Top Tens of the Decade: 2003
2003 was a very interesting year for me. I returned back to my mom’s place after my first year of college, which was, of course, hard. I was 18 and wanted to go out to eat at four in the morning with like-minded 18 year olds. Towards the end of 2003, I decided to move to Russia and lead a monastic life for two years (seriously).

I pretty much thought he was a pussy until... Read More

And I do like the idea of reviewing the past decade and making a top ten of each year. So I’ve decided to do it. I will have to do it according to unorthodox parameters for lots of reasons.
