It's Not Over 'Till It's Over -
07 Dec 1999
It seems to me that there is a very small portion of the population that is out
to ruin every one else's Y2k party. In thirty some-odd days something is going
to happen that has never happened before, ever. Four digits are going to change
in the year column. Most people alive today only remember two changing at a
given time. This event, I think, is really cool. And that's what people are
going to celebrate this New Year's Eve. It's a novelty.
So, explain to me why some of you smart-asses are trying to convince people that
it's nothing to celebrate. So what if there was no zero year and the millennium
doesn't begin until 2001? YOU can celebrate whatever you want, but leave me
alone with your silly zero year drivel. You didn't complain when we claimed 1900
as the first year of the century. You said nothing when everybody decided that
1990 should be the first year of the 1990's (Imagine that!). So, Why start
complaining now?
I think I figured it out: You’re frustrated, because you weren’t invited to a
millennium party. You want every body else to wait a year while you try to get
some friends. I really can't think of any other reason why you should try to
tell me not to call my party a 'millennium party' this year. I'm not saying that
you're wrong, I'm just saying that I don't care. No offence, of course.
