Sitting on the couch, blowing my nose and sneezing, I've pulled up Tivo and
there is a program that was recorded from the History Channel.
"2012 Extinction"...basically about predictions for the end of the world on
21-Dec-2012.
Hooya! 'Cause really, when one is sick...and tired of being sick...there is
something deliciously nice about watching someone narrate about the end of
the world.
"Yeah...yeah, get everyone else too. Bitches!"
*cue sneezing*
Interestingly, the modern Maya are saying "no, that's not what the calendar
means - the world isn't going to end."
The white people who are interpreting the calendar are saying "Nooo, that IS
what it says, and we know better!
An eye-candy movie released this year compromises. "Yes, it will be a big
bad earth-crushing disaster...but some select people in big ark ships will
survive."
Wouldn't it be more interesting if the prediction was off by ONE day?
Think about it... there are going to be a bunch of people getting ready for
that day, even if they don't believe the world will end. There will be
parties that are making jest of the fact, there will be people digging
shelters in their back yards, and there will be nut-jobs making life a
little more difficult for everyone else by trying to help out the disaster.
If the End of the World happened on 20-Dec-2012... well, to begin with
that'd be a waste of a LOT of alcohol! On the upside, it'd get the whole
event out of the way before people go into a mass hysteria, so that'd be
saving a lot of hassle at the least. Plus it'd be one less day of watching
this damn Tempurpedic bed commercial (which is on right now) and watching
the idiot woman bounce on a bed with a glass of wine to test how firm it is.
(lady...you spill that wine, that is a WASTE and you'd deserve a smack)
I don't want my bed to hug me with squishy firmness. I want to lay on it
and doze off.
Anywhoo...
Even better might be End of the World on 22-Dec-2012. The parties are done,
the hangovers have commenced. That strange man is done hollering that the
end is here. The nut job with the rifle at the shopping mall has been
arrested. The news stations are still talking about it because they have to
fill the time with *something*.
BAM!
Hey, quick fix to the hangovers! What would make you forget your headache
faster than the planet cracking open?
The upside is that the booze didn't go to waste, everyone got to enjoy the
end of the world events a little longer...and the only real downside (beside
that planet cracking open thing) is that it'd be about 12-24 more hours of
watching this damn lady jumping on the bed with a glass of wine.
(supposedly your mattress will last twenty years, which is how long they've
been running this ad. seriously, it's the same glass of wine as when i was
ten and watching her damn feet go up and down on that twinkie-sponge-bed!
the wine's not even good any more twenty years later - who cares if it
spills now?)
Maybe that's why God will destroy the world. Tempurpedic beds commercials.
