It's 2010. It tends to feel a lot like a few days ago but I'm pretty OK with it so far. 3648 days from now I probably will know quite a bit more about what this decade will be like but I'm unimpressed to this point.
I had a solid X-mas with presents and such, including a delivery by the Post Office at 2PM on Christmas Day. It makes me wonder what went wrong. New Years was very low key this year. Fireworks made sure I was awake for the New Year but it was significantly less insane that 1999 was. I was in college and there was lots of partying involved and this year I struggled to stay awake. As I asked in my last blog post: when did I get old?
One thing has already changed. Dubai can't pay their bills and got a loan from Abu Dabi but they did complete and will soon open the tallest building in the world. Forgive the weird angle, it is Google maps afterall.

The Burj Dubai is taller than even the TV tower in North Dakota. They might not be able to pay for it, but darn it, you're going to enjoy seeing miles and miles of sand in the middle east. I'll give Dubai credit, they might not be able to pay bills right not but at least they spent their oil money building a bunch of crap rather than hoarding it and enriching a few people. It's just to the East of the World in this map.
Flight is booked to Milwaukee for a few days before heading off to Jessica's family in Ohio. I fully intend to drink beer and eat German food in Milwaukee while going to a Marquette game.
Homemade tacos might be the finest food ever. I don't care if they are "easy" because I love them and I could eat tons of them before I get full. Gorging myself on tacos was an outstanding way to spend New Years Day. Mmmmmmm, tacos.
Blogging for today complete.
