Aside from the lack of a job thing still, fan-f***ing-tastic! I graduated from college, I had a lot of fun attending NBA playoff games(my first ever NBA playoff games, mind you), nothing bad has happened to me. Really the only thing that would've made this year better was if I DID get a job. And now everything(except for a girlfriend, but that's not a deal breaker) is complete. I now have a job. So 2011 has gotten even better for me.

Fairly good, getting all As in my exams in May was really good, but nothing really important has happened aside from that.
I'd give it a low B.

Well, my cat died. That was the worst thing that happened this year.
Good things: I've lost some weight, I finally have a hairstyle I like and I have a new niece and nephew.
So, not a bad year, I guess.

There was another good thing that happened to me this year: Becoming an uncle. My sister gave birth to her first child and I love that baby to death. My nephew is so precious.
Like I said, this year was not great but there were some good points.
I did work for a few months before getting furloughed. So I did have a job for a little bit. I was in school, but I have seen better semesters for me.

The year got off to a terrible start as I lost my dad on January 10th, his death was unexpected and it put a dark cloud over the rest of the year which I feel has still not completely lifted.
Any semblance of a social life I had prior to this completely fell apart, due to my own making, I pretty much withdrew from all social situations, even online...I rarely use Facebook or Twitter these days. I do aim to become more social again next year but these past 12 months I've just needed my own space.
This may sound all negative but the weird thing is I feel stronger and more at ease with myself than ever before. I feel that this year I've learned alot about myself and I've learned to like myself more. I feel more fearless and I like that feeling.
The latter part of 2011 was more productive, I tackled some outstanding issues and the things I did not get completed I feel more confident about going into the new year.
Another plus was going to New York to see Survivor Series at MSG, I've always wanted to see a WWE show at the Garden so I'm very happy about that.
Another plus was getting two lovely new cats who are wonderful company and never fail to bring a smile to my face.
I've still got my mother in my life who's stuck by me throughout everything, the best friend I've ever had and probably will ever have.
My Gran is in her 90's and for her age she's remarkable and i'm happy she's still around.
The only thing that really upsets me right now is the sense that apart from my mother and my gran my family has fallen apart, I'd hoped that my fathers death would bring certain people closer together but that's not been the case.
You cannot choose what life throws at you but you can choose how you react to it. I'm choosing to take any negative crap from this year and spin it into a positive as I go into 2012. If life is going to throw crap my way it's going to do it whether I'm happy or a depressed mess, I went down the depression road many years back and I promised myself I'd never go down that road again, so I may as well try and tackle each day with a smile and spin any negatives I can into positives.
So yeah, 2011 was a strange one, it certainly wasn't good but I'm not entirely sure how I'll look back on this year in the years to come, I'd like to say that when my life is all said and done 2011 will go down as a year I found some much needed inner strength I was previously lacking that went towards making a better future for myself in the years that followed.

WStarted of very slow with my dad complaining about not having a job, was on welfare for 4 months, then finally got my first professional job at the end of summer. It was a good year for me. Other than that, I have found a new love for electronic events and karaoke since I have made new friends and reconnected with the old ones thanks to them.

Eh, mixed bag here. Moved back home, found a job, found myself single after almost 5 years at the end of the year, overlapped with Invader Dave's year and we partied at CHIKARA in Chicago and DGUSA. Got a little closer to my accomplishing my dreams, which in the end will make it a good year, I think.
