2014- it was a year.
On a personal level, 2014 will always be the year I lost one of my best friends. Barbara Jo, I still miss you and always will. Life is so much more duller without you around, and I'll see you in the next life.
On every facet of life, there are good points and bad points. 2014 seems like the bad points were brought out in full force.
Politics (federal)- Gridlock reigned supreme, unless they were cutting dealsto help out Wall Street.
Politics (local)- Eric Garner and Michael Brown put a spotlight on a rift between the police and the citizens
Entertainment- One great Comedian (Robin Williams) took his own life, due to depression and health issues. Another great Comedian (Bill Cosby) has been credibly accused of multiple rapes.
And yet- good points can be found. The economy is improving (more slowly than I would like, but it is going int he right direction). Gas prices are falling. Technology continues to improve- from solar panels that achieve 40% efficiency to breakthroughs in graphene. Hell, we even landed a spacecraft on a comet.
But right now, it seems like the low points of 2014 stand out more.
Here's hoping things get better for 2015.
