On Fridays I always blog about hair or lack of it, but not today. There is a subject way more pressing. The world is coming to an end. And more importantly I did not know. How could I have missed this?
And here is how I found out............
In the mornings I often call my friends and family in Europe. It is a great time for me in terms of energy, brain space and time difference. I often have the best conversations and I really enjoy them. In fact when I am back in their time zone, I know I will miss these random (their time) afternoon chats.
Anyway, today I had the pleasure to chat to my sensible friend (this is what she calls herself ;-).
As I was detailing to her my travel plans for the Christmas holidays, she realized that I would be in the air when the world comes to and end! What? I had no clue what was she on about? The world is coming to an end? No one told me! What am I missing? Help!
Apparently the Brits are stocking up on their baked beans to prepare for the events that are about to unfold. Really? I tell you, if the world was coming to an end, it’s not baked beans I would be eating, but that is digressing.
So my curiosity got the better of me and after a few minutes googling here is what I found:
This Friday on 21st December 2012, at the winter solstice, planet Earth will go out with a bang. This is the prediction of the Mayans. This will mark the end of 5125-year-long cycle.
I am so confused? Whose solstice? EST or GMT?
So will I be saved if I am in the air at this time. Where the hell will we land?
Anyway let me know what you are doing to prepare and when (or if) it actually happens.
If not, see you back for Mondays blog :-)
Ok friend of mine.. you need to start listening to the news more!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is ALL my kids have talked about for one year now. Today was hugs and kisses and worries and gmy girl even some tears. We laugh it off and tell them silly but every kid today is going to school frightened!!!!!
I hate this day bc I find this media hype is so stupid.
So of course the world will not end. And I am with you if it is baked beans is the last bloody thing I will be eating.
I will get high for the first (and last) time in my life, sleep with a gorgeous 20 yr old guy and eat a cupcake during my last minutes.(a bit of a joke I guess)
Won't sign my name but you know who I am . Our next naughty date will be reading the paper together:))) (with some curry and weed-hahahaha)
