Hey everybody! It's the end of the world! Pack up and sell all your worldly possessions, go crazy and eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die!....Hahahahahaha!
For us, the end of the world was heralded by our first real snowfall of the year, about an inch or two of dry, granular snow that packs surprisingly well. (tested by my younger brother and I this morning as we pelted each other and our friend's car with snowballs after an early morning seminary class)
I find it infinitely amusing when I hear what people plan to do at the end of the world, the top three are (3.) Call the President and ask if there is room on Spaceship 1 (2.) Lay in a lawn chair on the roof listening to music and watching as the expanding sun gets closer and closer (if you're Kai!) (1.) Laugh at everyone, because everyone seems to forget that when the Spaniards took over the Mayans they messed up all their calendars, so the end of the world was really a really long time ago!
On a more serious note, the end of the world and the recent shootings have encouraged some students at the local high-school to start rumors of a school shooting at lunch today. No one knows if the threats are real or if someone is taking advantage of the situation to have a laugh, but I know the school can't afford not to take this seriously.
Some of my friends are leaving school before lunch today and are having their exams rescheduled for another day. I personally doubt that anything will happen, but at the same time I pray that it doesn't...sigh.
This kind of thing just makes me mad; why are people so stupid?!?
why terror?
why the hype?
why do people act like it's the last day of their life?
don't they know?
don't they care?
don't they know that what they do just isn't fair?
life is to be cherished.
life is to be loved.
life is to leave a legacy to those we love.
not to scar, nor to take.
not to be a curse
on the lips of those whose hearts we break.
