Happy New Year!



2010 was a long year. The election was the usual politics in DC. A bunch of empty promises and lies from both sides. The economy was slowly recovering, slipped, slowly recovered. Unemployment pretty much stayed the same. The Cubs didn't win the World Series, we'll get it next year! The Bulls made the playoffs at .500. The Bears, as predicted, finished better than 10-6 (11-5) and won the NFC North as well as the 2nd seed. Dubstep and HipTronik are surging.



Personally, I went through many ups and downs. I still don't freaking know what I want to do after college. The most lucrative options seem appealing, but boring. The most passionate options seem appealing, but for how long? New year, new degree, new career. Maybe I should look into becoming president...?



The 112th group is now in session. My prediction for this year is that nothing will get done and everything that is done will be for political leverage. We're electing a bunch of rich people to debate about nothing. Even debates about debates are going to be prolonged.. Why can't we form more than 2 parties? Split the progressives from the liberals, the Tea Party from the conservatives. Competition breeds the best. Having two parties should give us better presidents than Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Carter, Reagan, Ford, and Nixon.. Obama is weak, Bush Jr. is stupid, Clinton is horny, Bush Sr. is misguided, Carter is stubborn, Reagan is fake, Ford is boring, and Nixon is a crook. Good job America.



The Bears will face the Saints at Soldier Field, beat them and then face the Falcons. If they beat them, they're going to play the Patriots in Dallas. I'm hoping they make a run and don't disappoint like in '06. Hester-mania!



The Bulls are going to limp into the playoffs as the 4th seed and rock the Knicks, but lose to the Magic. Magic vs Heat for the East. The Lakers are slipping up a bit, but I think they're going to pull it together in the playoffs.



The Cubs are going to be mediocre again and finish with a mediocre 80-80, but the future looks bright. (sounds very familiar)



Natalie Portman is back at it again. Black Swan was a great performance. Breaking out of her shell and expanding into different genres. Can't wait for her next movies to come out.

Norwegian Recycling is pretty good at their mashups. Check them out.

For 2011, my New Years resolution is to continue being lazy and smoking. No one ever keeps their New Years resolutions. Gotta love reverse psychology! Is it possible to break the habit this year?

JSung if you read this and wanna rip on me, gimme whatchu got.
