My best shot at surviving the 21st of December is get through the 30th of November, then move on to the 1st of December, then the following day.
Hopefully; you get the idea.

It's been a hell of a ride humanity...
Lived through so many end of the world dates.. but they are kinda fun..
Ever realized that billions of people will die in your lifetime?
YER GUNNA DIE
I'm one who thinks we are immortal and some kind of life goes on...
Dying dosn't seem like a tragedy if that is true.. but damn it hurts to losing someone you love.
Might be a mercy if we can all move on together.
If so Hope we all have a great time somewhere together.

after life is only death, i.e. nothing happens.
however, nothing is going to happen 12-21-12 - The Mayans got tired of counting and stopped making their calendars.

I'm such an idiot, I had the best idea last night....
I should have made 21 day advent apocalypse chocolate calendars!!!
Less chocolate so they could be sold for cheaper than the Xmas ones!
I'd be so f*#king rich right now!! At least until Dec 22 when everyone came looking for a refund- next apocalypse for sure....
Other business ideas for the apocalypse:
The Mayan can opener- runs on solar power. This will keep you alive & allow you some first world luxury in post apocalyptic times.

i'm hoping to cruise through this crap and let 12/21/12 go the route of the harmonic convergence, which didn't seem to do diddly, and the apocalypse which seventh day adventists keep moving back every time it doesn't happen. and i don't like this interfering with the holiday season--all that money i'm gonna spend on christmas presents i might not even be able to give.
but ...
i'm taking this halfway seriously because of something which happened to me 3-4 years ago, which you might find a bit creepy, but which you're free to dismiss as just another of my ghost stories.
to give a short version, i had had a couple of dreams about my late mother, dreams that seemed conciliatory and communicative, the two of us sitting down at a small restaurant table for dinner, conversation, and maybe some explanation about issues which had never been resolved when she was alive.
i was expecting something from mom at this time because of these dreams. what happened surprised me, and it happened twice.
mom had lived with us in our home in northridge the last six months of her life. she suffered a difficult death due to emphysema, and it was also difficult to be close to her and to try to show her our love. i think a lot of people go through this. no matter how wonderful a person you may be during most of your life, the obvious coming of death can make you just plain cranky. mom wanted to move back to arizona, to be independent, but it couldn't happen. and so, after she died, a bit of her unhappy presence seemed to remain with us.
i arrived home one evening from my selling job in the south bay, and as i pulled into the driveway, my cellphone rang. i checked to see who was calling. the number was our home telephone. no one else was at home. i wasn't sure what to do, so i went into the house to see who was calling, but by then the phone stopped ringing. it left a time stamp, a few days before 12/21/12. i think it was 12/18/12. i had heard about the maya long count. somehow, this seemed like a connection to all that.
i showed this time stamp to my wife mariko, who has been a frequent consultant on such matters, and i also showed it around to a few fellow salesmen at work, who seemed to get a bit creeped out. no one could offer an explanation as to how a cellphone would produce a time stamp with a date in the future.
a couple days later, it occurred again, except that the time stamp was normal. but i drove up in the driveway, nobody at home, and my cellphone was being called again by my home phone. maybe i was afraid to answer it. again, i went inside and it stopped ringing.
as an aside, i've taken an amateur interest in maya archaeology over the years, not with any of this mystical pistical in mind, just out of a general fascination. the maya, i find, were an expression of culture which began with the olmec and ended with the aztec. human sacrifice was an important part of these cultures. don't think that christianity has offered anything morally "superior", with its phony wars demanding cannon fodder of every generation and its basically gruesome and morbid, although nicely sanitized, reenactment of the death of jesus and the eating of his body.
the mesoamerican cultures sacrificed humans at a seemingly incredible rate in order to keep their gods placated so that they would not destroy the earth. if you look at the history of christian wars, always fought for compelling reasons, you will find a similar, if not more dismal, compulsion towards "sacrifice". recently i read that martin luther had mused, "if a soldier dies in battle, it is the will of god."
i do hope, and i would pray if i knew whom to pray to, that these damnably negative traditions might change at some time soon in the future. 12/21/12 would be as good a date as any. i think it's long overdue.
afterwards, erik? just give us our lovely planet earth, and a chance, for the first time ever, to be civilized.

Trying to stay conscious of the experience long enough until I am reborn. But as has happened that last 3,456,971 times, I forget everything just before I'm reborn/conceived (a little mouse informed me of this). But it's different when I was coming back as plants. Of course I had no consciousness... there was that time I was as dumb as a stump.... wait, I was a stump!

Ain't sh#t out of the ordinary that will happen tomorrow. Or, one thing I am 100% certain of anyway, that is, the world ain't gonna end anytime soon.
Just for the record, as far as the bible goes, the world isn't gonna end period, but it does say that the tribulation will come and reek havoc on it etc (wars, natural disasters, huge earthquake that will take out 100's of millions, etc) but it ain't gonna end. Although humanity would destroy itself (threw war/nuclear war, evidently) if there wasn't divine intervention. Or so that is how many people interpret Revelations and JC prophecy in the NT, etc!
I don't mean to start some epic discussion here, just saying how the Christian church sees it. Also, doods that set a time on it, like the dood/church a year or so ago, are wack (i know, U think all Christians are wack, lol) because, no one knows the exact times or date (but you can know the signs that it is near).

You're either on the bus or waiting at the bus stop.
The Mayans were also known to use mind altering religious substances such as psilocybin mushrooms. There have been many hieroglyphics and statues found with mushrooms on them. There are also records from some of the first Spanish priests of the use of the mushrooms (which they tried to stop).

As for me, had a cholestorol-rich dinner and a fine, fine Cinnabar cabernet. (This from the old Fox Hollow vines off Hwy 9, before they ripped out and replanted with Phyloxera-resistant strains. They're not making any more of that old-school stuff.) Will sleep in tomorrow and see if I wake up dead.

1. The sun rose this morning.
2. No earthquake. locusts, floods or revolution.
Who interpreted this thing anyway? What a let-down - guess I better do some Christmas shopping after all.
Happy Solstice, everyone!
