Daily Mood Quote
Day 17 – May 21, 2011
“Middle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you”
~Ogden Nash
Saturday's are now the days of housework, laundry, grocery shopping and meal planning for next week. So come Saturday night, rest is all I'm looking for, along with a good movie.
I have heard on the news, read on the internet and saw in papers that today, May 21, 2011 was the day "the end of the world is to begin. I wonder, should I plan my meals for next week? I truly wasn't going to touch this subject, but the movie menu on television last night was crying out for comment. Armageddon, The Seven Signs of Apocalypse, Apocalypse Now, and 2012 were the movies of choice. Needless to say, I went to bed early. Not that these movies aren’t entertaining and some of them are quite well done, in fact we own two of them. The point is that ready or not, another prediction of the end of things will (most likely) come to naught or not. Why do we listen to these folks? Let's face it they are only looking for their 15 minutes of fame, even if they know and we know their compass is off a few degrees. I wonder though who will call tonight, and will it be at 6pm?
Me, maybe I'll play the lottery tonight... With my luck, I'll win and the world will end. I will try not to panic today, but as Jackson Curtis played by John Cusack said in the movie 2012, “When they tell you not to panic... that's when you run!” If the world ends as predicted, this might be my last blog, but....tune in tomorrow anyway. The Mayans and their calendar just might be the ones who are right! We'll see come December 21, 2012...
How do you feel about the end of the world?
