2013 started with so much potential. I had a new job that took me around the world. I was ready to embark on a new journey that I thought would change my world. I was excited and I thought that I was heading in a direction that would bring the most satisfaction out of life.
2013 turned out to be a long parade of inefficiency and misery that made the years I spent in Iraq and Afghanistan seem fun. In short 2013 was the worst. I'm gonna have to chalk it down as a loss. 2013 was a shit show. The only thing that I really have left is the hope for something better. 2014 has to be better. I have a strange optimism about this year. If things suck in 2014, at least I can hold on to the fact that it's not 2013.
I have a strange habit of keeping track of all of the movies I have watched and books that I have read each year. Maybe if I analyze this list I can figure out why 2013 was so horrible. Is it my bad taste in entertainment? Let's see.
The list of book I read in 2013 is surprisingly short.

Was 2013 bad because I didn't read as much or did my taste in movies influence my view of the events of the year? I think that there might be some other factors at play here, but it's easier to blame Netflix.
Here's to 2014 being better than last year.
