Hey 2012.
Just a few things on how to be awesome. First, some general points:
1. Try not to be a dick with the natural disasters. 2011 REALLY messed that up in an epic fashion. We're still recovering from those and we don't need more to deal with.
2. Get that global economy back on track. It'd be nice.
3. America kind of sucks right now, can you make it suck less? I know 2011 kinda screwed us over with the batshit crazy GOP presidential candidates and a sitting president who's less than hopey-changey these days, but you can do better.
4. Take advantage of that whole Mayan calendar ending thing. "The world will end as we know it." That's not a terrible thing, because the world as I know it isn't full of rainbows and bunnies and Nyan cats.
5. Keep the internet memes coming.
Personal points:
1. Related to the America-sucking-less point, I need Japan to suck less as well. I'd like to live there for a while longer without wanting to gaijin smash everything.
2. 2011 gave me all these great new wonderful people in my life. Keep that up, I like having funny kids in class and people to see on the weekends.
3. My family is happy and healthy. My friends are happy and healthy. I'm happy and healthy. Keep that up.
4. 2011 was a Rabbit year and I did all right, but 2012 is a Dragon year and that's kind of frightening. Make sure it doesn't eat me alive.
5. More j-boys. Sandaime J Soul Brothers is like the best thing ever, thanks to 2011. Top that.
And just so you're not alone in this, here are some things I'm going to strive for:
1. Pass JLPT N3 and improve my Japanese all around.
2. Expand my social circle in Japan. And not at international mixers, those are terrible.
3. See, do, experience more. I want great memories and stories, not useless stuff.
Let's do it, 2012!
Ganbatte!!!
