January 1st 2012
Greetings My Dear Readers,
It’s been awhile. It’s certainly been a rollercoaster, but as you can see I’m still here.
Welcome to 2012. The countdown has begun… Or has it?
2012 signals the end of the Mayan Calendar on the winter solstice December 21st 2012.
Due to the highly advanced nature of the Mayan culture and their sudden virtual and unexplained disappearance many people have interpreted the end of this Calendar as the end of the world.
This so called coming end of the world has been portrayed as either:
- A massive global calamity such as a polar shift that results in cataclysmic upheaval that essentially eliminates all biological life on the planet.
- A solar kill shot or coronal mass ejection that sterilizes the planet.
- An asteroid or comet collision with the earth that eliminates all life on the planet.
The doomsayers and even the mass media are having a heyday with this and heralding the end of the world.
The new age thinkers view the end of the Mayan Calendar as a coming global awakening and shift in human consciousness that will bring peace and harmony to the world.
Astrologists will tell you that Winter Solstice 2012 signals the end of the age of Aquarius and the beginning of the age of Pisces.
Then finally Historians will tell you that that the Mayan Calendar is cyclical and it’s ending on December 21st 2012 simply means that the Calendar begins again on December 22nd 2012.
Regardless of which one of these groups is right or whether they are all wrong and December 21st brings something no one has predicted, one thing is for certain…
Winter Solstice 2012 will truly be, to quote R.E.M., the end of the world as we know it.
Personally, on December 21st I’m going to have a drink and toast the end of the world. Then on December 22nd I’m going to get up and go to work, business as usual.
Until next time,
As Always,
Your Cold Hearted Bastard,
D.
