Happy New Year’s Eve eve, matey!
Aka 2017 is only two days away, aka the end of this year. This year of the Gregorian calendar. Which means 2016 is almost over, which means this is the last Weekly Email Blast of 2016.
For many people, 2016 as a year has mostly been not good. The internet would definitely agree with that. Lots of not good things did happen this year: the war in Syria got worse, Britain left the EU, Trump was elected President of the US among other not great things. The last two vary depending on which side of the argument you were, but 2016: mostly not good. Several gifted famous people died, ₹500 & 1000 notes died, and other things that will bum you out. But if you ask me, the year wasn’t all garbage. I’d say 2016 was alright. Now, put down your pitchforks, and hear me out.
The Paris Climate agreement was signed, Leo DiCaprio won an Oscar, India did alright at the Olympics, Tigers and Pandas are no longer endangered. See? Even Pandas are gettin’ some. Humpback whales? Not endangered. AJ Styles became the WWE champion, Goldberg returned, there were some great movies and TV shows. There was a new Harry Potter and a new Wimpy Kid book. Both were meh, but they were there.
This was another superb year for me too. I realised socialising can be nice, travelled a lot, read a lot, met Jeff Kinney, met more dogs, petted more dogs, and had a blast in general. I also sent 53 Weekly Email Blasts this year. Swig of beer to that.
I’ll be up tomorrow night watching 2016 die. It’s a change of date, that might ring in a better year. So here’s to a lit 2017.
Cheers. Tis, mate was the Weekly Email Blast, email 93. The last one this year. Happy holidays !!!
