Another Top Ten? 'Eff it.

Since it's the end of another calender year, everyone (including me, see below) feels the need to do a top ten whatever (unless you are Vh-1 who always ups the ante with their 40 most awesomely best/worst something or other)

There is a countdown for everything. Top ten apps of the year, top 10 newcomers to movies/tv/music, top ten new gadgets, the best meltdowns, best comebacks, the news moments, bla bla bla. Sometimes the top ten is actually a worst ten, which can be interesting, so there's that. And I admit, these list are a little guilty pleasure of mine.

But since were entering the year 2010, there seems to be this urge to do not only a top ten of the year, but a top ten of the decade. Decade, as in the past 10 years. ::insert groan of unwilling participant::

I can do the end of the year thing. It requires little memory space and invests little long term interest. But the decade? Yeah, I stopped trying to remember things July 14 2003. Something about margaritas and my 21st birthday....
