Ok ok. I tend to shirk off doomsday predictions ever since I got my panties in a wad about Y2K. There I was at midnight, at a lame party, thinking I would be stranded, and my Buick wouldn't start and I'd have to hitch a ride from a classic car or something, maybe a horse. Then midnight came, and I started my car, and I drove home, had a sigh of relief, a chuckle... About 3 weeks ago, I met this Puerto Rican guy by chance, and he mentioned a youtube video entitled: Nibiru 2. He said it had something to do with a government coverup and something about the planets aligning on 2012 and the end of our Earth...ok, how about some light dinner conversation from a complete stranger. Anyway, my bf overheard the conversation, and as soon as we got home, he watched the video. I overheard the music, but did not watch the visual. The music sounded cool, but he warned me not to watch it. Well, this morning, he started telling me about the details of planet Pluto, and how it was set on a collision course for a position between the sun and our Earth and that this only happened around the time of the dinosaurs, like every so billions of yrs ago and how our recorded history doesn't go far back enough to really know what happened with Pluto at the time. He also said it was hypothesized that Saturn's asteroid belt could have been made up from debris from the last collision course, that it may have been another planet's moon..or something. And he mentioned that a movie is coming out this year titled: 2012. He told me all this right after I woke up and said he had been thinking about what may happen for the past 4 hrs(he awoke at 4am). I was like, "Why are you depressing me first thing in the morning?" I was getting hungry and wanted coffee. My tummy was rumbling. He mentioned he had a nitemare. So that explains it. Anyway, I want to think positively, but I can't help thinking that at the age of 37, I haven't really accomplished half of what I wanted to do with my life. I haven't impressed the people who matter most. I dropped out of college-majored in a degree that I shouldn't have, it's like I never really had a set straight path laid out for me. It's like I was bumbling through life. And if the world is going to hell in a handbasket in less than 4 yrs, what do I have to show for it? He was so depressing though. He said,"Well, it wouldn't matter what your accomplishments were, the world wouldn't be here anymore." But I don't feel that way. It's like I really really want to accomplish something that I dreamed about when I was a teenager, but never had the money, or encouragement, or options. Then he mentioned that Bill Gates had just built a bunker in the Alps and it was probably for the 2012 "fiasco". He also said, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if all the web sites and stuff about 2012 is just a big publicity stunt for the movie coming out, like Blair Witch? Remember Blair Witch? When I first saw that, I thought it was real..you remember that?"

I was under the impression that it's going to be a polar shift, something documented by the Mayan calendar. It all has to end sometime and we can't live our lives as if they will end at any moment. I forget where I read it but "live every day as if it were your last but plan for a long life". I think that's great advice.

I guess I can start smoking now and eating trans fats and corn syrup and not really worry about bungie jumping either. Maybe I shouldn't worry about losing weight. ANd I should start having a wild time with hot young guys. Ahahahaha

Not exactly the attitude I'd hoped to foster, but it's better than your getting frown lines!
