2010 - worst year of my life

It all started with the financial crysis in my country which contributed to the downfall of my earnings as a lawyer, then my grandfather died, and the last and most important thing, about a month ago my mom got arrested for a petty crime which was provoked by the prosecutors.
So how was 2010 for you?

I'm sorry for your problems and hope the economy picks back up in your country.

I've had joys and sorrows like pretty much all of my adult years. My mother is in the final stages of Alzeheimers. She lost the ability to walk, says almost nothing, and sleeps almost all of the time. We have trouble waking her to eat now and it is difficult to feed her since she hardly opens her mouth to eat. Soon we will have to feed her through an IV. Her body is shutting down as her brain is dying. She has always been a fighter and has lasted longer than the doctors predicted. One of my uncles passed away in January, which was the first death in my family in quite some time. My people all tend to live very long lives.

On the bright side, I am a grandfather and a great-uncle so there are little ones for me to spoil. I have expanded my buisness in a nearby city requiring me to work long hours to get firmly established, but the financial security of my family is in good order. And I am blessed with a bearutiful, hard working, and wonderful wife who is the light of my life.

I've found in life when you are going through hell keep on going. One step at a time.

Good grief, I'm really sorry to hear that.. I hope you are keeping a clear head about the future, sometimes when it rains it pours.

Not a lot I can say, this was my last year before army so I used it to tie some loose ends and do things I had not until this point. I had let time slip a bit.. All things considered it has been an enlightening year and I'm looking forward to what happens next.

I hope everything turns out well for you. Sorry to hear some crooked bureaucrat is making life harder for your mom senselessly while everything else is tough.



I don't want to talk about the bad things that happened this year to my family. I don't want to think about then, some were pretty horrible.

At least I have my children to think about.

I will be gald to see the back of 2010 as well. My mum was diagnosed with lung cancer with secondary brain round about March. My husband lost his year long battle with cancer in July aged 43. Then this week my mum had a fall and banged her head resulting in 10 stitches to a deep gash at the back of her head and now she is in hospital. The doctors have said that the fall has caused a lot of damage. She can barely use her left side now and has been told she only has a few weeks left at most. She will never go back home as not safe so probably be fast tracked to a nursing home.
The only good thing to come out of 2010 was having Aculias come into my life hes been amazing and helped me in many ways.

This was a year I would not wish on an enemy. I've been fighting a painful unknown form of Arthritis for a decade now but it really picked up steam recently. That's why some here may have been disturbed to suddenly see me posting like some maniac noob. I have run out of ways to fight this stuff, so I try to get lost for a while in the world of HoMM.

But, I have to say, I've not lost my heart, because it goes out to each of you here that have suffered loss. I would rather go through my stuff, than what you all have. Having it be someone else, is something I want to avoid. I've had plenty of those times already and nothing is more difficult for me.

Shyranis you are right about the Children. They are the best medicine God gave us, if we are wise enough to understand to walk with them for a bit...no matter what is going on. Btw, I now believe it could be "any" children, it does not have to be our own.

so ok, basically, 2010 was the worst year ever for everyone, as probably were 2009, 2008, 2007... and will probably be 2011, 2012...

I must say that many bad things happened to me as well, but not that bad (funerals or diseases). But also few good things happened to me. I made* it to college/faculty this year, despite many difficulties...

What I want to say is that life is composed of good and bad things and it is important to look things with optimism no matter how dark things are.

Happy New Year! In new year we go hoping for better and brighter future!

2010 was my worst, but also my best year. I lost some friends, made new ones, met one person I think and hope I'll be friends with forever. I felt despair, I felt joy, I felt anger, I felt sorrow, I felt happiness and togetherness.

Overall it's been a decent year. Not the best, but not the worst. I wish for 2011 to be better though.

Remember, life is balance. You'll never know how great it can be, unless you know how bad it can get.

In 2010 I experienced both and I'm hoping 2011 will consist of more great times than bad.

Edited by xerox at 05:32, 02 Jan 2011.

this is how I remember 2010, both what happened to my life and the rest of the world

January: Wasn't this when the Haiti catastrophe happened? Because I clearly remember myself thinking "So this is the start of 2010. I wonder what this says for the rest of the year."

February: Lol, I don't remember anything. Oh, wait. Sometime around here was one my best friends birthday. We had so much fun that night. We watched a movie or two, poo-porn lol xDD, ate tacos with my friends "own sauce" as he called it and had a very nice time too. My other friend also had his birthday in January and then we watched the excellent horror film Dead Silence. Oh, it was AMAZING! We also ate tacos. Lol. Swedes love tacos more than anything else. Maybe Pizza is better. And El Maco on McDonalds in January. But JUST MAYBE.

Mars: Nothing special happened here.

April: My 15th birthday. Honestly, I do not even remember that we celebrated anything special. I do not really care for birthdays when ti comes to my own.

May: Midsummer I guess. Don't remember much else lol. Meh, I raided a lot in WoW but I don't think that interests you. 50% of the interesting drama happened there anyway.

June: Summer break! Was fun because this is the first summer I was actually getting social thanks to Skype (which might have saved my life from depression and suicide lol).

July: Schummer. I recall that I was in Stockholm at some point and ate a delicious dish. Oh, wasn't this the month were our Crown Princess Victoria got married with the peasant Daniel Westling? Oh, yes it was! And it was HUGE! I felt like living in communism because there was like 1% critiscm against the monarchy and like 99% praise from the media. But I sure was in Stockholm when they got married and millions of people were probably at the same place and it was just an amazing feeling but during the next marriage, I will make sure to bring my glasses so I actually see something.
And the figher planes, JAS 39 Gripen (Gryphon), were sooooo cool and the navy (which is like one boat in sweden lol) were also there and the Norwegian and Danish royal family had sailed to Stockholm in their royal boats which looked amazing and it all felt like a fairytale! I remember that the norwegian boat looked AMAZING. Or was it the danish? :S

August: School happends and in Sweden, everything was centered around the 2010 elections. Yes, this was an election year in Sweden. It was here that I became interested in politics and I spent hours trying to find my political party. At first, I was convinced that the extreme leftish party that have been communists Vänsterpartiet was the perfect choice but as time went, I started to hate them. Mainly because of their terrible and immature leader Lars Ohly. I started to go more and more to the right and I couldnt decide between the liberal party, Folkpartiet, with their good immigration/intergration focus but harsh school policy, Moderaterna who cared much about jobs which I thought was the most important issue in Sweden or the Centerpartiet which is supposed to be in the middle of left and right and is like the enviromentalists on the right.
In the end, I thought Centerpartiet was the best and the ones I agreed the most with.

September: I think the election day was this month. Anyway, school had started and obviously it was focused on the politics and the elections. I thought this was great fun and super interesting and got the highest grade in politics/society.
In Sweden, the "nationalistic extreme right" party Sverigedemokraterna (The Sweden Democrats) seemed to get 4% of the votes and as such, get into the parliment.
The media quickly tried to use their powers to stop this and it was ridiculous propaganda. They had campaigns all over facebook etc and it was basically a witch hunt on Sverigedemokraterna.
Because of the medias and as such, many people's flawed views on Sverigedemokraterna i started to like them (plus that immigration/intergration is a huge problem in this country). In the end, I convinced my mum to vote on Centerpartiet though and as it turned out, Moderaterna and their Alliance won the election and our leader Fredrik Reinfeldt would be the first Moderat to rule in an 8-year period. So the right block won and Sverigedemokraterna got in. I thought the results were incredibly successfull and amazing. Not only had we got a new,  much needed and EXCITING party into the parliment but the foolish and dumb other candidate, the woman Mona Sahlin and her "friends" Lars Ohly etc did not get to rule.
I remember that me and my mum placed a bet on when Ms. Mona Sahlin was going to resign. Because it always felt that she just wanted power.

October: School, school, school. Halloween I guess?

November: Mona Sahlin like admits that she will resign at this time I think. I won the bet over my mum.
At this point, the Shattering patch comes to WoW and I get hooked on the game again.
I also am on my first real Job practise here. I got, through school, to work at a food store called ICA which is huge in Sweden for two weeks. It was great fun and it was a very healthy experience for me to work for the first time in my life. In the first days, I was EXHAUSTED and I was in my mind DYING physically! I actually was sick abit in the first week but the second week, my body had already adapted and it was fine. They were so nice and kind there.
I also think this is when my mum got her new boyfriend and my life totally took a turn. Like a month after they had met, they would get engaged and apparently marry next year.
Sure, he is great compared ot other guys she has met but he is still dumb aswell. Or maybe not, he has his own company though and has quite the salary... lol His house is beautiful but the first time I was in his house, I had to do something very very dirty in secret so that I could mark my territory. I feel sorry for one of his sons but he is only there once every two weeks. No, I WONT say what I did! I think its against the rules too.
Also I think I saw Harry Potter 7 this time and it was the best Harry Potter movie.

December: Cataclysm comes out the 7th of December and in 2-3 days, I am max level (and I did go to school!). I get super hooked on WoW and still kind of am. Anyway, I know you hate WOW so I wont mention it again. In school, I had a strategy to get my music grades higher. I was going to join the choir. The choir for Sancta Lucia which is a sicilian catholic holiday celebrated in non-religious but yet protestant and muslim sweden. Yeah, it makes perfect sense.
Either way, it was great fun to be in the choir even though we sung our part wrong lol.
After the Lucia show in front of the whole school (which felt epic), we got to sing to The Demented patients that live close to our school. I rember that as a kid, there were rumors that they would be lurking in the tunnels under the school and they were described as zombies lol so we were a bit terrified to go up there and sing for them. But it went fine! And even though half of them sleeped, they looked very happy that we had come from them and it felt amazing to make them feel that way. I felt like a very good person then.
Then Christmas came and I had already gotten my big present, my first touch screen Android phone and it has been great! Now I cant live without it! It has everything!
I also got money equalent to about 200 euro so since I am no big spender, that will last atleast untill my birthday in April. I also got three shirts even though I need pants. But im happy anyway. And probably over a kilo of chocolate. Yes, they know I dont exercise and want to make me fat. I hate them. I wanted crisps!

So as I remember it, it seems like the first half of the year was decent and the second half was great with lots of things happening to me.




edit: oh god, I remeber that my mums grandmother was about to die and we went to her house and shes like ancient and she smells death itself or atleast, she as an AURA OF DEATH
you feel like shes like an undead but shes gonna face her true death any minute! and at the day we were there, she had to go to the hospital and now lives there! so we expect that she will die soon and I guess there are some discussions about inheritance now etc
allah it feels horrible now lol discussing what to do with her money and house and stuff
and it feels weird that we just got to take toys and stuff from her house but I did not want anything, because it would feel weird to me to just take stuff from the house of an old lady that is about to die
I dont not believe in anything paranormal or religious but it still felt wrong to see us, what I saw as, "steal" her stuff
