2020 was the year where evil reigned supreme and poor, often malicious, decisions were promoted like crazy. I learned that I do, in fact, have a strong dislike for the common man, and I’ve never felt more alone in my thinking, although I know that I am not actually alone; just outnumbered.
Clearly, I thought 2020 sucked donkey balls, but it wasn’t all bad. I’m going to list twelve things that I liked about this year. Why twelve? No reason really, there are twelve months to a year and that seems like a good number; not too many, not too few. Here is what I liked about this year:
My Exhaustive List of All Positives Happenings for the Year 2020!
- I read/watched all of Negima! and UQ Holder!
- I watched and enjoyed far more anime than I otherwise would, including: Fruits Basket (2019); City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes; Dirty Pair; The Disastrous Life of Saiki K; Cowboy Bebop; Mob Psycho II; Birdy the Mighty: Decode; Tokyo Godfathers; and Riding Bean. I probably missed some.
- I read Shaman King. It was cool. There will be a new anime for it so maybe I’ll watch it when it comes out.
- I saw Sonic the Hedgehog in theaters TWICE! I’m like Sonic a lot, so I’m glad the movie was decent AND there will be a sequel!
- I got to spend less time at work. I spent a lot of time at work the past few years. My body feels less beat and I’ve had more time to spend on things that I enjoy. I realized I wasn’t spending much time doing what I wanted to do. Why?
- Because I got out of debt! No more student loans and no more car note. I can breathe now, but I had to work my ass off for a few years in order to aggressively pay it down. But at least for the moment there is one less thing to aggressively rape my time and money. I like to think it was worth it.
- I bought a 3d printer! I actually just got it a couple days ago and haven’t used it since putting it together. I don’t have many ideas of what to use this for, but there are a few that interest me. I wouldn’t have bought this if I had a car note and a full work schedule.
- I bought a MODE from Terraonion, which will let me enjoy many more Sega Saturn games than I have been able to since I got the Saturn as a child. I got the MODE a day before the 3d printer arrived and my Saturn wasn’t displaying video, so I might have to buy a new Saturn, but between the MODE and learning of the Polymega, my hope of Saturn accessibility was revitalized this year.
- I watched Uwe Boll’s Rampage trilogy. I very much enjoyed the experience. I’d be more likely thank Bill Williamson than I would a nurse, I’ll tell you that much!
- I got to experience open, deserted streets. Driving had never been more enjoyable.
- Don’t hate me for saying this, but I was fortunate enough to spend less time around niggers. It’s been years since I’ve been exposed to such small minuscule amounts of ghetto/grimy shit.
- I’ve got a new collection of Japanese music chicks to stan including Seira Kariya, Ai Otsuka and Non (whom I very recently discovered.)
There you have it, that is my list of every positive thing about this year. But now that I think of it, I did make a few cool pieces of art that I wouldn’t have made had I not been asked, so that was positive. In fact, I’m wearing some of that art on some slide-on sandals I ordered recently. And in case you’re wondering, no, I don’t wear them outside of the house and yes, I ALWAYS wear socks. as far as next year goes, I’m thinking I’ll make a music album. I don’t know anything about music, but it seems fun.
P.S. I totally forgot to mention that I bought and fired my first gun this year! It is an airsoft gun, so that’s why I forgot probably, but I had a good time shooting it. This should be one of the positive twelve, but I’m not redoing the list. Also… I’ve been watching less wrestling lately, which is cool, because suddenly I have more time now. And I’ve tried beef jerky for basically the first time. I love it!
