Paranoia, thy name is 2012...

Hello.

As I sit here, eating almonds and trying to pretend I don't have to walk all the way across campus in an hour, only to do it again in another hour, then go to the gym, I realize that I haven't posted anything here in forever. I can only attribute this to not wanting to do anything over the break and writers block. Maybe there just hasn't been anything particularly inspiring.

Now I'm back in classes, trying to decompress and get back into the swing of having actual responsibilities like cooking and cleaning. I still haven't cleaned my half of the room which is leading my roommate on her way to a nervous break down. Not sure why, it doesn't touch her half. Cooking is okay, I generally just eat whatever my friend Ehrin makes and then offer to do the dishes. We think it's a pretty sweet deal.

New Years has come and gone and we have now entered into what possibly could be our last year on this earth. Personally, I can't understand why we're taking advice from a people that full on vanished off the face of the earth, but that hasn't stopped a decent chunk of the population from doing so. This bothers me. Probably because, just in my lifetime (which is only nineteen years), this is the fourth or fifth time the world is supposed to end. I don't see how people can still care. It's like being told you'll get a free car if you show up alone in the middle of a desolate field only to find out you've been had and the person has stolen the majority of your possessions. And then showing up again the next time someone tells you the same lie.

It's madness.

Is some completely random act of god going to come down on us? Or have scientists just been sitting on their asses the last ten or so years and not doing their jobs of noticing world wide catastrophe that will strike in the year 2012? It bothers me that something like this can still whip the population into such a frenzy, especially since this is not the first time such a prediction has been made. Come on, Humanity, you're better than this.

Or maybe you're not. I don't know anymore.

On the whole, most people probably know this is crap, but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of people do. Oh well, my Criminal Justice teacher always said something that I think will be applicable for the rest of my life:

You can't fix stupid.

And with that, I will leave you. I hope that the year is filled with fulfilled New Years resolutions and joy and smiles and rainbows and kittens.

And I hope that we can look forward to a year that can end Armageddon free.
