Meaningless Ramblings

I was talking to a friend today. He looked a little upset, and said, “Yeah… I’m a little worried, I guess.” Of course, I asked him why. He said this:

December 12, 2012.

Of course, this confused me. I asked him what the big deal is. I jokingly thought “it’s not like the end of the world or anything.” Well, he thinks so. Apparently, December 12, 2012 or the 21st is day of the Apocalypse. [let's let that sink in for a moment]

I, being a Christian am a little doubtful, seeing as how the Bible says nobody knows the day of the Apocalypse. Well, the Bible was written by man. Man is wrong. The Bible was also changed a lot throughout the years…

Of course, I can’t talk to a pastor about this, or else I’ll be shunned by everyone… No bueno. But yeah… I investigated a little, and here is the evidence I found for the 12/12/12 theory.

1.) The Mayans predicted it.

-As any history class will tell you, the Mayans were known for extremely accurate calendars and astrological predictions. Their calendar cycle predicts 2012 as the Day of Doom.

2.) The Bible, if read a certain way [Bible Code] tells us the day.

-Of course, this to me sounds like you’re making stuff up to back up a theory. It could be coincidence, but then again, the codes could be Divinely put in there. If you looked at this posting alone, you may find something that predicts tomorrow’s outcome. Or you may figure out my name, age, bra size and if I’m shaven or not… Who knows?

3.) This is all very well, and certainly is weak. But what does Nostradamus, the most popular person in this field, think? Well, in my personal search, nothing much was found, but I did run across something that mentioned he predicted the end three times, two of them bring wrong.

4.) A side note here: starting in 2001 [the year of the terrorist attack] an interesting thing arose. Take these dates in consideration: 01/01/01, 02/02/02, 03/03/03, 04/04/04, 05/05/05, 06/06/06, 07/07/07, 08/08/08, 09/09/09, 10/10/10, 11/11/11, and finally, what completes it but 12/12/12?! Let’s use the old saying “In like a lion, out like a lamb.” The pattern came in viciously, so will it end like a lamb? [Lamb of God... I know. Clever, right?]

Anyway, who knows what will happen? There have been tons of books written on the matter, and this website explores past Apocalypse dates: http://www.abhota.info/end1.htm

I read through most of it, and laughed at some of the predictions… What I want to know is, how will you spend the day before the supposed Apocalypse?

As for me, I’ll probably end up forgetting about it until I see Jesus at my doorstep. [Not trying to be sacreligious, but you've got to laugh sometimes...] If I happen to remember, I’ll probably party like there’s no tomorrow! ^_^ It may or may not [but probably will] include doing things I’ve never [or plan to] accomplished, such as

Parasailing.

Scuba diving.

One last romantic dinner with my love. It’ll include wine, roses and falling asleep in his arms.

Depp-a-thon. [watching ALL the Johnny Depp movies EVER.]

Hanging out with my best friend… Probably doing the previous thing.

Going to as many amusement parks as humanly possible.

Yup. That, I think, pretty much sums it up. And if it’s not the Apocalypse, then at least I’ll have one kickin’ day! [or week...]
