So a decade has passed since the first year I got my hands on Half Life and all its glory. In the past 10 years, so many things have come to be. 10 years (in my simple eyes) seems like forever, partially because its just under half of my existence. So lets do a recap on some keypoints 10 years ago!

1999
Average Cost of a Gallon of Gas: $1.17
Average Cost of Rent: $645.00
Mike Tyson is sentenced to a year's imprisonment

President Bill Clinton is acquitted by the United States Senate in his impeachment

Oklahoma City bombing: The Supreme Court of the United States upholds the murder convictions of Timothy McVeigh.

Lance Armstrong wins first Tour de France.

Mark McGwire becomes the 16th member of the 500 home run club with a home run at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri.

Final Fantasy VIII is released in the United States
2009
Average Cost of Rent: $1072
Average Cost of a Gallon of Gas: $2.18

First African American president takes office

complexity starts a riot!

complexity ranks #1 in US! (future?)


i dunno to me, so much happened in the last 10 years that its hard to really think and put everything together... I threw out some general highlights from 10 years ago, but what have YOUR highlights been in any of the past 10 years?

    It's odd.. my rent is $625 for a 1 bedroom, 1 bath 1100 sq ft apartment.

    I pity the fools paying over $800

    Wow ecurb - Not sure how you swing that.

    I live in Delaware, I'm in a 3 bedroom townhouse + garage for 900 a month....I only got it for 900 bucks because the realtor is a friend... It was on the market for 1250
