Decade Campaign

One man’s effort to coin a word that will name this current decade.

Another day comes to an end, and it seems as though no one realizes that each day is a part of the past, a piece of history. This theory hinges on a certain perspective…today is yesterday in the future.

Sounds pretty complicated but Ryan Guerra is trying to live by that perspective. He is trying to look back on this current decade as it were over, like its the seventies. In doing so he comes to an abrupt halt, “How will we be able to comprehend and verbalize this decade?” asks Guerra. “We have no way to say this decade. We will be at a loss for words.”

He is right, how will newspapers and television news shows express this decade? Who will be the sports hero of the ?, Who will be the performer of the ?, What great event happened in the ?. Kind of leaves us hanging, don’t you think.

Time to catch up with Guerra who is already in the future looking back on this decade. “They are saying that this decade is the ‘Unies,’ they also say, the ‘Twenty-unies’.”

However, Guerra knows that this is just a perspective and that it will take some time for everyone to get to where he’s at.
