I do not understand the Internet its rage about 2016, it has been a year like any other year on the planet. Politics have always been unstable, and the losing side has always been an angry sobbing hatespreading mass (in any nation, on any side) when their choice does not win. Famous people die in HUGE numbers every single year on the calender. The only difference is that those which you grew up with when you are aged 22 tot 36 have all reached the years of natural death, or shortened their lives by means of drugs and extreme living. It is nothing special or hatefull in terms of a "2016".

Because people need to connect what's happening with something. Using the same logic one could blame God for everything in 2016. Or maybe the Sun? Pluto? Ladybugs? Brutal Doom?

That does put a lot into perspective.

Hm.. perhaps I should go into magic myself.

This time last year, I was still reeling from Paris. I was certain that dark times were ahead. Now I'm back where I started, but this time I've got a feeling that things can only get better.

Want my thoughts on 2016? Given what happens in this video, I'd say 2016 really needs to chill.

I'm living and working in a really cool place so it's not all too bad.

...other than the fact that work's almost non-existent in December and January and I doubt I have enough to cover rent for another month, let alone all the bills I'm paying off.

Solar ladybugs of Yuggoth who play Brutal Doom are the worst.
