2012

I think the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 because by then nobody will be using anything but electronic calendars anymore. duh. Even old school natives could foresee the palm pilot.

I also think that the demise of Circuit City will in the end have had much to do with this.

Bahahahaha. I just imagined the earth going on it’s merry way and then suddenly flipping over and everyone smashing into ceilings or floating off into the sky and plans smashing into the ground. It was funny in my head.

hummmmm Dang! I have to agree with you 🙂

I pretty much read the beginning and the end of this entry. I don’t believe in that shiz either, but I get absurdly paranoid and worked up when I read about it. So, since I really do think it’s all bunk, I simply avoid the subject! I’m a dork; I know this.

This is how it will go down: http://www.endofworld.net/

oh come on! it’s fun to think that the world will end.

this is great. I am going to print it and give it to SM. He makes me watch all the doomesday crap on the History channel. I remember one particular episode on 12-21-12 that said the Mayan calendar wasn’t the only calendar that ended there – something about Copernicus and some other russian dude, I don’t remember, I fell asleep. But it was making an argument for 12-21-12 because it wasn’t just themayans. Eh, whatever. I’ll be pissed if the world ends then because that’s the year child support ends and we’ll finally be on 2 full incomes. I know, I suck.

I am excited to think that the world could end on my 28th birthday. I’ll have a big cake and we’ll have a doomsday party.

Not to quibble, but some asteroids don’t leave a spectroscopic imprint. Anyway, I totally was unfazed by the 2012 stuff until I heard a physicist on Nova (I think), make an argument that in 2012 there will be a solar flare that knocks out a bunch of satellites, causing some trouble to the business sector. That, I guess, could lead to an economic depression?

This entry ruled. The first line and last paragraph had me rolling! Seriously though, entries like this need to be publicly published. I LOVED THIS cause I so share your viewpoint. That and I laughed like a little bitch. Kudos!

Microsoft Windows 2013 will be released on that day and the entire world will suffer a blue screen of death.

so i guess in 2012 it’ll be time for us to start building a new temple. i think that’s why that mayans did when a new cycle started. build a new temple or a new temple around a smaller temple…something like that. maybe the world will end because we build to big of a temple and it’ll fall on us and squish us all and the world shall end with a SPLAT!

lol, i just heard the other day we’re suppose to have a huge volcanoe that is going to end life in the entire North American continent. 😛

If you’re going to be obsessed with the end of the world, TEOTWAWKI is a much more interesting scenario. It’s not really the end of the world, just the collapse of the economy and society and very interesting to theorize what you would need to survive. Sadly, it’s also much more realistic.

The world is going to end when I die. That’s the only absolute I know.

People will use any excuse to create drama.

I know, seriously. Like we’re even going to make it to 2012.

Maybe people are just tired of living on this planet? “Omg is it FINALLY the apocalypse? Jesus I’ve been waiting forever, this is worse than a doctor’s office.”

But if I return my duct tape, how will I tape myself to the world when there is no gravity? Wait, gravity has nothing to do with the polar shifts, does it? Hm. Shit, I don’t know what’s funnier to read, your entry or the notes left behind… I vote both, and figure at the rate I am going, I’m going to sleep through the end of the world, anyways.

Indeed.

I want Youtube to tape reactions of the crazies on that day. *miss

grr enter button. I want Youtube to tape the reactions of the crazies that day. I have a mental image of them all hundled in their basements praying and then nothing. ha ha ha

You couldn’t have driven the point home any better with out posting a GBS vid!

oooh i’m looking forward to 2029…that should be a visually exciting experience!

you make valid points, but it’s hard to get past the fact that you’re writing a paper on this culture and insist on spelling it as ‘the Maya cal.’ instead of The Mayan – with the N, which is it’s proper spelling.

Saw your entry on the front page, and I had to read it. You make excellent points, and I love the comments people left. It made my day 🙂 I did want to comment on the polar shift issue – its my understanding that there is conclusive evidence to the magnetic field shifting in Earth’s history (keep in mind Im not very familiar with this, Im just a college student taking an Earth history/geology…

class, so you could very well be more informed than I am) but from my understanding, there is conclusive proof in the rock record that even shows us what point in history these shifts occured. And it is also my understanding that Earth is over due for another shift, but as far as I know, there is no way of knowing exactly when that shift will occur. I thought it was a sudden shifting, which is…

I completely agree with you. When I first heard about all of this stuff, my first thought was, “THE WORLD WILL END ONLY DAYS AFTER I PAY OFF MY FRIST CAR!!!!!” lol I read up on some of it (honestly, it doesn’t interest me that much) and I never came across anything that said the world was going to end – just that their cyclical calendar would end and, “things would change.”

why the evidence is so prominent in the rock record, but maybe Im wrong. Im not sure. But all this rediculous talk about the world will end just because the magnetic field of the Earth will be reversed again is so stupid! In my opinion, the worst this shifting could do is just screw up our electronics for awhile, but most rational people dont seem to think this will happen, so I dont know why…

everyone is freaking out! I guess we all enjoy a good horror story, and whats better than imagining our own destruction? I enjoy listening to the rediculous speculations about how our world will end next.

As for Bible prophecy…the Bible says that even Jesus doesn’t know when the world will end…that He’s waiting on God to give Him the ‘go-ahead’ to rapture the Christians. And while, yes, some prophecies from the Bible are coming true NOW, if Jesus Himself doesn’t know when the world will end, I don’t know why people believe the end of an ancient calender depicts the end of the world.

Something I read a month or so again said that the Mayans predicted that the last cycle will end in 2012 and there will be no cycles after that point. Then again, I’m sure I’ll read something tomorrow that says Nostradamus predicted that everyone in the world will get a terrible foot fungus in 2010 and it will lead to the ruination of China.

Thank you. Someone needed to say this!

Haha! You were on the front page, Reader’s Choice. Woot 🙂 and I agree with you, lol.

i love quantum leap and tegan and sara! we’re twins!

There’s another theory, because on or around that date, all the planets are going to align with the sun, and some part of the milky way, and people are freaking out that there’s going to be so much gravitational force it’s going to destroy us all. C’mon now, didn’t anyone watch the 5th element? It’s all gonna be peachy 😛

I have heard all of those theories too. I think worrying about 2012 is like worrying about what God thinks about you while you are masturbating. Who cares? If God wants to talk to you about how you touch yourself when you die, fine…but until then you don’t even know how powerful his telescope is so stop sweating it. People are fat ugly cows. I hate almost all of them.

LOL. I know where your coming from. One of the guys I work with is OBSESSED about the world ending!!! I keep telling him all the nice little facts that you have just relayed…which apparently others can’t wrap their minda around. Good grief. At this rate, I hope the world would end sooner, just so I don’t have to listen to it any more!!!

Heh… that’s amusing. This is the first entry I’ve read since typing my own first entry earlier this morning. I’ve got a friend of 16 years or so that’s all into this 2012 thing. ‘course he’s a huge conspiracy theorist anyway… and we enjoy debating. But in the end I agree with you entirely. You should read my entry, we might have similar interests.

People must be buying into it more so in Canada than here in the states. It is rarely even talked about over here, except for among the New Age crowd, which we say it’s just going to change a shift in consciousness or do nothing at all. But either way, it’s all just one big marketing ploy like Y2K was. ~*Samantha*~

I want you to know that I tapped my memory of this entry to totally pwn a coworker yesterday. She was going on about the Mayans and I was like, “you think it’s weird they could predict the end of the world but not the end of their own civilization?” and she stopped and was like… “oh”
