Despite of the wars, the economic disasters in recent months, and all the “not too nice things” that has happened around the world in 2008, year 2008 has not been a bad year over all – although this list may seem shallow in the big picture but this is my list for why Year 2008 has not been a bad year after all (does not include all the personal “goods happenings”)
- I saw one of the best inspiring movies I have seen in many years that happened to be Iranian – Red Robin (Sineh sorkh)
- I saw a prefect performance by Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam that made me believe the PERFECTION can exist.
- I am very happy about the out-come of the election and I am glad that I can feel so much hope about the future again – a feeling that I had forgotten
- I feel that we all dodged two highly dangers and potentially fatal bullets – John Edwards as a possible Democratic Nominee which most likely would have made Sara Plain as the future VP (and possibly the President)
So, over all not a bad year – I know that we still have ways to the end of the year and I hope that “I am not counting my eggs before the end of spring” (or something like that) but I have a feeling that I will be adding to the list of good things vs. not!
Almost forgot – got to meet jj this year too!
