What do I expect for this new year? Personally, I haven't thought about it. I never thought beyond the year 2000, and "apart" from the Internet and smart stuff around us, little has been achieved of what we were expecting to come.
No trips to the moon, no end to wars or plagues or world famine. Well, the greatest thread at that time, nuclear war and posterior nuclear winter, has been partially vanished and the cold war exchanged into global warming. Anyway, as one guy said once, we all just believe in stereotypes and lies. And both are human fabrication.
What about 2011? Didn't run any marathon (apparently the latest mass entertainment among the breed of well-thinkers/doers that live in Barcelona/Catalonia), didn't discovered anything worth being mentioned, didn't climb any important mountain, or went to discover the South-east Asian jungle looking for red-haired monkeys or venomous reptiles. Lost time? No time being lived happily is totally lost, and I must say that 2011 was a pretty happy year, specially from November 23rd.
Summing it up, 2011 has been a decent year for me and my closest ones. However, I'm planning in doing something really astonishing before the end of 2012, as I used to do when I was 10 years younger. What? Don't know yet.
