We watched that thing on the History Chanel about the predictions for the apocalypse in 2012.

I ended up bawling. It was horrible, I was having so many cruel thoughts and the prospect of this actually being true came crashing down all over me. "It's okay, I'm here," he said, as I clung

I feel the same way - that there are so many things I want to do and see. And so many ways I want to leave the world. I want to die knowing that I've helped it in some way. But at the same time, I'm not afraid of dying, and I guess when it comes down to it, it won't matter to me what I did when I'm dead, because I'll be dead. And I'll either cease to exist or I'll go on to a better place.

Looking at the way the Earth has worked over time, we're due for the sixth extinction. We talk about it in my Bio classes all the time, and it's really scary if you think about it for too long. One thing I'm willing to bet on, though, is that we won't see it coming. It'll happen when we least expect it. You can't put a counter on these things. They just happen. It could happen tomorrow, or it could happen to our great, great grandchildren. It's impossible to know.

The thing that troubles me the most right now is how much daylight we're losing. I dunno if we've talked about this before since I've been gone, but at the rate we're going, we won't see the sun at all a year from now. Every day will be dark. I'm more scared by that idea than weird apocalypse predictions.
