I think I need help. I have spent 3 out of the past 5 days watching programs on the History Channel surrounding the “end of days”. It started out as a simple inquiry. I wanted to learn more. I had heard about the Mayan calendar and was interested in learning more. Then it became an obsession. I think I’ve seen every show.
It’s crazy to even consider that there really could be a huge disaster on December 21, 2012 that would wipe out all civilization. Or at least change it drastically. I’m not quite sure I buy it yet but the evidence is pretty impressive.
Can you imagine?
Anyway, I understand that there is a movie coming out too titled “2012″. I’m not one to head off to the theater so I doubt I’ll see it. In the meantime, I’ll keep watching the History Channel and contemplating why I”m not living my life to the fullest. Stressing out all the time and worrying about things I can’t change sure does seem ridiculous if the world is ending. In fact excercise seem futile at this point. Won’t I want the extra “layers” in case all hell breaks loose?
Of course, I’m joking but it sure does get me thinking.
Oh boy, I stay far far away from that kind of programme. I was all worried about the Nostradamus one a while back. It gets under my normally rational skin.
I think it’s time to rent some Mel Brooks.
ROFL @ Maureen! Indeed.
No need for renting, I have all the Mel Brooks we’ll ever need. Someone bring over the popcorn, we’ll solve Erin’s worries!
I had a convo with a colleague today about this very thing. We decided we should start smoking again — what the heck! if it’s all going to hell in a handbasket in just a couple of years anyhow, why bother with all this health-based business… (just kidding)
you see, this is why I stick to Top Chef, The Biggest Loser, etc.Denial is a beautiful thing
I’m pretty sure we’ll all be ok. If not, we won’t live to tell about it.
Okay. Step away from the television. The world will be fine, I’m 99.9% sure of it. People have had theories about THE END for ages and when the world just keeps spinning they sadly have to find some new hobbies. Besides, even if life as we know it did come to a halt, I don’t think we could outrun the giant fissures opening up in the Earth’s surface like John Cusack in those 2012 trailers…
