2011--What An Eventful Year!
Hello, hello--hello!
I'm writing my blog a little early this week, because the New Year starts Sunday, and, quite naturally, I'd like to take Sunday off. So, as 2011 officially comes to a close tomorrow night, we look back at what we all can say was a very eventful year, both in world politics and in nature.
First of all, I'd all say that we have to talk about that humongous earthquake in Japan that happened in March, which caused that big tsunami and that even bigger nuclear disaster at Fukashima, which still has ongoing ramifications to this day, and quite possibly, for many years to come. Some say it was just as bad as Chernobyl (which commemorated it's 25th anniversary this year), some say it was even worse. But one thing's for sure, the Japan triple disaster is one we all won't soon forget.
In the political news, three real baddies went on to their final rewards, which could be in a pretty hot spot, right about now. The first was the notorious Osama Bin Laden, whom we all know was responsible for 9/11 (which commemorated its 10th anniversary this year). The second was Mummar Kadafi, one of the biggest scheming despots of the Middle East. The third was Kim Jung Il, the biggest scheming despot of Asia.
And finally, I can't end this year-end blog without a final mention of the biggest, most shocking death of this past year, that of Amy Winehouse, who, no doubt, was the greatest singer-songwriter this generation ever had. That was the one death that I would say blew many people away and knocked many more for a pretty big wallop. I guess she should have gone to rehab. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's all for this week. Until next time, be well, stay well, remember the disaster survivors, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Sincerely,
Marley Sue
