Two Decades

So, April the seventh came and passed, and here I am, twenty years old now. Strange. I'm two decades old now. Frankly, I can't say that the view from twenty is any different than the view from nineteen, but I figure it's a good time for reflection. So I'm going to go through google and try to figure out what it was that I all lived through.

Enjoy.
