The Worst Things

1. The end of Capitalism as we know it
2. Huntsman cutting funding on snowplowing and thus making driving in the snow a very hazardous occurance
3. Increasing the cost of tuition
4. The crazy cold hand rash development
5. The continuing popularity of Reality TV
6. Breaking Dawn...I couldn't finish it because it was so badly written.
7. Twilight (the movie) 30 seconds of an intro for a Collective Soul song that does absolutely nothing for the movie, it just felt sloppily put together
8. The Economy, this includes and does not limit to people applying for mortgages and getting them too easily, people withdrawing money from stocks and going back to the mattress mentality and the stimulus checks that only delay the inevitable.

Thats my list for the year, and as the worst is only 8 items comparable to 38 of the best, I feel I have done the year justice.
