Welcome to October which just so happens to also be the month where I celebrate a birthday. This year I decided to take a look back at the past few years and see what happened when I was ___.
You would think that, turning 21, I did the requisite drinking binge with friends. I didn’t. I did hit Vegas, though…
When I was 21 years old:
- William Jefferson Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd President of the United States
- The Dallas Cowboys won the Superbowl
- Dateline NBC rigged some cars to explode for dramatic effect & got sued by GM
- A bomb exploded outside the World Trade Center
- Waco, Texas happened
- Intel shipped the first P5 Pentium chips
- The Bulls won the NBA Finals
- NASA lost radio contact with the Mars Observer 3 days shy of when it was supposed to enter Mars orbit
- Y2K was mentioned for the first time
- China tested a nuclear bomb
- Windows 3.11 was released
- Doom was released
- Audrey Hepburn died
- Knightfall happened
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine debuted in syndication
- Walker, Texas Ranger debuted on CBS
- The X-Files debuted on Fox
- Also on TV was SeaquestDSV, Lois & Clark & Animaniacs
- Jurassic Park roared onto movie screens
- …so did Army of Darkness
