So Friday sees the start of a new year and a new decade. Thank God 2009 is over, I don’t think I’m the only one who thinks its crap.
I spent a month in hospital, thanks to a blood clot just below my knee that really wasn’t treated properly at the start. It turned into a DVT and I end up on crutches for a staggering 29 weeks. I’m off them 4 weeks today, I’m still getting used to walking around.
So when I was feeling sorry for myself the rest of the population of Ireland were losing their jobs and going on the dole. When I was 18, I too joined the dole queue, the country was also in a pretty crap state but people still had hope. This time round though people seem extremely down.
A lot of things have happened this decade, looking back at world events it was the decade that changed the world. 9/11 sorted that, along with 7/7 bombings in London in 2005.Since the guy tried to blow up a plane on Christmas Day, we’re supposedly going to have to strip down to our underpants to board a plane.
I’m writing this on my blackberry, phones could just about SMS a decade ago. Now we’re always connected, if I didn’t have the BBerry I’d be completely lost.
