So I was researching about "the 2012 thing". You know, the "2012
thing", yeah, that.
It was all because I was making a widget for Apple's dashboard that
would tell me how long left till the end of the world, because I was
hoping the world would end on 2012 december. Why did I hope it would
end then? Because it was a close date, and I like close dates for
things I want to happen!!
Anyhow, so what I read... actually turned out to be VERY DIFFERENT
than all the nutters out there are saying it is!
Turns out... 2012 is just another day. How humorous, all this time I
had this date in my head with great expectations for it, and it's
actually just another date.
Yes Dec 21 2012 IS a winter solstice, and numerically it is a pretty
cool number, cos it's got lots of 1's, 2's and 0's. The year also adds
up to 5, which is a favourite number of mine (for logical reasons
actually). And this date IS the end of one cycle of the Mayan
calender... but it is not a special date, just the date that starts at
13.0.0.0.0.0 . It's no more special than the year 2000 is to us
Gregorian calender people. Or the year 1000.

Pond scum that tells stories, is still pond scum.
The human condition is a meaningless situation.
No more meaningful than pond scum.
The global situation may be "meaningful", but even then,
we have only our stories. Deceit serves our hubris.
No date, except hubris driven stories.
So don't take it personally. It doesn't "matter".

> Turns out... 2012 is just another day.
Is today just another day, if you look upon the graphs for ecological
change, scientific evolution, and so on?
According to the graphs, you are inside of a period with enormous
ecological change and scientific evolution.
Infact, the year 2012 could just be the mediate of the
transformational period you already are experiencing.

At a galactic level, one day, and one year, is an immeasurably small
amount of time.
If there is a wind of charged particles from the galactic core
converging with your solar system in 2012.
I am sure some of those charged particles in the wind from the
galactic core, already has reached your solar system long ago.

I always thought it had something to do with the egyption calender
ending,and the mayan calender ending on the same day,but it was
december 21st 2112,or 12,21,2112, our calender is seven years out
anyways,the world may end,it may not,who cares?MY world ends when I
die. and I could be wrong,it's been known to happen.

"Despite the publicity generated by the 2012 date, Susan Milbraath,
curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of
Natural History, stated that "We [the archaeological community] have
no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would
come to an end" in 2012.
"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end
of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the
Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal
River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic
shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot
of people to cash in."
