The Official 2016 Can Go $@#% itself post.
Thought I would put this up here to see if it catches on.
2016 sucked. Bad.
A lot of the same reasons for many of us but others might have different stories as to why this year cant go away fast enough.
What makes you say that this year can go #%$@#$ itself?
For me it started with the death of my little brother, dealing with his passing, his service, a possible lawsuit.
In the middle of the year because of the grief and the stress and my state of mind it manifested itself into a physical condition which caused me to have to quit my job to heal.
Prince was emotional. One of my biggest childhood stars poof gone. That with my brother made me start questioning my own mortality and how much I missed the past.
Obviously the election. I mean really WTF america?
The minnesota vikings starting off 5-0 then taking a huge dump the rest of the season.
Finally to end off the year I got to put my kitty of 17 years to sleep. The right thing to do for sure but what a kick in the balls.
What about you? Was it the obvious stuff that made you hate this year? Was it something else? Something personal maybe you havent wanted to talk about?
All I know is that 2017 could get worse but its going to have to make a real effort to do so.
I won't post all the spoilers, the list is growing fast.

That thread was a real letdown. Hardly any mention of Trump winning the election as a cause of their misery. Mostly the kinds of things that get normal humans down--death in the family, etc.

You quit your job to heal? A job is a great healer. You have a purpose, a reason to go to bed, and a reason to get up and get shoes on your feet.

2017 isn't here yet and I'm already sick and tired of Trump winning. Looks like 2017 could really suck in that regard. :rofl:

Not to mention cash flow, which oddly enough, comes in handy at the mall.

Wallowing in their misery. That is what they do best. :mental:

Oh, for Dog's Kase!
I'm 20 or 30 years older, so I'll set aside musical taste differences. When I was a teen Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Mama Cass all died (Jimmi and Janis both in 1970). Prince was a musical icon? Jimmi, Janis, Morrison, and Cass were pop-rock demigods! Their deaths were sad, all because of various forms of self-destructive lifestyles. But I wasn't devastated. Rock icons who died in 2016? Try Keith Emerson and Greg Lake!
Your younger brother died (20- or 30-something)? That is sad! And I don't mean that scarcastically. I'm an only, no siblings. But:
* In 2003 my cousin, who was my next door neighbor, with whom I went through 12 years of school, for whom I was a groomsman and who was one of my groomsmen, died in a fiery head-on crash; with his wife; with his 10YO daughter; the other driver crossed the freeway median to hit him (not intentionally, probably asleep or intoxicated);
* In 1997 my Mom died of colon cancer after over 5 years of limited abilities due to two strokes;
* In 2004 my Dad died at age 90, a long life; living ~125 miles away, I could not visit him as often as I wished; in his small town, he was literally one of, if not THE, last of the men and women with whom he grew up; he was lonelier than I wished and could alleviate.
I could have said more than the above. I'm only in my early 60s, and probably half or more of my high school class has died, whether of stupidity or disease or tragedies like my cousin's. But it suffices. Death is part of life. To date, being born has a 100% death rate. How you've avoided knowing and dealing with that eludes me.
