I was going to write about this video game I was playing and how it played to our lives. But I fell asleep thinking about that topic, so I decided to talk about the futureeeeee. The time we're in right now is one of turmoil. Gas prices, the environment, the Middle East, Europe, all of those things are nearing a point in time where their problems will be too great to repair. But we don't know when that is. Or what it's going to look like.
Do you remember that whole Rapture thing? When some pastor said that the Rapture, when good people ascend to heaven, would happen at a certain date at 6pm, people had mixed reactions. Most dismissed him as crazy, ignored him, or made fun of him. But a significant amount of people sold their possessions and toured the country proclaiming the date of the Rapture. All of their possessions. I was in the group of people who happened to respectfully disagree with the pastor's claims. But when 5:59 rolled around, I got slightly nervous.
Why? I was confident nothing was going to happen. But the point was that I didn't know. However sure I was, I just couldn't know. Just like all that shit that America and the world at large has to deal with. We just don't know what's going to happen. Weird thought. End of the world in 2012 is bullshit. But who the hell knows? We just can't know. It's hard to think about.
Alright, that's all. I'm going to go do something else now.
