This evening I'm going to be prepping my bunker, just in case. It's interesting that the Mayans never predicted the end of the world on tomorrow's date. In fact, the date is only ever mentioned once in any known text we have. It is simply the end of the long count calendar. There is even a known writing that mentions dates far beyond the winter solstice of 2012. Yet somehow a bunch of people are trippin'. Is it still cool to say that?
Tomorrow marks the end of the 4th age. According to ancient Mayans, human beings first appeared at the beginning of the 4th age. So what happens in the 5th age? The calendar starts over from the beginning. A little anti-climactic, but still, it's always fun to prepare, just in case. If the world explodes or it magically rains fireballs, my bunker, or yours, or anyone's, probably won't save you, but it for some reason we have a total breakdown of society, or zombies... Better to be safe than sorry.
Consider this also, as you head to your end of the world parties, will you be happy with your choice of who you spent your last moments with? And when the world doesn't end, will you be grateful? Will you be thankful for things that you normally take for granted? Will the colors of nature be brighter, and the notes of a song be warmer? Probably not. I think most people stop appreciating life when they "grow up," it's sad really. The zombies appreciate your life, so much that they want to eat it! "RRRGGHBBBUUUD!!" That's zombie for, "Your life tastes delicious!"
I try to live as if the world is ending every day. Some days are better than others, but overall, I'd be okay if the world ended. ESPECIALLY, if I got to kill some zombies first.
