Everyone is talking about it... cant get away from it and if the Mayans were here right now, they would be laughing their sick fucking asses off.
End of the world on December 21st 2012? Yeah, whatever!
The way I see it, I cant lose! By writing this blog and and saying, "fuck you Mayans, it ain't happening" I will look like a fucking genius when Friday is here and gone and everything is the way it should be. And Hell, if somehow the world suddenly ceases to be and everyone dies a fiery hellish death then this blog ceases to be too and so there's no way in hell anyone can point the finger and rant in my face "ha ha you were wrong!"
See? Win, win!
Don't get me wrong, I can see the other side. I can see why all these*coughs* freaks *coughs* excuse me... extremely prepared people have built bunkers and stockpiled food, water and ammo. Shit, you don't have to be facing and impending apocalypse to be prepared for every eventuality. That stuff (well except the ammo) will come in handy whether there's a hurricane warning or even a simple power cut.
The Mormons are very big on this kinda thing (yep, I used to be a Mormon) We had seminars when I was with the church on the best way to stock pile food and various other essential items, how to store them, how to rotate them and how much you should have stored at any one time in case of natural disasters or like I said, just losing power. I actually made a joke once at one of these seminars. I leaned into the woman next to me and said "well I feel secure in the knowledge that should a comet come hurtling towards the earth that I will die with 365 tins of beans under my bed". She wasn't amused.
So yeah, I ain't buying it I'm afraid. Some ancient civilisation has predicted the end is nigh. We here's a news flash, so have lots of other people since the Mayans died out and they were wrong too. And anyway, if they were some kind of precognitive geniuses, surely they would of been able to stop their own demise, right?
See, its like anything else that has been passed down through generations, mentioning no names *coughs* the biblical text *coughs* It has been translated into another language and open to interpretation so there is definitely massive room for error. Hell, most people cant order a drink in another language without ending up with a plate of fish so can we really trust what has been interpreted up to now? Of course we cant. I'm sorry, I don't care how many years you have studied this ancient and DEAD language (the original language is dead at least, I believe there are some descendant and hybrids of the language that still exist). Unless it is your native tongue then frankly you can kiss my arse.
One thing we can learn from the Mayans however, now don't quote me on this but I believe that they died out due to lack of food in their over sized population and climate change also had a huge influence to the point where human life could no longer be sustained. Hmmn sound familiar? Perhaps we should concentrate and learn more from what they did rather than what they said!
On a side note, I better go see my doctor and get that cough checked, wouldn't wanna be stuck in bed all week and miss the end of the world!
