However, there was also quite a lot of negatives this year. These points are just a FEW of what happened this year.
*One of the most controversial presidential elections of all-time.
*Countless great people and 名人 died (Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, Alan Young, etc), most of whom I really cared about.
*YouTube has been 更多 drama and exposing shit than ever before, as well as a plethora of new copyright issues.
*Personally speaking, I had a massive bed-bug invasion for about three months. I also went to the hospital. Yay?
And 你 know what? The point of this 文章 ain't to make people depressed 或者 anything. But the point is, I don't think there's been a single 年 so far filled with SO many depressing deaths. In fact, unless you've been living under a rock, then chances are somebody that you've cared about is dead now, which again, REALLY sucks.
Not to say nobody I've ever admired has died before, such as Adam Yauch, Johnny Cash, and Marilyn Monroe (Who I never even got to meet), but 你 get the point.
But with 2016 out the window, let's touch upon the probable good and bad of 2017. Is it looking good for us, 或者 will 2017 be somehow even worse? (I pray to God not.)
I'm deathding, and this is all about the new year. Exit 2016, and Enter 2017...

Part One: The Good Stuff
*As usual, there're a ton of new 电影院 coming out this year, for the better 或者 for the worse. There's a few noteworthy ones, such as Pitch Perfect 3, Fist Fight looks funny, a new Alien movie seems interesting, a new 星, 星级 Wars movie, and an adaptation of GHOST IN THE SHELL? Who could've seen that one coming? Oh, and if you're a superhero fan, then you're going to have a fun time this 年 in the theaters.
*The end of the presidential election has shut (mostly) everyone up now. That's a positive in and of itself.
*Usual advances in technology and disease prevention. Again, always appreciated.
*The Red Hot Chili Peppers are finally back in business! If 你 like Rock music, then check them out. As an example of how exciting this is for 粉丝 of them, they haven't released an album in five years.
*This is also a very good 年 to be a 粉丝 of Chris Rock. He recently announced his first stand-up comedy tour in nine years, he'll be on two Netflix Comedy Specials, and is generally going to be very active.
*The 流行的 80's sitcom Alf just MIGHT get a reboot. On the topic of reboots, 嘿 Arnold is coming back as well.
*Pokemon Bank is being updated so that people can transfer Pokemon and Items to Sun/Moon. As a 任天堂 nerd, this excites me.
*New shows to discover, new 音乐 to find, and that classical New 年 feeling to go on and do things that you've either never done before, 或者 just want to try out. Follow your dreams people, because this could be quite an interesting year!
Part Two: The Bad Stuff
*Let's get this one over with, there's going to be an Emoji movie. It's not normal of me to judge things before they even come out, and the Lego movie was good, so what's stopping this one from gaining my trust? Simple. It's about Emojis. It is what it says on the tin can people, don't get too excited.

*The usual issues of a 年 are probably not going to let up either. Global Warming, freedom issues, inflation, etc.
*"The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes."
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 22, 2016
Oh shit.
*The YouTube dilemma is still going on as well. Remember people, press the Subscribe button to "kind of" subscribe, and press the Notification 钟, 贝尔 button to "really" subscribe.
...I will never understand the thought process behind that decision.
*And presumably much 更多 that nobody could've seen coming, I guess 你 could say this for the good too though, at least.
Part Three: The Obligatory Conclusion
I ain't a news channel 或者 anything, but I really wanted to get this off my chest. After all, who wouldn't want to know what the new 年 holds in store for them? I would, at the very least.
And now, the part everybody wants to hear. Will 2017 be a good year, 或者 a terrible one? And although the answer to that is pretty ambiguous at this point in time, I can almost assure 你 that if 你 don't be like me and try looking on the positive side of life, then 你 just might find yourself having 更多 fun than 你 might've thought.
There's a lot to be alert about, whether it's for the better 或者 for the worse. So just keep your head up, and maintain that optimistic attitude! :)
