2020 - Your Highs And Lows.

[Roxetten]

Maybe it's time to look back at a tumultuous year and to consider your highs and lows from whatever standpoint, be it cultural, sporting, personal or current affairs related.

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion's song WAP was both a high and a low for me tbphwy.

In news terms Trump's attempts to subvert democracy after losing the presidential election was a low, as is the continuing popularity of Bolsonaro in Brazil with his willful encouragement of the ongoing destruction of the Amazon.

Biden winning the election was the high point of the year for me internationally.

In Ireland the continuing rise of SF is a low and a cause for concern, the Greens being in government should be a positive but I don't feel they are making their mark in any significant way.

High - getting to move back to Cork and work from here hopefully permanently

Low - not being able to go to a pub without Bishop Con Lucey standing at the window with a big "down with this sort of thing" banner.

I'm thinking of reviving the temperance movement to be quite perfectly honest with you.

My high moment was getting a mention on the opinion line, pj admonished me but that's neither here nor there,

Highs, was lucky to get a decent holiday in January before all this shit kicked off.

Lows, the break of all normal social outlets. Have been out to dinner twice since March.

Erra can't complain really, thankfully none of my family have gotten sick.

Politically Bidens win obviously a high, low the coalition lurching from one crisis to another.

Culturally its been a wasteland. Hardly any cinema, no gigs, no albums of note. Enjoyed a few series, the boys, queens gambit.

Thats about it really. As a year its a 4/10

Getting to post on the PROC is a high

Seeing the selfishness of those who refused to follow public health guidelines regarding covid was a low.
