Year end blog

Hi:
 It's time to do my year end blog. They have been some bad things that happened this year but I would rather focus on the good things:

  • I traded in my Sega Genesis and games for 70% discount on a used PS3 at GameHord(here in town). It was a good decision. More info about this can be found here: http://jamiemarchant.blogspot.ca/2016/07/ps3.html
  • My friend Barb from the camera club gave me her old Nikon D90 as a birthday present! The quality of my photos have improved. 
  • My Dad retired yesterday and I am happy for him. 
  • Here are some other highlights. 
Best movies I saw(in no order):

  • Paddington
  • The Pirates! Band of Misfits
  • Finding Dory 
  • Documentaries hosted by David Attenborough and David Macaulay. Macaulay wrote a series of illustrated books on historical subjects like Castles. These where turned into documentary latter on.  People my age probally know him best for his kids book "The Way Things Work". 
Best TV show I saw: 
  • Murdoch Mysteries. I especially liked the Christmas special. 
  • Ounce Upon a Time. << still a good show! 
Best video games I've played:
  • Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep(HD)
  • Evoland 2 
  • Sonic Unleashed(which I bought for my PS3) 
Best video game I watched someone else play: 
  • Obduction! << I would have a copy of this but my computer can't run it. 
Other memory things I have done: 
  • Played many games of Monopoly Deal
  • Gone on photo shoots. I have done this with the club and I've started doing it on my own. At Christmas and Halloween I did shoots around my neighbourhood. I also started doing shoots with my friend Doris from the camera club. Check out my Halloween and Christmas photos here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskJdwzYw (all Christmas photos) and Halloween walk: https://flic.kr/s/aHskGmSyGF
  • Played board games with groups like Georgetown Geeks and Gammers, as well as a Brampton group that I can't remember the name of. 
Next year: 
  • I will get a new credit card from RBC. They are retiring they old line of cards, the new card will have the same rates as the old one but the rewards(which I never used), we work differently. 
  • I will keep watching good TV shows. 
  • My sister got my some online multiplayer games and we will be playing them. 
  • I will be watching less YouTube videos next year, as they often are more of a way to pass time. 
  • I will improve myself in other ways that are private and I don't feel like talking about here. One should remember that new years is not the only time when one can improve oneself.
  •  With Ontario's new fixed election cycle the next election is scheduled for 2018. Those of us involved in political parties may have to start planning next year.   
  • It will be Canad's 150th anniversary next year so they will be losts of celerbrasoins along those lines. 

Lastly a silly thought "It's almost 2017 and still don't have my darn hover car! come on people hurry up and make those!".

NOTE: Not sure why some of the text is different.
