Notice: If any loved ones, neighbours, or the man who lives on the corner of your street has any fears about the upcoming year of 2012, walk over to them, engage in conversation, then slap them. They are idiots.
The Mayans did not believe in an apocalypse. The Mayans did nothing to predict the end of the world. The only basis anyone has is that their calendar, which is remarkably well done, ends on 21 December, 2012. Now, what makes 12 December, 2012 so special then?
The Mayan calendar is made up of 13 Baktun, each consisting of 20 Katun. The Mayan calendar does not actually begin with 0, it begins at the end of the first 13 Baktun. To the Mayans, the number 13 was a sacred and lucky number. Why their calendar begins with 13 Baktun having been completed is anyone's guess. Moving on, the Mayans believed in cyclicality. In other words, they believed nothing ends, it just starts anew and continues. Arguably, the Mayan calendar, being circular (also part of the cyclicality), will repeat itself again. Technically, the time when the planets align and the last portion of the 12th Baktun is complete, this would be a very lucky and glorious time.
The end of the Mayan calendar is the only "proof" of an oncoming end. It does very little to prove itself as well. That being said, when the time comes, have a good solstice and enjoy yourself, the Mayans would be too.
Granted, if anything does happen, I hope that either the Mayans return to power or that their ghosts come back and haunt their cities. The end.

Take me back to another time; take me back to Summertime. Let me bask in its warm glow. Let me hear the songs that remind of it me so. Remember me the stories of all the Summers past. Go back as far as I can remember to standing on that street, on the manhole lid. Remember me the laughter we shared within that car. The nights together with lovers, the days driving across countries and state lines. Remember me the children who used to play; remember that completely orange day? Remember me a new lover that I found; remember the happiness thereof abound? Take me back to Summer whilst listening to this song. It reminds me of all the memories from my youth up to now. The best friends, the music, the laugher, the love. The sorrow, the hate, the heat, the dark. The sunshine, the life, the roads, the joy. There are too few negatives for this of which I remember now. When we get older and as our lives go by, don't forget all those times. Remember me, lover; remember me, friend; remember me, Summer gods; remember me when.
Another season gone with the oncoming of Fall, a blessed time of year for my heart and soul. But when Summer returns as the cycle goes over again, remember our smiles and remember our whens.

The Luckiest - Ben Folds
I dont get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if Id been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe Id be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door theres an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
Im sorry, I know thats a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
there's no life outside high school. this song makes me feel kinda sadish inside, but happy too. sad because it was a song i attributed to being with Jess, happy because i can attribute it to Clarissa now. two months... woo hoo... :-D yeah. go team! i learned how to play "The Sacrament" by HIM and "Annie's Song" by John Denver on guitar tonight. armed with Thunder, i = happy. so life. J-man must get a job, so that it shmost meffininately a priority. so, that road trip won't be happening. on the other hand, both Ifer and my rents don't (yet) seem to have a problem with us going on a trip. so we may take a round Lake Michigan and Supirior trip later in the summer. i still need to visit people in MN, so we'll se what happens. since i ain't going on my trip, i'll probably see if i can get an actual job at Shakespeare. but, i don't wanna leave Clare alone. well, she does have Amy, so i won't feel too bad. heh. Clare and i are so much alike it's crazy. we think a lot of the same things, like the same things and so on. soul mates? if you hook up with your soul mate, is that wrong? heh. well, her mom doesn't know she only has ONE final which is on monday, so i'm getting her at 7:30 tomorrow and going to breakfast then am cooking her lunch. graduation rehersal was today... i'm one of the last 5 people (on the right side) to graduate. fuck yeah! damn that's a lot of fucking sitting and waiting. but, i get to walk two girls out. big pimpin' Tehjad! graduation is on sunday. wow. it's almost all over. the good times, the bad times, the many many tears, the plethora(sp?) or laughs. NT... suck my shlong! High School, thank you. James and Jennifer, thank you for being there. you huys are my best friends, and i hope we can still be even later as we go through college and life. Clarissa, you're amazing. you're me... but with the actual female anatomy to go with it... but you also have your parts that make you so great to be around. thank you for helping me and now being there next to me. Jessie, thank you for the last three years. you saved my life multiple times. we went through so much shit together, but we still pulled through. thank you for standing beside me for so long. i hope that your life gets better with age... just like a good wine... to all my other friends from frosh year: Eric, Drew, Christina, Tat, Sarah, Katie, Bobby, Nina, Ru, Jason, Zan, Ben and all the other people i'm too lazy to put down, thank you for being my friends and giving my the social life i never thought i could have. Y'all also gave me my favoret year of high school. to all my sophmores: Charlotte, Shannon, Suli, Alex, Ito, Lydia, y'all rock! do crew and keep being who y'are. and thank you for helping me through hard times as well... and screwing with me... :-D to all my juniors, fellow techies, and other friends, thank you for making high school so great. it's been quite a ride, and now it's over. well, i found the fork in the road. one end of which is a damn cul-de-sac, the other is the future. Beloit, grad school, PhD, teaching history, teching plays, making music, and being a dad. oh Future, such a strange friend art thou. ever changing so, ne'er leting me know the Now. such a gift is the time which has now gone to past, therefore, dear Future, letest us make nei a time that shalt truely surpass. so fucking long NT, goodbye high school, adios friends, sayanora Winnetka. hullo Beloit, hey future, meep wombat! heh. i'm done. Chicken with Shallots: "This is a wonderfully simple and homely recipe," and looking at it in retrospect, all those hard decisions, weren't all that bad sometimes. well, Chicken with Shallots is lunch... and left overs. adios and g'night.

You're Beautiful - James Blunt |

i'm writing a song about the two deaths of two girls belonging to the New Trier class of 2006. in doing so, i am asking for information about the two girls in general, not about how they died. their names will not be directly in the song. i just want to know a little more about them because i think it could help me in writing the song. here's what i have so far:
In Memory (High School Class ‘06)
People are just mortal. The things that have to bring us down to earth hurt. There’s a stage in our lives where it is so strange. We’re either thinking we’re immortal, or we’re on the suicide obituary page. Every so often it’s reinforced, that good things can happen to the bad while to the good, something worse. Now over the last two years, we’ve left two more lives behind.
Ref: The announcer call over the PA, that their life was gone. The cries went up from the students, a friend of theirs was gone. There’s something about high school, when there’s so much there. We’ll pray for the families, even if we’re not religious; another death to which we care.
thank you for your help.

 | You scored as Romanticist. Romanticism encourages society to look backwards to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society. You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.
