What have you done?
I was celebrating my fourth birthday.
I was raped by my dad on this date, exactly 10 years ago.
1999. Fuck. That was a bad year.
In that 10 years I discovered the internet, listened to a lot of music, watched a lot of films, read a lot of books, made and lost a lot of friends, made and forgotten a few enemies, gotten into a few fights, made music, tried to become a journalist, ended up sleeping on the street with a feeling of contempt for everyone, did quite a few drugs and been to more parties than I care to count, and even kissed 3 different girls.
Discovered my calling in life, which is to study mathematics and become another Hilbert or Poincare.
That was an OK year.
But make damn sure you don't ask me the same question next year.
Golden era of videogames right there. 1999 baybee.
1999 The economy got screwed up by ".com" fake businesses.
2009 The economy got screwed up by morons who lent money to buy overinflated house prices, and then imagined that the price would never go down, resulting a highly profitable foreclosure rather than a severe loss.
I was busy playing POKEMON BLUE.
Goddamn that was a good year.
I bought my Dreamcast on September 9th.
It was a day I shall forever remember.
In 1999, I was making stickman death animations.
Or was that 1998?
