blamebramptonIf you get the chance, check out the Sydney NYE fireworks footage. They went absolutely over the top crazycakes! EVERYTHING EXPLODED!!! LOTS!
And the symbol on the bridge this year? Eye of Sauron. I have long suspected the Sydney Harbour Bridge of being Mordor!
ETA: Der, HAPPY NEW YEAR, DARLING PEOPLE!
2014 is awesome! BEST YEAR EVER!
Bankers voluntarily repay government bailouts and donate huge swathes of their ridiculously large salaries to nurses, teachers, research scientists and care-givers, citing a sense of perspective as their motivating force.
Around the world, governments unite to develop green technologies and phase out coal and oil, declaring that even if Tony Abbott is right and climate change is crap, the whole not having tens of thousands of people dying every year from microparticle pollution and having to kowtow to some of the most appalling countries on Earth for their resources makes the idea a good one any way you look at it.
Vladimir Putin's sudden attack of amnesties at the end of 2013 causes his heart to grow three sizes that day, and in a fit of sudden humanity not seen since Dr Seuss wrote the last chapter of the Grinch who Stole Christmas, he strikes down Russia's anti-gay laws, renationalises assets stolen by oligarchs and enters into meaningful negotiations with Muslim minorities that see peace throughout the region by the start of the Sochi Olympics.
Embarrassed, Israel and Palestine mutter that they had actually signed peace accords first, they just didn't want to distract from a major sporting event. But since Russia's already ruined things for the athletes …
David Bowie travels to the International Space Station with Chris Hadfield and teaches everyone an acoustic version of Life on Mars. Inspired, billions of people around the world crowdsource the next Mars Mission, and, in am international vote, Justin Bieber finds his life purpose as one of the handful of humans who form the first Martian settlement. Monkeys all over Earth breathe a sigh of relief.
By March, things are looking so good that satirists decide our work here is done and we all take the rest of the year off. (Why yes, all that champers HAS caught up with me, how could you tell? Also, ABBA is playing, I must go and dance!)
