechnology is very fascinating.

I resolve to be a doper person.

I can increase my Dope Factor (patent pending) in the following ways:

• Practice my skills
• Choose a hobby to become adept at
• Stop being so smurfing fat

Don't worry, I'm on top of this .

I certainly hope not. I think ShlupQuack should have used a different word...

Convince more people that a new decade wont start until 2011.

Start killing the next person(s) who attempts that overdone, pedantic, and incredibly wrong argument to save time on repeating myself (which I even did just 10 posts ago!).

When the new decade starts.

Ah, as such. I didn't know there even was a doubt. The new millenium started at 2000, not at 2001, ammirite?
