Wasn't it already Wednesday last week?

Wait, what was I talking about?

Ah, yes, 2011 - we only knew you for... 11 months so far. It seems like just this last December we were looking ahead to 2011 thinking it would be a better year. We thought this time things would be different - some of us may have even made resolutions as such. Perhaps for the first week or two of January it seemed like there really was a brighter future in 2011, but we were wrong.

Entropy fans everywhere are standing up and giving an ovation for yet another year passing by without any forward progress. We're still in debt (USA), China is still communist, California is still connected to the mainland, and Steve Jobs is dead. Last year we were treated to wonderful news about the alleged aquatic funeral for a dead terrorist leader and we rejoiced in mandatory elation, but this year came with no such tactical announcement. Instead, this year will end with the biggest news story being the new season for a dozen pointless reality shows and continued pseudo-concerned political debate.

Maybe things will be better in 2012? I heard the world is supposed to end sometime next year, so that's something. It's also a leap year which will make February one day longer. There's supposed to be a Presidential Election next November, but I'm hoping the world ends before that happens so we don't have to sit through the Mister President Pageant again.

If the world doesn't end next year and we make it to 2013, will any of you really remember anything from 2011? Unfortunately since I don't imbibe alcohol, I'll probably retain some memory from this lackluster year, so I'm hoping something good happens this month. I'll end on that hopeful note.

Good luck in 2012, Newgrounds. You'll probably need it.
