2009...Good-bye, or Good-Riddance?

What's your take on the past year...socially, personally, whatever...sad to see '09 end, or can't wait to see '10? Was a shaky year for my family, looking forward to a fresh start.

It's not really a fresh start though is it?

All the horrible shit from 2009 is still going to be there only it's probably going to be worse, plus you'll be older and have even less time to do something about the cumulating heap of problems you're in.

2009 was pretty much the worst year of my life. Glad that it's going to be over, but I think 2010 is going to be a shitter as well..

Looking forward to 2011, things will be sweet by then.

2006-2009 were some of the best years of my life, but I was burning the candle at both ends and it finally caught up with me - high blood pressure, and generally just feeling old and tired. 2009 has been the year I've had to mentally recategorize myself as an "old dude'; I've had to shift my thinking to start thinking about how to preserve what I've got rather than improve it, which is a rough mental transition to go through. I can see how some people have a mid life crisis.

So I've been trying to solve it the only way I know how, which is to pay a 19 yr old to be my concubine and do my cooking and cleaning, so I can live out my Peter Pan fantasy a few years longer, lol

To be fair, you've got this whole 'life' thing nailed.

Well, I fingered a 16 year old girl in the ass who was internet hot this year. I banged her when she turned 17 too.

2009 was alllllllllllright.

I'M FROM THE UK INTERNET, THIS IS LEGAL ^

it's funny, she's the one who said "I want one of the talking cats you have in America, like in the movie Garfield", and today when we were watching Transformers 2 asked if they have big robots like that in the US. It makes me feel like such a pedo...

Serious!? Is that how cut off they are? Or is she especially naive?

Good bye, 2009.

She's got street smarts but not much education to speak of. I bet it's more widespread than you think though, for people with little to no education to believe that cg fx are real...

That's quite depressing...

only if you tell them the truth

Do you ever tell the hookers about WATMM?

I've sometimes browsed with them, yeah, but they don't read English so really no point. But I've shared a lot of watmm gifs with them! So now watmm gifs are being passed from hooker QQ to QQ, and cellphone to cellphone - yegg et al should be proud :-)

i expect more ups and downs just like this year, in the year to come and every other one after that til the day i die.

that's life innit.

2009 was a lot better for me than 2008 in terms of general not-feeling-like-crap-about-life-ness.

although i haven't got fucking bladdered as many times this year, which makes me sad. i blame my degree and new preppie housemates. ugh.

waiting for 2012....

Easily the worst year of my life. Spent the entire year away from my friends and family, unemployed, broke and without a steady apartment until late august.

On the bright side, my creative endeavors have improved, i've met a lot of new people and learned that it's very easy to fuck yourself up, and it's important not to get too attached to things.

Deep post, man.

2009 has been pure shit.

To make a long story short my dad had an affair so my parents broke up. But it then turned out that my dad suffers from Frontotemporal dementia (which is like REALLY fast-paced dementia) which is why he has been doing some fucked up shit over the years. He was then put in a mental hospital for a week or so and he got back 2 months ago and things have gone nothing but downhill since then. Really downhill. He stays in bed all day and his behaviour is totally apathetic. Yesterday he was put in the hospital because he hasn't had anything to eat for quite a while. Yesterday my family and I visited him at the hospital and he was completely out of his mind. He told us that he was being watched through the fire alarm, and the doctors needed spanish interpreters to communicate with him and so on and so on. I visited him again today and things have gotten worse. He won't talk to us. He looks at us and and doesn't say anything but sometimes he repeats what we say word by word. He also peed his pants today and he didn't even notice. It's so fucking degrading because every now and then he knows that something is up and you can just see it in his eyes. The worst part about today was probably when I was told to push his wheelchair over to the mental hospital. Mothefuck! I felt like crying my eyes out but I won't do that in front of him. His skin is also turning yellow which means that his liver isn't doing its job. I just seriously hope that it won't be long before he can close his eyes forever. It's fucking hardcore to be saying that but I really mean it. I feel so fucking bad for him because even though he hasn't always been the best husband and father he still doesn't deserve this kind of shit. He's only 57-years-old and sitting among 80-90-year-olds.

FML.

I'm really sorry to hear that bro. Hard to know what to say without sounding completely insincere, but my thoughts are with you and your family.

never had a close family member die on me (although that's only because i don't know any of my family) although probably my best friend ever died ~6 weeks ago. he died totally out of the blue though, randomly collapsed at 23. obviously i miss him shitloads, but it hasn't yet really upset me. i've somehow managed to cope with it. i don't know how i'd have coped if he had ended up lingering on in some hospital like that. ugh. epic condolences to you for having to go through all that, and seeing your dad have to go through it. dying quickly and before you're decrepid FTW

2009 has been shit in every possible way..

fml too

I'm totally glad because now it's going to be so much easier to say what year it is. Up until this point it doesn't have a nice ring to say "Twenty-Oh-Nine" or any other number but now you can say "Twenty-Ten" instead of "Two-Thousand-Nine"

It's the little things that count.

i don't see 2010 being much better than 2009 except that Fred is posting more
