Back to the beginning without you...

 Today, 21 years ago, in 2005, I made the first post to the Palace.   It's right here,  

It's just crazy to think that if my blog were a person, The Palace would now be able to legally drink alcohol. 

In June 2005:

#1 song: We Belong Together, by Mariah Carey

#1 tv show: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

George W. Bush was president

Tony Blair was UK Prime Minister

Paul Martin was Canadian Prime Minister

the orange shitgibbon was a theiving, rude, obnoxious, failed buinessman and 'star' of a mediocre TV reality show

The (ugh) New England Patriots was reigning NFL champion

The Chicago White Sox were on their way to winning their first World Series since 1917

The was no Stanley Cup winner due to a strike & lockout in the NHL

The San Antonio Spurs won the NBA finals.

In June 2005, the Ninth Doctor Who (Christopher Eccleston) regenerated into the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant). 

Michael Jackson was aquitted by a California jury of molesting a 13 year old

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, second daughter to the king Willem-Alexander, was born. 

I was in the my ninth year in my current job.  

I was 8 years living in my apartment and 4 years from buying my house.

My father, my mother's mother, and one of my mother's brothers were all alive.  They've all since passed.

As, as mentioned above, Polt's Palace was created. 

Twenty one freakin' years.......wow.......
