The year the world would end

[Sepia]

There is a fire in the sky and fireworks in the rain, here we were, the masses gathered to watch and participate and rejoice and be overcome by it, the sensation, the death of it us meager men and women scratching for something. Lost but none know where, there are shadows here, dreams are uneasy and uncertain but we know that god is watching, we know he sees us, we know he becomes us as our transition comes and every interpretation of death will now be sat to eary december twenties and there are probably many peope that believe it will end and more will come this year, the gathering of crows looking for their profit, smelling their pound of flesh but will there be a prophet, will there be a Promethea to usher in the end of the world?

Some say we are the shadows of four-dimensional objects, others say we are the lost colony that ventured out from kobol, some say we are the future and that the end of the world is an evolution in the sense of the mind because we use so little of it some say it is when the river of souls intersect with our reality and we meet them all, all the dead gods some say it is the wrath, the reckoning, others say it will be nuclear but all of them believe in the disintegration of our civilization

How many hope that it is the end?

At times I hope for it, I long and yearn for it but that is a passing darkness mended with coffee and cigarettes, a bite to eat or something else trivial, like ants we specialize and we are monsters now, we are shadows being trailed and now everyone might question themselves how we are going extinct but none will ask the heavens above if we deserve it

If the world ends it will end for no good factual reason at all but that will never matter, we will cease to be in that apocalyptic moment when Terim and Tarim join again

Do we deserve our death? is the question that will not be asked because it cant be sold or bartered with but just based on myself I would say yes and if I look around it feels more and more that this feeling of deja vu and it is a future memory and a bullet in the right place in the right time can change the world

Meh, the world better go on a few more decades if you ask me, I have too many plans. And I haven't done much to bring on the Apocalypse as far as i know. 

BUT the most interesting (read: ridiculous) 2012 phenomenon is that of Timewave Zero:

"Timewave Zero is a numerological formula that purports to calculate the ebb and flow of "novelty", defined as increase over time in the universe's interconnectedness, or organized complexity. According to Terence McKenna, the universe has a teleological attractor at the end of time that increases interconnectedness, eventually reaching a singularity of infinite complexity in 2012, at which point anything and everything imaginable will occur simultaneously."

Now THAT I'd like to see! Imagine all the nasty things that would happen...nasty things involving family members, duckbilled platypuses and oil rigs.

Timewave Zero is one of those weird pieces of modern eschatology that I absolutely love. McKenna's thoughts were so far out there that he died of brain cancer. That's what he gets for hanging out with Machine Elves, those bastards are radioactive as fuck. Also, I hear freebasing isn't good for you.

Don't really know anything about it, other than that it's periodically amusing. Found a post from it a few months ago and added it to my feed.
