A lot of amazing music was released this year.
And a lot of mediocre music by bands that I love enough I can overlook the fact.
Mmm

I had a wicked time becoming nastalgic for Pokemon, playing it to death, and then getting bored of it again and handing it off to my nephew as a Christmas gift

I've learned to juggle insulting The Man and working for The Man at the same time. It's a sort of game: I just have to keep an eye out for managers while I'm informing our customers about the Evils of consumerism

Wrote and read more this year than any year before it ever. Not all of it was good, but hey
Had a glorious 2-day-long relationship. Women are nothing but trouble

Nothing horrible nor wonderful happened World Events wise this year. Yay stagnation!

Otherwise, everything's how it was, and not everything was as it should have been. To the Future - Cheers! Hope's in it

Poised for a Zerg Rush on your Base
Good: At least tripled my skill in Smash, Assassin's Creed, 2nd Place National Medal in Martial Arts, Nearing end of 1st semester and getting all A's and B's, Placing in semi-finals of GNT4 doubles tournament at a local anime convention, (some) success with women (FINALLY)

Bad: Brawl Delay, Kane and Lynch being a disappointment, Sonic in Brawl, VISTA (must kill Bill Gates!!!), My favorite shows (24, Heroes, Bones, and House) delayed because of the writer's strike (although I support them 100%!!!), people caring about Britney Spears for some god awful reason, Ryan Seacrest still being alive (this is always a reason to be full of sorrow)

Resolution: Place in a Smash Tournament (Melee or Brawl, don't really care), get Brawl at midnight release, finish my independent web comic, finally exact my plan to murder Ryan Seacrest.

gotta say the same thing about you, ck.
Congrats. All I am saying is the strike is doing nothing but making Hollywood go broke. They are just going to raise DVD prices and movie ticket prices even higher and people will eventually STOP going to the movie or buying DVDs and just download them free online. Plus, I am against unions anyway.

EDIT: antimatter, I won't warn you as it will look I am warning your for your post, but don't post your signature if you are just going to post one line.

thank you for your reminder. i just want to say they just want a little money from internet writing and other "new media". that isn't that big of a deal in my opinion.
i'm just hoping some arrangment will be made soon.

It's quite a big deal, actually. They want more money overall, not just from the internet. They want more back from DVD sales, movie ticket sales, AND internet sales (which is very new, but actually profitable to the people selling it). The studios have no intention of budging because doing so will significantly hurt them as when you raise prices beyond what the market dictates, you affect the economy. If there is no excessive demand for DVDs, how can you really pay writers more and still break even. Same with movie tickets. They are both in such low demand nowadays so studios can't really afford to write off even more percent off their sales to writers.

Also, SNL writers went on strike. Those *******s should be glad they aren't lynched weekly for the tripe they write.

ok. now i see your opinion, and i can appreciate your viewpoint.
just saying, comedy central put every daily show on the internet right around the time of the strike. that seems to be a low blow to me.

Seems odd because I thought Jon Stewart was apart of the Writer's guild, but they have every right to scab. If a strike interrupts their business, and thus money, they have every right to hire people who WILL do the job.

This is way off topic. If you wish to continue this discussion, PM me.
