Since the end of the year is drawing near, people keep writing articles about the top 10 things that happened in 2010. I read one article the other day that listed the top 10 world events of 2010, such as the earthquake in Haiti and some other disasters, but the one that wasn’t on the list was the oil spill off the Gulf of Mexico. That kind of surprised me because that thing was freaking huge. I can’t seem to find the article so I can’t list the events exactly, but it included things like the death of the Polish president during a plane crash, the earthquake in Haiti, the 33 miners in Chile that were stuck and then rescued, etc. Damn, I wish I could find the article, but Google isn’t being my friend right now. Since this is a guilty pleasures blog, I thought I would list some fun top 10 things in 2010. Happy New Year!!! I will see you all next year.
