Fucl you, 2016!!

Post by KeenRush »

This year truly has been one of the worst, ever. It just keeps on giving: I just heard the news that our family cat was put to sleep because it fell really ill during the night, lost its vision and ability to walk/etc, the vet thought it was brain-based, a tumor or something... :( RIP.

This year has been both the best year and the worst year. We lost so many good friends, and made some new enemies. Really unfortunate.

I feel this an appropriate time to enlighten you all to the existence of the bounenkai.

Why am I not surprised that Japan has those? Quit being so relatably depressing Japanese! > :C

Hmm that bounenkai doesn't sound an awful lot different to what I do in Ireland... it usually involves a bottle of port, a few cigars, and the worst chat shows that British and Irish television can throw at us. All whilst lamenting/ begrudging/ ridiculing all that has let up to New Years Eve.

Sorry about your cat, KeenRush. A cat is truly a valuable presence in the home, often coexisting with people through their most formative years. My household never went in for pets but hopefully if one day I establish one of my own, there will be a cat and a doggie.

Regarding 2016, of all the celeb deaths I really feel most affected by Carrie Fisher there. Star Wars in its original form truly laid the foundation for the love of the sci fi idiom that made Commander Keen so appealing to me. It's especially sad given that we were right in the middle of a reprise of the series.

I approve of this. I also think I need to find my way to Ireland.

Yeah, probably. My personal guess is that Russia will annex (Trumplandia not caring) everything east of Germany and it's language school for me... Comrades. And a nuclear war before the end of the year... >:

2016 more like David Bowie's creating a new world and bringing all the cool people with him.

for me 2017 has been plagued by sickness, I have had so much time off work, I'm kicking myself, back during Easter I was off for 6 long weeks and that's not the end of it, BRING ON 2018!, I just want it to be over with!

2017 has been full of suckage in ways 2016 only dreamed of.

And oh hey! Possible nuclear war! THAT'D sure wreck 2018... and 19... quite a few years after that in fact! Guess perhaps I wasn't so bad after all huh? Maybe you've just got yourself into a crudhole you can't claw yourselves out of? D'YA MISS ME NOW? HUH? WHO'S SO HORRIBLE NOW WORLD?!"

If you want nuclear war. you only have to beg for it from one of two people, Kim Jong Un or Donald Trump, the two aggressive people who are not far from triggering World War Three, I'd never thought I see the day but then again I could be wrong
They said it'd never come, we knew it was a lie
All forms of life die now, the humans all succumb
Time to kiss your ass goodbye, the end has just begun, Set The World Afire- Megadeth, So Far, So Good, So What? 1988
Appears that Dave Mustaine might be right about World War Three, Even if the song is nearly 30 years old!
