Much like Vaporman, 2016 had it's ups and downs. Both school semesters were kind of rough, and I managed to find a summer job that is both slow paced boring and simultaneously fast paced stress filled at the same time.

However, I got to visit Philadelphia and meet other users of this site in person. I'm also in good health so I can't really complain much.

It did. Probably the shining star of the year was that trip. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. 

If this year doesn't hurry up and end, I might go insane like Martin Sheen did in the opening of Apocalypse Now.

Seconded. It was an awesome time!

my 2016 was a big layer of meh in between 2 slices of suck

It's almost over.... just a little... more...

2016 is indeed the year of loss. My wife's aunt died today of cancer.

Like any other year there was ups and downs. Nothing catastrophic happened in my personal life, so I'm glad. This Monday, January 2nd I'm packing up my car and driving from California to Pennsylvania which is a hell of a way to begin the new year. I plan to put 2017 in a Steiner Recliner though, time to start fresh!
