Happy New Year!

Raise your glass to 2016! Instead of being that constant ray of depression, let me take you into sunshine and new beginnings! All over social media, people are tired and frankly pissed off at seeing ‘new year, new me’, even ‘new year, same shit’ is getting old. Let us look at the highlights of 2015 and decide what type of person we ought to be in 2016. Learning from mistakes of 2015, or being inspired by the moments.

Before we proceed into happiness, let us review the terrible sufferings of the Paris Attacks and the Syria Crisis. Politically, 2015 is not a year on which we shall look back upon with joy. One thing I hope stays in 2015 is ISIS. They cannot continue to enforce these attacks. The wars need to end, but it may take years. Hopefully, it will only take 2016 to handle the crisis in Syria.

But onto popular culture! I beliebe 2015 was a journey to redemption for certain individuals. You might say, you didn’t have to redeem yourself for anything, so what do you mean? Well, I don’t only speak for myself, people have been sorry and they want to show their purpose in life. I think you got all the hints now. Yes, I am talking of Justin Bieber. This young man stole 2015, stole everything good in music. I never listened to him before, well, not a full on album. But for the first time in history, I listened to an entire Justin Bieber album (Purpose) and I was left with nothing but satisfaction. Extraordinary journey to redemption. He proved he has a lighter shade to him.

Light shades applies to the 2015 frenzy that was the dress. That Goddamn dress! To this day, I see white and gold, but I also see blue and black. Some have seen other colours, but thanks to that dress, we are all colour blind. It’s astonishing how the owners of the dress were on Ellen’s chat show and earned a good wad of money for a freaking dress. It was one hell of a shit dress too.

Talking of shit, we witnessed THE SHIT return very late in 2015, and that was the Queen that is ADELE. She welcomed us back with a powerful hello, and it was a hello that carried on to the other side of the world. It was a song that knocked all of the shits out the water. Then she dropped her album, 25, and that knocked the water out along with all the shits. Adele, one of the greatest returns, hands down. All the hands down. Taylor Swift who?

Speaking of the devil, Taylor ‘skinny’ Swift also caused some billions to start banging heads against the walls as she released an album, 1989. Her music videos were a success on Youtube, earning billions of views, shitting all over Katy Perry’s Dark Horse with Blank Space which has to be the worst song in history. I’d sooner listen to Friday by Rebecca Black on repeat.

Now watch me whip, now watch me nae nae, now watch me not go into detail with this one. It goes without saying. I’m just typing here. You need to do that dance. Otherwise it won’t work.
