2012: Conspiracy Fun!

                      Ralph Burch will be able be eligible to retire December 13th, 2012. Is this a cruel universal joke? A man who has worked so  hard who gets to retire on the day after the world is supposed to end? Or is it simply just another day and Ralph will be able to enjoy his much deserved retirement? (If I'm not right, then it is kinda of  cruel joke. Way to go world. That's sarcasm by the way)

                       So, do I like many other people feel like the world will end December 12th, 2012? Do I think it will be mass global destruction?
                          
                                               Naw.

                    What's that loyal readers? I don't think that anything is going to happen in 2012? What? How could that be? The self-proclaimed queen of "what ifs" really doesn't think anything will happen except another day?

                                             Yep.

                      The first reason I don't believe that anything is going to happen is that I have no worries of when the world is going to end. If it's going to end, it's going to end and not even Bruce Willis can save us. I don't worry about it because what are we going to do? So why worry. I don't think any one person can predict the end of this world because it may never happen, and if it does it's not like we'll be around the next day to point fingers.

                          Second, the calender everyone is talking about was cut out of a cave. A huge chunk of it was destroyed. And who says they really could translate the calender? Words can be misunderstood and lost in translation. What if instead of the world ending in 2012 it's actually the day everyone is supposed to eat ice cream and dye their hair pink? Do you ever think that the Mayans are sitting on their clouds laughing at us and all of this crazy going on? I do.

                      Third: What is this is all symbolic? Most of the beings holding knowledge don't want to just give us the answers. We have to work for them. What's the point of getting all the answers to the test the day before the exam? You may get an A, but you just got an F in life. And shame on you for cheating!!! What if there is just a lesson that we need to learn here? What if we need to learn that our concept of time is just plain wrong. I tend to believe that time runs in a circle, and not in a straight line. (If that's the case then there is some version of me in the Bahamas right now.....sigh) What is this is our time to look beyond our selves and have a "spiritual awakening?" What if it's time to realize that there really are aliens? (sweet)

                       I just don't think there is any reason to get all worked up about it. Look back. There have been many "big dates" in which the world was going to end. It didn't happen. But what did happen is a lot of books, TV shows, and movies got made. People got to cash in just as they are now. Looks like this whole repetition keeps happening because we are ignoring what we should be learning instead of panicking, or finding a way to make money off of fear.

                        So, just maybe we should take a few steps back about this whole 2012 thing. The date isn't important. The calender isn't important. What is important that society as a whole fears about the end of their time. Maybe instead of fearing the end of their time they should make the best of what time they do have. Every day is a gamble. If we live in fear, then we've lost out on life. So instead of being worried on December 12th, 2012, go eat some ice cream. Go for a walk. Tell the people around you that love them. Live life, don't wait for a moment that may never happen.
