First day of 2012 in Los Angeles.
This year has been hard, but incredibly positive overall. I’ve done some amazing things in 2011 that I never imagined I would do. The big highlights include finishing my first full year at The New School and living in NYC, visiting some amazing places (including spending the summer in Guatemala), and quitting my job that I’ve had for more than 6 years. It hasn’t been easy but I also don’t regret anything.
And what more can you ask for?
I don’t have a clue as to what 2012 has in store for me, though I’m kicking it off with the Democracy & Diversity Institute in South Africa, which is not a bad way to start the year.
There are a lot of terrible things that happen in the world every day, but it’s important to see and remember all the good things too. As always, my amazing friends (old and new) have helped make this year amazing, and helped remind me that even when things suck, they don’t suck that much. And that yeah, we can actually change the world.
Here’s to 2012.
Communal bunkers offer the hope of surviving a near-extinction-level event, like the one many people say the Mayans predicted will occur in 2012. A new company offers the chance to take your life underground. There, peace and quiet — and the ability to survive an apocalypse — are assured, thanks to California-based Vivos.
Vault-Tec, anyone?
