It's official I'm renaming 2017 The Year That Went to Shit. I originally named 2017 Orange is the New Black in a post on January 7, but when I updated it 10 days into the administration I made a comment that I might change the name to The Year that Went to Shit. These past few weeks have seen three hurricanes ravage the US, Texas (Harvey), Florida (Irma), and Puerto Rico (Maria). And last night in Las Vegas, NV was the worst mass shooting in the past 127 years (there were massacres of Indians that were worse), but definitely the worst mass shooting by a single shooter (over 50 dead, over 500 wounded). 

I could regale you on the other shit that has happened this year because of 45*, but I'll leave that as an exercise for you to find out.

2011 is almost over. It's been a year of tremendous change and suck. For me personally, not so bad. I expect 2012 to be even more turbulent. I've had a habit of giving years names. I'll have to look through my previous LJ posts to see what I named them. Generally, I wait a few months to see how the year is shaping up before giving it one. Well, I'm not going to wait. I'm going to call it now: 2012 The Year of Suck. That's probably wimping out. We've seen tremendous upheaval in countries around the world, the Euro Crisis, the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street. We've seen disaster after disaster, Texas mega drought, Hurricane Irene, Japanese tsunami and Fukushima nuclear meltdown.

I'll try to expand on my thoughts later, but don't hold your breath.

It's later. The only thing that isn't going to suck might be the movies scheduled to be released. Well, I hope not. Movie trailers often look better than the movie, but 2012 may turn out to be a banner year for films: The Hobbit, John Carter and Prometheus so far.
