True Dat

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION

Wow it's been a while....8 months? yeah....

Anyways, here's a good article I just read that is FULL of proof that people are stupid: if I was a Mayan and kept getting asked about the end of the world... I'd probably flip a shit. And if there are things indicating dates after December 21, 2012 that can be found in Mayan inscriptions... I guess the problem here is that people hear something they don't understand and don't get all of the information (if barely any at ALL) and just kinda go crazy from there.

Case in point:
The 13th Baktun of the Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012.

The end of the Mayan calendar!

THE END OF THE WORLD!!!

APOCALYPSE!!!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!

I am going to die.

This train of thought is vaguely... pathetic. I think I'm missing some steps but who cares.

And on that note... I wonder what kind of crazy shit will go down the week before this happens if there are people actually writing to religion institutes worried that they won't live to see their children grow up. I was going to make some crack about this and some possible comedic scenarios, until I realized how many people will probably kill themselves... possibly en mass... possibly taking their "fate into their own hands" and mercy killing their children.

Oh my god.

Let's take a spinning class....oh you meant...riiiight....

So I just found out what people mean when they tell you to signup for a spinning class. See, I'm pretty crafty, so when I hear this I think spinning as in making yarn or thread with a spindle and a spinning wheel. You know, like Sleeping Beauty and stuff (no you stupid bitch! don't!!!)

Apparently no. That's not spinning. Spinning is riding one of those exercise bikes with a big group of people
(why is the image of the road behind them? how is that motivational?)

....somehow, I find this lacking. A LOT. I'm waiting for the day when someone I know wants to take one with me (with my peeps....unlikely) so I can sign us up for...not what they're expecting. It would be amazingly funny. To me at least.

Fashion

I despise sweatpants.

I know, I know. They're so 'comfortable' and 'warm'...well, they make you look like a slob. I don't care if you wear them to the gym, while you're exercising, if you're in your own home and I can't see you.....but sweatpants are not a fashion statement, they are just you being lazy.

I don't even know why they piss me off so much....I have one pair that I wear to bed sometimes. That's it. Maybe the problem is that I'm the type of person who doesn't like to sit around in pajamas either...I kinda need to change into clothes as soon as possible after getting up. I need to feel as if I'm dressed...this seems very OCD now that I'm writing about it....uh....

What's the most horrifying though is this scenario: You (me. obviously me.) are standing in line at the grocery store....and you suddenly realized that the teenage daughter and her mother standing in front of you....are wearing matching victoria's secret "pink" sweatsuits. with uugs of course. with rindstone emblazenings across the ass-region for added effect. KILL. ME. (they looked the same!!! the same!!! except that the mother was like in her forties and not as fit and it's disTURBing!!!)

What bothers me the most is this: my parents (my dad) give me no amount of crap about the way I dress....yeeeeeeahhhh....have you taken a look at my peers lately? yeah, I hadn't thought so...

New Beginnings!?!?!

So yeah, I've been wanting to do this for a while now....the idea has been stewing.

Premise? I'm pissed. I graduate college in 2011. The world may end the next year? What a jip.

What am I talking about? Well, if you haven't heard, sometime between December 21st and 23rd in 2012, the Mayan Calendar ends. (Different people have different opinions on the exact date....and yeah....so it's actually the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar....and it's not really ending, just completing it's 13th b'ak'tun cycle....but people keep refering to it as the ending of the mayan calendar....)

So what? Well, the world might end. Or maybe we'll be part of a major metaphysical/spiritual transformation and enter the AGE OF AQUARIUS!!!! *cue the music*

So, I intend to deal with all the crazy shit that people keep saying will happen. A geomagnetic pole reversal? Aliens? Creation of a noosphere? The fall of human civilization? I guess you'll find out how I'd deal with these things.
