Looking back at 2008

The year 2008 has come to an end, I welcome the new year with joy, and hope of change. 2008 brought much happiness, and grief. Like all previous years I have gathered many memories that I will never forget. The best memory is the historical election of Barack Obama into the presidential office.

I will remember some of the bad events
- the financial deficit in the US
- the constant changes in the oil prices
- the horrible attacks in Mumbai
- the Palestinian and Israeli conflict

And some of the good events
- the Beijing Olympics, and Michael Phelps eight gold medals.
- the production of so many great superhero movies (The Incredible Hulk, Hancock, The Dark Knight, Iron Man)
- the release of The Tales of Beedle the Bard on my birthday
- Hillary Clinton's run for the presidency
- my cousin's engagement/wedding
- great songs (Viva La Vida, Human, and many more!)

I hope everyone will have a spectacular, and fun-filled 2009!

Yeah, there were some good times and bad times this year. I hope that 2009 will be a successful year for all of us and the government. Especially Wall Street.
