2012012012012012012012.

This is largely influenced by the much overhyped feature film that unsettled many,and disturbed many more(I mean seriously,why do they keep talking about breast enhancements ? :| )

Replete with a wide array of natural disasters,each more devastating than the other and an equally devastating taste in dogs(chihuahuas ? WITHOUT Paris Hilton ? Seriously ?) this movie was set to put forth to the world what was to come in a couple of years,or so they professed.While in all fairness,the earthquakes,megatsunamis,volcanoes and Ash storms did seem frighteningly real,the element of reason was a concept lost on the producers.

The incredulities of the movie apart,The prospect of what might really happen in 2012 still scares me like nothing else,well except paranormal activity,but that doesn't count. I digress. The Mayans,the duffers that they were,knew this for over a thousand years,yet did absolutely nothing about it.No rescue mission,no plan B.They couldn't even effectively communicate their findings to the rest of the world,leaving information in cryptic calendars and handing over the responsibility to characters like Nostradamus, who could put my digressions to shame.

Apparently,Judgement Day has been known for quite a while,interpreted differently by different folk.The norse called it Ragnarok,and theatrical as they are they pictured a muilti limbed mega sized monster making Humankind extinct. Catholics had a more peaceful version, they called it the apocalypse, which etymologically means unveiling. Being poetic to the level of outrage they described the gory,watery end of the Earth as a peaceful opening of the curtain to heaven.Abrahamic relegions,talk about a messiah,who will usher good people into heaven and the sun swallows the moon while the little dog laughs to see such fun and the dish runs away with the spoon,or er something like that.

While they all point in different directions,the central idea remains the same.The world is gonna end someday.We can only hope That someday is in a different time and a different place and wakes up as a different person :|
Or that it's in a galaxy far far away.


And now before i get carried away and start talking about Quentin Tarantino,let's consider our options with regard to this phenomenon. Let's start off by presuming the world is not gonna end(It just cannot,the Fifa world cup in Brazil is in 2014,wait for your turn apocalypse).Nope it's not happening.No this is not denial,no it's not,nope,Damn you.

Okay,say the world does end ? Is that so bad ? I'm sure we can find wormholes and pigeonholes and loopholes in the space-time-continuum or assholes who'll find them for us.Or we could just go back 20000 years and point and laugh at naked junglepeople who didn't know about fire. Best Case scenario,let's just sit and wait for that Savior dude to come with a much bigger ark than Noah's.Noah was a dumbass anyway,why couldn't he just squat the mosquito when he had the chance? Or,more practically,nations could pool in their resources and make a mega sub station suspended over the middle east with uncrushable titanium pipes extracting oil for fuel.Or better still,let's trust the movie, save up and have a long winter vacation in Africa three years hence.

Doesn't look too good does it ? Hope for the best. I'm not too worried,only I am. And no,I don't intend to confuse people with conflicting statements.Let's just call me an oxy-moron and move on to the next dimension :|
