As I type this, it is a little after six O' Clock on May 21st, 2011. I am most pleased to announce that, at least as far as I'm able to determine, the world did not end. I'm really happy about that. For one thing I would have missed having my blueberry crepes at Bob Evans tomorrow morning. That would have sucked.
It was supposed to start in New Zealand, approximately 17 hours ago. My friend Barry in NZ reports that NZ is still there, as well.
I'm sure all the folks betting money on 12-21-2012 are happy it didn't happen, too.
I have to ask........ WTF is with all the fascination with these doomsday predictions?? Am I the only one who wants to live for more than another year or so?
No one has ever accused me of being a "Bible Thumper," but I am a Christian, and pretty much go with what the Bible passes along. Christ himself said "Ye do not know the time or day..." You don't know it, I don't know it, Nostradamus didn't know it, the Mayans didn't know it, and Harold Camping obviously didn't know it.
Quite frankly, I plan on being around and enjoying LIFE for many years - and that includes celebrating the New Year on January 1, 2013. I suggest we all take a deep breath, and concentrate on making things better for the living, instead of wasting so much time and energy on scientifically and spiritually unfounded myths.
Just my $0.02 worth.
