2011 has started with a quiet and peaceful day. I do not know anyone that thinks that last year was a good one so thank god it is over and will not return...and if Hollywood is right then 2012 will be a right *beeeep*, so let's make the best that we can out of this year, then again if there will be a virus outbreak then maybe Will Smith will save us in the end. Although following Aeon Flux or Terminator: Sara Connors Chronicles then we are pretty much fried already this year.
