World wide Apocalypse/Merry Christmas.

So! I have been talking to a little birdie and he has told me the end of the world may very well be upon us. Now, by the sounds of things, I am pretty sure everyone in the world has been talking to the same damn bird, because everyone seems to be up in arms about this damn apocalypse business. 

And fair enough too really. Impending doom is always a bit of a imposing factor on ones life, and tends to ruin a lot of peoples future plans. I, for one, was looking forward to going on a date with Mila Kunis and Yvonne Strahovski, but given the time period in which we supposedly have left, it sadly seems rather unlikely.

Christmas is just around the corner too (in case no ones noticed that either), and I can imagine many will be disappointed that they went to all that trouble of finding just the right pair of shoes, or the perfect sentimental piece of jewellery, or the right colour stuffed Elephant, only to have it melted into nothing but a smouldering pile of goo by a raging volcano erupting from where the Christmas tree had been.  

Actually thinking about it now, I probably should have taken all my saving out and spent it on survival gear for presents instead of.....Well I'm not going to say. End of world or no end of world, I'm not giving away what I've got whom!
Mind you, if it was an absolute fact that the world was going to come to its end, then I think I probably would just blow my savings on something cool and totally useless. Like....a talking mouse or something.

Anyway, I don't think people should be getting too down about all this Armageddon talk. The ol earth has survived a plentiful array of beatings and bashing, and she's always come out alright! ...Yes, the dominant  species of the time haven't, but still!
We had a good run didn't we? As a human race, we've seen and done some interesting things. Not all good admittedly, but not all bad either. Like, there have been copious amounts of terrible wars resulting in million upon millions of deaths. But on the other hand , there was Led Zeppelin. So you see, it kind of all works out.

Anyway, here's wishing you a Merry Christmas or a Happy survival day, or a fantastic end of the world.

Take care.
