2010

Dear 2010,

I must say, I'm a little disappointed. As a kid, 2010 seemed so magical. Just saying "twenty ten" makes me feel futuristic, and yet, here I am, in the present... bored. I'm not shooting lasers at anyone and I'm not using any jedi mind tricks. When I hit 88mph in my car, I'm not brought back to the future, and when I want something cleaned up, I have to do it myself.... manually... I can't just press a button and out pops a robot with a broom and dustpan. Pretty much the only thing futuristic about you is that my phone has a touchscreen. Can we step it up a bit? Maybe at least adopt an earth-wide uniform that's tight and silver, and issue out dark sunglasses... at least something to give the childhood dreams inside of me something to work with.

Yeah, I agree. 2010 could be loads better. I remember back when it was almost 2000, my teacher told us that as a kid, he was always assured that by 2000 we would have flying cars. Now all they are worried about when making cars is how it will affect the environment. ha
