“More angles, a million different looks
Was on the same page, just in different books”

Joe Budden – “Dreamerz“

Sometimes in life, you gotta wait. Despite how fast YOU wanna move, life has a natural way of presenting you with setbacks, obstacles, and all sorts of other fun stuff that gets in your way. And sometimes, you can’t control those things. To build upon that, sometimes those unforeseen things make you wait. That’s been the theme of this past month…

2012 was quite the year, wasn’t it? From a crazy political season and Olympic fever to “YOLO” and “Gangnam Style” mania, we had a share of highlights. We saw binders full of women, KONY, and the release of the iPhone 5. We also witnessed several dramatic events including Hurricane Sandy, the loss of Whitney Houston, and several mass shootings in the U.S. too. What a year it’s been.

Instead of revisiting everything in the news, I wanna take some time out and look back at the year I had (and what a year it’s been). It was a year full of highs and lows, good times and bad times, and some surprises too. Both personally and professionally, I had my share of events. So here it is everyone, my 2012 Year-In-Review.

2011 has been quite the year, hasn’t it? It was the year of the revolution and the year of the protestor. We saw deaths of Bin Laden and Gadhafi along with the Occupy Wall Street movement. In addition, we saw stories about the Royal Wedding, the Casey Anthony trial, Steve Jobs, the shaky economy, and the earthquakes of Japan. Between that and stories about Kim Kardashian, Rebecca Black, and Charlie Sheen, there was a lot that happened this year.

With 2011 winding down (which I still can’t believe), I wanted to take a look at where I’ve been. I wanted to take a look at the year that was 2011, but not so much the news; instead, I wanted to visit the stuff that I’ve been through both personally and professionally. It’s definitely been an “eventful” year to say the least, and I felt like capturing that. In addition, it was a pretty interesting year for music too. So anyway, in this hybrid edition of the Opinions Column, I’ll talk about everything 2011.

There’s been a lot of great music that’s come out this past year (and lots more not-so-great stuff). Several of my favorite artists made comebacks this year, while others continued to do their thing. And of course, I debuted my first official video this year too. It’s been a good year for music videos, hasn’t it? It was hard for me to put together this list, especially when there were SO MANY videos released. I know I couldn’t include them all, but take a look at the list below and check out some of my favorites from 2011.
