Happy End of the World! · 5:17am Dec 22nd, 2012
And so the world ended! Because the Mayans, the super advanced civilization of ancient times, sucessfully predicted that the earth would align with the galactic center, causing the magnetic poles to flip as the sun flared in indescribable power and volcanoes erupted, exactly as the Mayans predicted! Because Aliens!
Or not.
Because the Mayan calender is really just that, a calender. One that gets really big. The world doesn't end when you turn the page for the next month on your calender, it doesn't end when December 31st rolls around, and it doesn't end when the Chinese New Years comes around either. The Mayans themselves ascribed nothing to the calender.
Yes, they think the world is destroyed and reborn. Yes, they think the *last* cycle lasted 13 round Baktuns (that's probably mispelled btw) which ours just hit, but they didn't think *all* cycles lasted that long.
Education. It's a good thing.
Oh, and btw?

IS AZTEC. NOT MAYAN. GET IT FUCKIN RIGHT.
Partying like its the end o the world baby!
So yah. The world didn't end.
Although I did wake up to an unusual morning.
Red sky, rain without clouds, and the most massive rainbow close to our house I noticed as I walked to school for the final day of Finals.
I laughed.
"Sorry, we made a mistake, it's on Sunday."
