We should all get medals for making it through the last twelve months, like At the End of Star Wars Medals. This has been one hell of a year, one that I don't know I would ever want to repeat again. I'm all for having change in life but it's been a tad too extreme for just about everyone I know. Thankfully, those who had to endure the loss of employment and/or a family member are on the mend and we're all looking forward to a better year.
Rather than get all wordy about the past year I decided to put all my true feelings into pixel.
Before you ask—because several people already have—here are versions for you to display on your various computer devices (wide, full, and phone).
Join the fray by reading through and commenting at the end.
Yay! Unfair PONG WARS!
I have to say it wasn't all bad, but i didn't have to move my family and my workplace by myself, either.
A lot of good happened this year to us.
Cheers! …and Happy New Year!
That is genius.
Brilliant. Very well done. Consider it stolen.
> A lot of good happened this year to us.
Very true Luke. I don't want to complain about everything this year but I certainly hope most of the extremes are behind us.
I look forward to seeing next years pixels!
Beautiful.
FLAWLESS VICTORY.
It definitely wasn't all bad but yeah, I could certainly do with a few less extremes next year. Good thing I'm due to have another kid the first week of Jan... Oh crap.
I suppose this is better than my take which is the waiting to respawn screen on Modern Warfare 2.
That bit of low self-esteem seems to never leave.
Yes, please. Nuke 2009. I can say I worked with a number of great people and that I'm grateful for that part. The rest of it, hit Delete.
2010, for me, looks to be so challenging that it hovers like approaching troops on a dark horizon. Chilling.
Here's to finding moments to savor, to laugh, to create, to do good work, to do good, to love and be loved, to feel joy.
Well, you could just Force Quit. ;)
Clever man.
Yeah 2009 for the most part was a roller coaster type year for me scratching and clawing and being exhausted and worried. 2010 already looks much better, figures that the world is going to end.
Amen.
Succinct as hell.
However, if the lessons of 2009 don't make us all steely-eyed missile men, I don't know what will.
