Subject: Did 2013 seem like a blah year to you?

Written By: nintieskid999 on 11/05/13 at 12:37 am

It feels like some new pop culture is trying to come out but it just isn't. It seems to have not much of a vibe other than wishing it were the past or future.

Not at all! It has been the best year of my life. Now that I am semi-retired I can enjoy life and had to wonderful holidays.

2013. Just another year trying to survive, tread water and not drown. Just another year like the past 10 or 15 years and all of them seem the same. It's very different than the 60s, 70s and 80s, sadly.

Not at all, I've enjoyed this year. A lot of good things have come into my life, and it has been much better than last year.
2012 was a crummy year for me though, not much happened that year and it just felt like a hangover of the previous year.

Personally, 2013 was much better for me than 2012 was. So many great things happened to me this year!

Pop culturally, I like music. Other than that, nothing new or inventive, but a lot better music than 2 years ago.

Personally in my life, 2013 was/is a 'waiting' year, a year where I'm waiting and waiting and waiting, as if I'm a butterfly stuck inside a cocoon. Next year, I'll break out though!

Yeah, nothing too much happened this year as far as music goes. I did enjoy the film Elysium, and what else ... I went to Canada again this year. And started going to college again. That's about it.  :)

2013 was a far better year than 2012 or 2011 in my opinion. My life is better than it was those two years. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in college career wise and kept changing majors, but this year I am on the right path in college and passing everything. Music hasn't been too bad. There were some pretty good movies that came out this year too. I do think this year flew by really fast though. Much faster than the last few years.

2013 has been such a sentimental year for me, particularly regarding my relationships with friends and significant others. I got tipsy on Halloween night and began reminiscing over the past year - it got me a little sad.  :P

2013 has been one of my most blah years ever bordering on being a bad year, but it doesn't have anything to do with the pop culture.  To the young ones on this board, enjoy it now.  After you hit 25, every year gets more and more blah than the last one.  I don't have high hopes for 2014.

Philip is semi-retired, I am retired and we are both well past 25, and we have had very good years.  I can can remember 25 and I have to say if every year its getting more blah for you you are doing something wrong.

Technically it could be argued that 2013 is the mid 10s. But I'll leave it at that.

Well at least I think this year we finally got rid of Bloomberg and we now have Mayor Bill Deblasio, that could be considered a good thing.

I understand what you mean. I consider early to be 10-13 mid to be 14-16 and late to be 17-19 but maybe I'm in the minority with that opinion.

Just a heads up. Discussing/arguing what is the early/mid/end part of the decade will get this topic closed real fast. It falls under the umbrella of decadeology, which is not permitted on this site. I suggest you go back on topic before such a discussion continues (early/mid/end of decade)

Thanks, folks

On paper, Mayor Bill Deblasio does the past achievements prove him to be a good Mayor of New York?

I think the music this year was better. A lot of big news stories happened this year as well. Boston bombing, healthcare rollout, NSA spying etc.

Aside from the government shut down and the idea North Korea may or may not have nuke aimed at us, YEAH, this has been a blah-ass year.

True, the shutdown was the only let down of my US holiday, but to see the places with no access available was still an achievement.
