2012- Who really cares? by Garrett R

2012 has already been listed as the worst year of my existence and it hasn't even begun yet. A lot of people are talking about it now that we are in the same decade as the dreaded fear-year that marks the end of the world. It is as if upon clearing the 2010 mark, a perceptual wall has dissolved and now the hot-topic has drifted from Tiger Woods' crumbling dignity, Jesus' face seen in someones morning dump, and finally the end-all to everything that is or has ever been...2012. While the level hasn't reached hysteria yet, it will. Everyone will explore for answers, but never prepare for what they get from them, until the time comes. Which makes me wonder...why talk about it at all? And if you are holed up in your basement fortified into a nuclear shelter...good for you. Doing something to protect yourself from the world. Really. Good for you. It is more than a lot of people can say about themselves. I would do it too...I just don't have the patience for that, nor am I afraid of death...so...*ends self explanation*
Basically, I hate talking about 2012 because people are stupid. Now everyone is thinking why I didn't just say that...And I tell you this...I want this blog to look impressive and long, so I will go on as many tangents as I want and you better not question my judgement you Frenchified Coccydynia.(Frenchified meaning to be made French AKA less than valuable or worthless and Coccydynia meaning pain in the ass) Oh yes. I said it.

I must make note of the AMAZING half-hour of an all too long movie obviously titled "2012". Sure, the animations and effects seemed to fall in quality half way through the movie and it ended in a sappy and all-to-predictable manner similar to "Twister." "2012" has this amazing series of scenes in which we see the fall of human structures by natural causes and the vulnerability of humanity as a whole. During this, the main group of "heroes" is running for their lives through all of it, and while it was uncreative, it was very realistic and even physically draining to watch. It was very intense and makes you think, "Wow, this would be really terrible." But enough about entertainment...let's focus on the facts and opinions of 2012.

Now I do not claim to be an expert on the end of the world. However I am aware of several theories:

1. The End of the World Version 1: Natural Disasters due to Global Climate Change (December 20th, 2012)

2. The End of the World Version 2: Nuclear War due to lack of tolerance of others beliefs or the even more ironic method that is an overkill of defensive missiles that through a whole bunch of scientific crap I don't understand kills us all. Like I said, I'm no expert. (Date irrelevant to 2012, could happen tomorrow)

3. The End of the World Version 3: Aliens, Paranormal and the mystery about what the Mayan interpretations mean. (Dec 20th, 2012)

Here I should make a side-note: While researching, I found so much contradictory information from "official" sources. Hell, I found two identical pictures of Mayan runes with different translations under them. People are twisting our apparent fate to their liking...which is just silly.

4. ZOMBIES!!!

5. Nothing Happens just like Y2K, 6-6-06, and other hyped scares

Really, that's it. And frankly, I have to agree with the latter. And if it is not that, then it will be of natural causes. Let's face it. If the Mayans could predict the end of the world accurately it would have to be something that has a noticeable trend, like nature. I say this because you cannot ignore the fact that the Mayan civilization has since dissolved from forces not related to nature or at least, unpredictable IN nature. Thus they could not predict bombs going off or the coming of aliens because those things are completely of their own mind. (just assuming here that if aliens do exist, they are of free will and not creatures of such precise habit)
Basically, I am saying that if the Mayans could not predict their own demise from Spanish Conquerors, how the hell could they predict anything further in the future?

I am being logical. Laying my argument down here so that in the event someone dares to ask me, "What are your thoughts on 2012?" I will simply to tell them to read this...and promptly walk away so I can enjoy my last 2.something years.


Now get out of my face you Frenchified coccydynias...

Until the End,
Garrett Radant
