With June rapidly approaching its end, we are at the point where half of the year is behind us. (Or half of the year is ahead of us, if you're an optimist.) Anybody has had their fair share of ups and downs so I figure I'd take a look at what has transpired so far this year.

Let's start with my downs first:

- I got so upset and nearly depressed to the point where I trashed my old deviantART account (but quickly made a new one).
- I've made very little effort to change some of my not-so-pleasant habits.
- I've upset people when it could have been very easily avoided.
- My interest in Danny Phantom has more or less been destroyed because of that godforsaken My Little Pony garbage.
- The big one: I feel guilty for getting one of my friends on deviantART more or less suspended from the site for 2 months.

Not the biggest negatives list, but I'm glad to say that I have far more positives from the past six months. The list includes:

- Marvel vs. Capcom 3 came out and I have been enjoying it very much since then (even if I drove others up the wall talking about it).
- I got Pokémon Black for the DS and have enjoyed it very much as well.
- I got my Wii fixed and got to catch up on the games I've missed for the past several months including Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn, GoldenEye 007, and more. Good games that I hope to add to my library soon.
- I got the Nintendo 3DS on launch day and have gotten a ton of use out of it since. Totally worth the money that I put down.
- I've seen a lot of very good movies including Rango, Rio, and Kung Fu Panda 2.
- The friends that I nearly abandoned on deviantART have about forgiven me, though I'm still on the road to fully gaining their trust.
- E3 2011 was awesome with the announcement of the Wii U, tons of games for the 3DS and Xbox 360, and a lot of videos to help out excitement along.
- I finished my first year of college in May and quickly found a job once I got home.
- The Mighty B! has ended, but the last episodes were great and I've found other shows to help fill the void, including Regular Show, The Looney Tunes Show, and several others.

So far, I can say that 2011 has been mostly good to me. Still, we have six more months ahead of us. I certainly hope I can get the best out of the rest of the year.
