HAPPY 2022!!! 🌆🎉😎👍🎆

New year, new me! Now that 2021 (and sadly, Betty White, RIP 12/31/2021, age 99 😭🕊️) is past us, we can have a great 2022 together! 😎👍🎉🎆🌆 What 2022 will mean for me:

ACTUALITIES:
I will graduate high school and (most likely) begin college at either HCC (Holyoke Community College) or UMass Amherst. (University of Massachusetts Amherst)
2022 will be my first full year as an adult, so WHO KNOWS what could happen! 😆🎓👨‍🏫

PREDICTIONS:
The COVID-19 pandemic will end in the US or worldwide, omicron or one more after that could be last variant to still cause restrictions such as masks, distancing, and closure/going virtual if absolutely necessary; my prediction is 

no more masks/distancing (back to "normal") by March to July 2022, ❌😷 -> ⛱️ '22

at least 25% of the US population will get COVID-19 in one way or another, we can't mask ourselves forever, although it already feels like we have after almost 2 years... 😭🦠💉💊🤒
(Currently about 12% have been infected)

VR, being a mildly big fad in 2017, will blow up in usage as the metaverse comes into existence and is widely accessible/available by either this spring or summer 2022; by the end of the year, 

"VR Lounges/MetaLounges/Meta Lounges/VRLounges/FutureLounges/Future Lounges" could go into operation as VR reaches 5 years of existence. 🌆🌙

Self-driving cars could be widespread by the end of the year but to a certain extent. By the end of the year, Teslas (Full Self Driving/FSD, currently in Beta 10.8) could have FSD widely available, but it likely won't be "full self driving" as the driver will need to intervene if necessary, full self driving of the actual vehicles will probably occur between 2023 and 2026 and new laws/regulations will need to be established for self driving vehicles
Despite the likely realities, Elon Musk, behind Tesla, is stating that he does expect "full self driving" to be a thing by the end of 2022, although many news outlets don't agree as many of his past predictions have turned out to be incorrect. 🚗🤖

The first publicly available flying cars will very likely be available by spring to summer 2022 as a new technology in the works for 100+ years. (Companies have already committed to a 2022 launch of flying cars)
🚗🚁

Apple could release its first VR/AR headset and first smartglasses this year, although the smartglasses, expected for 2022 in 2020, are now likely for release in 2023, although most predictions are expecting 2022 or 2023 for these items. 📱🕶️

Meta (formerly Facebook, Inc.) is expected to release its first official gear and begin the public metaverse this year, as new products will be announced in early 2022, possibly at CES, although virtually due to Meta pulling out over Omicron concerns. (+800% cases in DC in 2 weeks?! Holy shit...) Despite the INSANE wave smashing records worldwide AND across the US, especially in the high vax Northeast, CES is expected to still be in person in Las Vegas from January 5-7, 2022 as many exhibitors are still in despite the big ones (Google/Meta/among others) having gone virtual or dropping out altogether with only days away to this massive event that kicks off at the beginning of every year in early to mid January to show off the latest tech. 🌆🔮🏙️∞

MY 2022 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS:
Learn ASL (American Sign Language) and Spanish; get back on Duolingo and sign on another app for ASL. 👨‍🏫🎓🗺️
Be more educational; less gaming. (Learn coding and life skills, along with signing up for colleges and doing the FAFSA with my foster mom online and finding scholarships online and in-person, if possible) 👨‍🏫🎓🗺️🌐 – 🎮
Be more hygienic; get on taking showers daily and twice daily brushing 🚿🪥
DOCUMENT MORE OF MY LIFE; more vlogging if possible, especially with more frequent posts here, in my journal, and on Instagram, preferably here. 🤳📸🎥📘
Have better behavior as that's absolutely necessary. 😎🙂👍

Anyways, here's the things that I lost in 2021:
My dad, cancer, 6/26/1956-9/30/2021 😭🙂🕊️
Tons of my 2017 blogs/sites due to my school's updated CENSORSHIT policy!
(Did I f-cking ask for a GOOGLE CHILD ACCOUNT?! I'M 18 FOR DAMN'S SAKE! 🤬🤬🤬🤬)
Gone forever are these blogs, all gone around the same time: 😭
Richard's Blog Is Awesome (4/10/2017-late 2021, last post September 2017, viewable on Wayback Machine but incomplete)
Former URL: richardsweblogisawesome.blogspot.com
The Richard Gazette (2017-late 2021, last post in 2017)
Former URL: therichardgazette.blogspot.com

Likely offline date: mid-November 2021
(First noticed: Blogger blocked: mid-November 2021
2017 blogs down: December 31, 2021)

Not only are they gone forever, but my account is FOREVER BARRED from Blogger not only on school computers, where I first noticed in mid-November, but EVERYWHERE, and YouTube is gone too! 😭😤

REST IN PEACE; MORE PERSONAL HISTORY GONE BECAUSE OF DAMN CENSORSHIP!
(CENSORSHIT)
WHY BLOG IF IT'S ALL GONNA GET DELETED, NO F-CKING SENSE IN DOING SO...

Sorry for the rant, let's leave that in 2021 as clearly they won't make it to their 5th anniversary or 2022 onwards, RIP 😭

NOW FOR AN AWESOME 2022! 😎👍🎉🎆🌆

Anyways, here's the CELEBRATION PICS AND VIDS:


I was so hot while in the room and gaming that I HAD to take my shirt off! 🤣🥵🎮
(And that controller was quite sweaty when I quit after 40 minutes of doing great with help from my brother...)


About ready to kick some ass in Assassin's Creed III, (2012) my brother's first ever game in Assassin's Creed, his favorite series on his Xbox. 😎


Kick ass: (verb) To do amazing in something, such as video gaming with high proficiency.
"I really kicked ass on that spelling test, I got a 100!" 🦶🍑😎


Last selfie of 2021... 🤳


HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022!!! 🎉🌆🎆👍😎
"2021 can kiss my mask!" - Party City


Caution - party scene investigation ⚠️


The skaunk (my bio-brother) is departing the house/apartment in 2022 after arriving there in 2021 🛫
"What the hell is a skaunk? Here's the story: my brother tried to call someone a sk@nk one day but it accidentally came out as skaunk and he actually liked that, so he stuck with it as a made up word that he liked."


Time of my life - 2022! 😎🌆🎆🎉👍


Singing session: Mood - 24KGoldn 🎵
Radio/TV celebration: "why you always in a mood? Messin around like you brand new..." "...only thing I need to know is if you ready now..."
Actual song: "why you always in a mood? F-ckin around like you brand new..." "...only thing I need to know is if you 💦 (w3t) enough..."
Just singing censored then going into the room to sing uncensored, your typical teen who wants EVERYTHING UNCENSORED when it can't be... 🤬🤣😭😤

Anyways, happy new year, and I hope that I and everyone else has a GREAT 2022! 😎☀️👍🌆🎉🎆
