2011 ... good year, bad year ...eh?

Thoughts_Arrive

It sucked.
Apart from buying a house, it sucked.
Lost my job, in career limbo, family problems, personal problems.
Bring on 2012.

awesome year...

it was an average year....nothing terrible happened, nothing super fantastic happened. i can deal with that

seemed like it was the year of the unplanned expense

from a tie rod, to the A/C to half a dozen other things.

on the plus side....tailgates will never be the same.

One thing I'm noticing about this thread is that some of us are quieter about our bad years and some of us are noisier! :twisted:

I was raised not to complain so I tend not to say much when stuff is going REALLY badly.
Maybe I should re-think that approach and learn how to be a noisy complainer?! The squeaky wheel and all...

Well, I have to say, this year FLEW by, I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving.

As compared to 2010, when I lost a very dear friend in a very tragic, preventable accident, I’d have to say 2011 has been better.

I got a nice promotion at work and I know how lucky I am that I even have a job in today’s economy.

Didn’t see PJ this year, but I did get to see Ed’s solo show, so that will have to tide me over till next year.
I’ve never been one to celebrate New Years, it’s just not that big a deal to me. I am looking forward to a PJ filled 2012 though, so bring it on PJ.

Hey, you stealing my "eh?"

This year was a mix of both, with most of the bad in the first half, and all the good in the second half of 2011.

No complaints...atleast all the bad shit happened in the first 7 months, rather than the other way around.

That's the way I see it. :thumbup:

2011 has been an insanely shitty year for pretty much everyone I know. Friends' parents dying, my sister became a single parent, mortgage is always a chore to pay, didn't go on our annual summer Vegas trip

BUT it was the year of awesome concerts...PJ20 was definitely the best weekend of the year so at least there was that!!

Oh yeah and the Packers winning the Superbowl was pretty awesome too

Honestly though, I cannot wait for this year to be over. In fact I would just much prefer to be black-out drunk until January 1st.

I am SO with you on that.

I survived 2010 so by design 2011 was marginally better through some still very tough times.I plan to complete healing in 2012 ... and maybe even ready to do it all again :?

I've *never* been one for celebrating New Year's, always been my least liked holiday.

But this year? I may need to pay homage. Because this year fucking SUCKED.

Not just like meh there were good times and bad times. Like on a galactic level SUCKED.

I suppose in the grand scheme of things though, the fact I'm still alive right now means something went right I guess. While I feel like a jalopy barely keeping my parts together, I'm still moving. I keep trying to see silver linings. And there were some good things. But the things that were bad...sweet lord. It's like WTF man.

It's damn near broken me.

So yep, this sums my feelings up pretty much!

This describes my year perfectly. Could not have said it better.

This year has been a blah year...nothing good happened...nothing really bad happened. Honestly I can't really remember most of the year :? The days have all kind of blended together and I'm having trouble remembering how recently things happened. Jobs have both been going well...and that's probably the most positive thing that's happened this year...but in my personal life I've felt like a giant pair of ears (come dump all your problems on me), but when I go to speak, it's like no sound comes out because no one fucking hears me. I've felt totally disconnected and invisible. I'm not really sure what goals I even have for the future...aside from traveling more and seeing PJ...and telling a bunch of people to grow up and fuck off :thumbup: :wave:

It was an okay year until Hurricane Irene destroyed my house. Three feet of water because a dam broke near my town. I lost everything I owned including my car, but my dogs and I are alive so it's not all that bad. I got a new place and new start...so maybe it's the start of a great year coming

We should award someone the "Suckiest Year" award at the end of the year.

3 Solo Ed shows, Alpine Valley, seeing PJ20 in a theater with a bunch of hard-core fans - and then there's the book and blu-ray.

So pretty darn great on the PJ front.
Kept my job and house, even went to London/Paris & Amsterdam.
Going to the very private Club 33 at Disneyland for lunch in December.

Pretty awesome year for me personally.

There might be enough frustration against the oligarchy with Occupy Wall Street that some small iota of change might happen - but I doubt it. Disappointed there is still nothing substantial being done about the lack of jobs/offshoring of our future and the worsening of the environment to make me feel good about my kids' future though.
So less awesome globally.

2010 was hands down the best year I had ever had. Saw an unreal number of concerts including my first PJ shows, got into college, graduated high school, had the summer of my life, started an amazing freshman year at college and became even closer with my best friends. Funny thing is I made the worst mistake of my life so far during 2010 but all the good outweighs that no problem. I wish I could do 2010 over a million times.

So 2011 was gonna have to be RIDICULOUS to be better than that year. From January-mid July was a pretty good run. But since JUly in general this year has been sucky for me and I've been in a weird funk. So because it's been sucky as of late it's been hard to remember the good stuff from earlier this year. All I can hope for this that 2012 is a great year for me, and CERTAINLY better than these past couple of really rough months.
