The Bible told us. Nostradamus told us. The Mayans told us. John Cusack told us. The end of the world is coming. We’re all going to die.
It’s Armageddon Week on The History Channel and I’ve been glued to the tube for four hours now contemplating the tragic and violent end of life here on Earth. Is our great planet going to be sucked into the black hole that is looming in the center of The Milky Way? Will our bodies rot from the inside out with plague and disease? Will we blow each other to kingdom come through warfare and genocide?
Y2K and June 6th, 2006 have come and gone and we’re still circling around the sun, so 2012 has become the new “In” date for the apocalypse. And since Obama is certainly the Antichrist, the days of life as we know it must be drawing to close. Buckle up folks; the four horsemen are on their way… and I don’t mean Jose, Jack, Jim and Johnny Walker.
All joking aside, what if 2012 is the end of the world? Hell, what if Friday is the end of the world? What will you have left undone? Unsaid? Unfinished? Will you have loved those you love well? Will you have lived the one life you have the way you dreamed you would?
What are you waiting for?
I haven’t yet made any resolutions for this year aside from the staples “Lose five pounds” and “Get something published.” So, I think I will resolve to live 2010 like 2012 is the end of the world. You know… Just in case.
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”- Matthew 24:36

Wow! I was watching that Armageddon stuff too! Funny thing on the Mayan monument that “supposedly” had a view to the end of the world…the archeologist saw a panther and a big face…I just saw rocks. Guess it’s all about perception, right?
As for the end, if it truly were the end, I would take that trip to Paris….on credit, of course. But since there may be a tomorrow and the bills that go with, I’d better hold off. Sigh.
Wonderful blog! Glad to see you back at it;)
I just saw rocks too. LOL
I can’t buy into the whole Mayan thing… I personally think they just ran out of tile.
Wow, food for thought. I could think of so many things then I honestly could also list all the things I have experienced if I hadn’t done them. I think we really do have to live each day as though it were our last and make choices that we are proud of every day.Great blog!
That’s a good way to look at choices. Ask yourself, “is this something I will be proud of later.” Never really thought about that.
I so needed to read this today. The humor definitely provides some necessary levity, but I am in a frame of mind where I am heavily analyzing how certain people in my life are treating me and perhaps I should turn that mirror on myself.
Thanks. Always a pleasure to read your writing!
Thanks April. Maybe 2010 will be a year of changes for us all.
