The Year in Review Meme

I skipped this awesome activity last year. Again, credit to John. However, I didn't cheat like he did, heh. Rules are the same as last time: first sentence of first post of the month for each month of 2009. A bit of comment follows each sentence, but it is hidden text and you'll have to highlight it to see it.

January
As Hong Kong stepped into the new year peacefully, more injustice took place in the Mainland. (What else is new? Another civil rights activist was just sentenced to 11 years just last week.)

February
HSBC... again. (The "World's Bank" strikes again with high fees and low benefits. Banks very often forget that besides being a business, they are a service to the people.)

March
The stuff we buy just keeps getting worse. (Definitely holds true. Lower prices mean cheaper and shittier products. We ultimately lose as landfills pile up faster.)

April
Resident Evil 5's issue of race has ballooned to internet wide proportions. (I think these stories are overblown. Video games get enough negative press as is.)

May
A couple months ago, there was a case of bickering between the so called "Kong Boys" and "Kong Girls". (Ultimately, video games and pocketbooks suffered.)

June
WRC and NASCAR too? Gran Turismo is again looking to be the all-in-one racing game. (Another post about games? Daaayum! A nerd is me.)

July
Recently picked up a new TV series called The Unit. (Thinking back I didn't really enjoy the whole "life on base" dynamic. The Unit is still awesome though.)

August
Why why why why why am I not surprised. (That prostitutes are more trustworthy than politicians in China. Corruption, yo.)

September
I am for the most part a Firefox user when it comes to web browsing. (Ain't that the truth.)

October
This is so much better than the original. (Pomplamoose rocks!)

November
It has been a long while since I posted. (But the point is, Belichick is still our coach.)

December
Was down with the sickness last weekend. (A long two weeks with me being sick, then my girlfriend.)

2010: less time on gaming, more time on girlfriend?

I though you were going to write something about the High Speed Rail system of HK in your Blog.
