When I got married, deep down I knew it was a bad decision, for years I thought it was simply because I was "slightly" hung-over.However, after the recent ramblings of some sci-fi friends of mine I realize that I was right all along. The problem was I got married December 21 (many years ago)...so maybe now being close to a divorce after an eight year separation I can say to all of the nay-sayers that yes I did marry the devil (snicker) after all Dec 21 2012 may very well be the end of the world, according to Mayan Calendar experts.
Ah, sweet revenge...the cruel irony of it all....little did I know that Dec 21 ended my life and now it will end the world...lol!!!
At least the mounting fear that a very nearing day could be the death of us all — or at least a very bad day for some. Don't get married that day ;) it happens to revolve around Dec. 21, 2012, when the 5,125-year long count cycle of the Mayans' calendar draws to an abrupt close.
Works like Michael Drosnin's best seller, The Bible Code, predict space meteors may plow into the earth.
Self-described alien contactee and author, Riley Martin, has made arguments and comments that a great mother ship could return in 2012.
You get the jist.
Some scientists argue an alignment of our entire solar system will take place, though according to the Journal Nature, it will be roughly 30 million years before it happens.
My personal favorite theory is a legendary and much debated heavenly body — often dubbed Planet X — will enter our solar system to throw our world for a loop. Sounds like something out of a bad 80's movie doesn't it.
Devastating earthquakes, hurricanes, spiking global temperatures and tsunamis, Joseph makes a case that modern science and old beliefs are converging on 2012, and that it could be a cataclysmic, or at least pivotal, point in human history.
The good news is many scientists say foretelling future events in the lifespan of the world is like predicting where the very first raindrop will land during a storm, and we all know how "accurate" the weather - person is now don't we ;)
And Canadian-born academic and Maya authority, Sandra Noble, believes too many people have hijacked an important and triumphant date — the survival and evolution of an ancient calendar — and turned it into a foreboding threat. Any physical anomalies the Earth may go through are not related to the end of one measurement and the start of a new cycle, she adds.
"It's just another chance, like Y2K, to publish a book," says Noble, the executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies (www.famsi.org) in Florida.
There even exists a lingering debate about just when the Maya calendar ends its phase — possibly two days later, on Dec. 23, 2012.
So, all that December, just relax and party like it's — in the Maya way — "13.0.0.0.0 4 Ajaw 3 K'ank'in."
The earth is facing alot of problems right now and in the very, very near future but remember one important truth:
Come January your bills will still be due!
