2011; the golden age of deficit and shite music.

If we were all to reflect on 2011 using our accounts books, we can simply sit and grieve. But how could we look back and see what we've achieved when something so momentous overshadows our lifestyle and hinders our plans for family members. We used to sit in the driver's seat of the economy, and as the West falls down a landslide, we must all reflect on the quote "If we want to succeed, we have to be more like China." True. But at what cost? Strip all of our human rights, being forced to work 42 hours worth of overtime and keep 50% of our savings buried with lock and key in hope for a rainy day; which on hindsight actually sounds very savvy! I digress. We must however and reminisce on the boom and bust we've recently powered through and tighten our wallets a little bit more, because this rollercoaster ride's going to get a bit wilder.

This year has experienced some incredible falls and rises, what with the travesty that's happened in Japan. The lady who was publicly decapitated in Tenerife. The phone hacking scandal, that worked at advantage in respects in knocking Murdoch down a notch. The riots in London. Gaddaffi's fall. Egypt's liberation and of course Bieber getting a girl pregnant.

Now as an insight to Twitter's trending topic "#bestalbumof2011" caught my eye, I was able to look through the public's opinion. And I have to say; you guys have shit taste! this year has produced some serious copious crap that all sounds the same as computers are producing them quicker and making it easier. My next blog entry will be analysing some serious music produced this year - Foo Fighters "Wasting light".

And so, 2012 is just around the corner and according to self acclaimed genius' on the internet, we're all going to die. So everything we've toward is obviously in vain. Don't worry guys, if we're making ludicrous predictions such as these - let me have a shot. I think that human rights will be placed in North Korea when Silvio Berlusconi introduces it through pictionary in 2013. But then again, there's a slight spanner in the works what with the world ending before then.
