Great song. What's so big about the end of the Mayan calendar anyway? We end a calendar ever year and the only tragic thing is the we get given a couple more of the bloody things to hang up and remind ourselves of how fast it's all going.
Hey there, Groover. I had to look up the Mayan calendar reference. Honestly I had no idea they ran out of numbers this year. Well, the Mayan world ended centuries ago so they sure got that one wrong.
It's sad that there'll be no REM in 2012, but then there's been no band worth listening to since the nineties and I've only listened to classical music for years now so it won't affect me too much.
Ah. Apparently it's supposed to go to pot on the 21st December, so we can kiss godbye to Santa and all the faffy marketing frivolites of that time of year. Oh, except that it's all got something to do with the winter solstice, too, so it's only you folks up there that are in a bit of strife. I'm planning on getting a surfboard so I can ride the year out on a tidal wave.
We have to wait ALL YEAR? Can't they fix it so the world ends before the smegging US elections? I really don't enjoy vomiting enough to have to suffer another one of those.
Well, at least this time we won't have people with placards pestering us to repent. Fools. The world will end with a whimper, not a bang.
The best thing about today is that all seasonal psychosis is over and we can return to normal. It's a beautiful day in LA, 60ºF at 10 am, expected to go up to 80+. Now that's what I call a good new year.
Happy new year, Dive. At least we won't have to deal with that Millenium crap, the Nostradamus effect (huh?), that dumbass guy who set one date for the end of the world, then revised the date, which didn't work out either.
A couple miles from here is a little church which earlier this summer had "the world ends this Saturday at 7" painted on its side in crude black letters. It was taken over by a happier group, which has repainted the building and replaced the evil BS with blue and white signage. OK so its just happier BS, at least the black wishes are gone. You know, I'm a lazy b****h, and one day as I walked into work, I made a conscious decision to be happy. Just like it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown, I figure I'm being easier on my entire system by trying to be, well, at least pleasant. So it's like "the world is gonna end someday, tra la!" instead of The *&@#$ world is gonna *&$%@ end tomorrow and you're a c**t, too!"
Oh dear how sad... I am happy that a new day dawns and I am still here, it must be the age thing! I have had my 3 score years and ten so I am living on borrowed time!!
Enjoy life folks this is not a dress rehearsal you do not live twice!! this is it !!!!!be happy!
Vanda, you shouldn't tease an old man like that. It'll be many months here before the sun crawls high enough above the horizon to give us sixty degrees, dammit.
Happy New Year, Speedway! Boy howdy, I'd love to have been in that little church as the clock crept past seven on that Saturday evening. Watching their faces would have given me such a fit of the giggles.
Neetzy, I'm with you there. The sooner it ends the better.
Kate, me too.
Mum, you may well have passed your allotted time but remember: you only have a finite amount of exclamation points that you are allowed to used in one lifetime. Ration them carefully.

Have a great new year. Keep grooving.

Ok, I misspelled b***h by putting in an extra *. Sorry.
Wow. REM wrote that how many years ago? I think the end of the world as we know might not be a bad thing.
I'm with Neetzy.
