Happy New year! what new year resolutions will you/have you made?

Mine is to be more focused in tasks I start.

It is also the 30th anniversary of TMNT. What TMNT things are you looking forward to most?

By the way, it's new year over here, but not everywhere. Post here when it's your new year.

Happy New Year, fellow east coasters...

2013 was hell to endure. My dad bailed out on us spawning all kinds of upset at home (the divorce situation is far from resolved and we may end up in a trailer in the future, or worse), almost had to put my dog down (thankfully his condition changed), I was in the hospital for a bit (for which I now owe 20 grand), had a significant other do me dirty to the point of near mental breakdown, gained a lot of weight, one friend lost his father, another friends mother was murdered, an additional friend became a coke addict... & all sorts of other wack bullsh!t.

That was most of the bad stuff. The good stuff that happened was all bittersweet though-

I was able to see my favorite band live for the first time in 12 years of listening to them, but I almost missed the show thanks to my IBS. I got there like JUST before they hit the stage. It was great, but I have a permanent ring in my right ear now as a result. I got to head out to NY for comic con, which was really enjoyable but a lot went wrong over the course of the trip... Plans to see a childhood friend fell through, I waited 7 hours to meet Kevin Eastman and during the one break I took to use the bathroom the pipes burst on the toilet I was using and my backpack/shorts were splashed with (clean, thankfully) water (I actually had a change of clothes on me that day, my gut told me to bring some- no idea why), plus I missed a bunch of panels/signings while being in line. Last day of the con I had to run out without saying goodbye to all my friends in order to catch my train, and once I did, I got a nosebleed. On my last night in NY, I was supposed to link up with this chick for some long overdue lovin' and I ended up puking and sh*tting blood all night instead thanks to a bout of salmonella I got from some chicken. The only benefit of that is that the lung pain I had from excessive vomiting inspired me to quit smoking after doing so for about 8 or 9 years and I haven't touched one since (3 months now, roughly). To make matters worse, TSA confiscated a bunch of my medicine. Medicine that costs $600 a bottle. Plus they went through all my stuff, which I'm assuming came as a result of my very long beard... Meh.

The only events that weren't tainted have to do with my musical endeavors, my group Grindhouse Gang & I have put together an awesome (hip-hop) album with features from huge names. We're really proud of it. Can't wait to put that out early 2014.

All & all, it was mostly a crap year. One of, if not the worst, ever.

Hopefully 2014 will be better somehow.

Happy new year, y'all!

Cowabunga and a happy new year all.
May we all make the best of it no matter what is to come.
It's shaping up to be a really good year to be a tmnt fan depending on how much you are looking forward to all that is in store tmntwise this year.

Happy New Years my fellow Dromers and Canucks

After a couple slightly uneventful years I feel like I was pounded over the head with life in 2013. It included some the highest highs and lowest lows I've ever faced in a single year. My fiance and my adorable nephew bring me no end of joy, but issues I've faced in the past have made some nights unbearable and quiet moments excruciating. All in all I'm glad the year is over and I'm looking forward to 2014.

Happy New Years, gang!

Blossombrooks · 01-01-2014, 04:06 AM

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2014 brings with it better times for everyone, it wasn't my worst year but I've spent a lot of it getting over the events of the previous nightmarish one so if 2013 was bad for you I wish you the strength you need to overcome it.

This next year promises change for me and I'm ready for that. I'd like to resolve to push myself into doing things that challenge me and be better at pursuing my goals.

Tmnt wise I'm looking forward to reading what IDW has in store for the guys, 2013 was a good year for that. I'm also looking forward to adding more figures to my small but growing collection. The film I await with baited breath, I want to see it just to end the curiosity!

*ZariusTwo* · 01-01-2014, 07:19 AM

The period of fall 2012 to the entirety of 2013 was pretty much when I bounced back, having spent the previous two and a half years recovering from a depressing and demoralizing mental breakdown that began in 2008 and worsened in 2010. I wrote a large body of fanfics, got back into reviewing fics, made great friends out of 'Dromers Blossombrooks, JLX, and Bubblyshell who helped me out by illustrating some of my fics, pointing out mistakes in my writing, and giving me detailed constructive criticisms and comments which helped grow me as a perfectionist writer. I completed a novel-length TMNT story based off a fanfilm script, and I got better at video editing to the point I'm now making feature-length mash-ups of films like Superman II and Star Trek V. Looking forward to bigger and better things this year, especially since it's the big 30th for the TMNT franchise.

Happy New Year !!
2013 I left Germany for 6 months and experienced the beauty of Norway. 2014 I will visit this country again !

*TigerClaw* · 01-01-2014, 08:07 AM

2014 is going to be a great year for comic book movies, TMNT being one of them.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 01-01-2014, 08:58 AM

I think it's safe to say that 2013 has had its ups and downs. As far as movies, games, and current events are concerned. So, what are your top 10 best/worst movies, games, etc of 2013?

*BubblyShell22* · 01-01-2014, 09:01 AM

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope it'll be a good year for all of you. Mine hasn't been that great as it's been the same as always for me. I don't know if this year will be better, but I do hope it at least brings me a job I've been wanting to get. I've been writing a lot of fan fics, and hope to do more this year as well. So far this year hasn't been off to a good start due to news that my Grandpa can't get his surgery for his spine, so that's a huge blow to me right now.

*blindturtle02* · 01-01-2014, 11:25 AM

Happy New Year guys. Hoping 2014 will be a great year for all.
