The world sure feels smaller than when I was 6 years old in the millennium year aka year 2000 when the Australian Olympics Games was held that year, it sure was a smaller world then and I'm amazed I remember a fair amount from that far back age bracket of my memory banks - there were PC computers yet no small electric notebooks or electronic whiteboards - only chalk, blackboards, texters and smaller whiteboard.
Anyways. And sure Backstreet Boys and NSYNC and space themed bubble gum music was all the rage/trend. Anyways.
In 2024 this is my 8th Olympics in my lifetime so far at 30 years old and 7th that I've actually watched aka television. Anyways.
Thoughts folks or friends? Hasn't the world sure gotten smaller and some would say uncomfortably smaller. The tech changes are and is still cool though.

If I had to choose a favorite or noteworthy year, it would likely be 2004.

I remember these times as being more normal, tranquil, and full of nostalgic and fun memories.

In year 2004, I lived in a suburb within Knox County, TN called Farragut. This area was always known to be more upscale and more affluent. Many upper middle class families lived here. At that time, the town was not busy, bustling, or sprawling with people, yet it was not too rural and definitely not empty. It was just right I suppose.

I was around 10 years old and in the 3rd and 4th grades. I had a best friend named Nick whom I used to go over to his house and hang out. He had a PS2 and loved to skateboard. I was always jelly of Nick because all the girls liked him more haha.

Life as a kid was more simpler those days. We had technology but it didn't dominate our lives. I remember somewhere around that time iPods were cool. I remember Gameboy SPs and the GameCube. I loved to play Super Mario Sunshine, Zelda Windwaker, and Crash Bandicoot Wrath of the Cortex. Overall, we could find joy in playing outside while also watching cartoons and playing video games. I liked Codename Kids Next Door; Dexter's Lab; and Ed, Edd, and Eddy. This was also the era where SpongeBob was still good (it went downhill after the movie).

I remember I had an awesome, fun babysitter. We used to be goofy and make noises. I remember her showing me a website called farts. com that had a spoof video of Britney Spears called "Oops I Farted Again." We used to bust out laughing so hard we couldn't breathe and were crying.

I don't remember my parents struggling financially at that time. My parents were happily married and I used to play in the backyard and had a clubhouse which I learned later on my dad really built as a storage shed.
