The world didn't end?

The only problem with living like it's your last day on Earth is that 99.9% of the time, it won't happen, and you have to deal with the aftermath the following day. "I'm sorry Debbie, I didn't mean it when I said your introvert personality was the reason why I don't take you out on the weekend. No, no. That's nothing to do with the fact I took your sister to the club yesterday. Uh huh. Yes, well, we all said things we regretted yesterday and were probably not true. No! I didn't really sleep with your roommate and your sister. At least not at the same time... Hello? You still there?"

Since the world didn't end and doesn't seem to care for the obvious mistakes, the only to do is move on and learn. Of course, what the human race generally believes is that the past is past. We've no real need to learn from what has happened so many times already. What are the chances it'll happen again? And again? And even after that you got to admit the chances aren't like for it... Unfortunately, much like  Pirates of Caribbean, we keep trying to hold onto the chance it'll work. Only difference being is that Disney is exponentially more likely to succeed than say, trying for the fifth time to get a burrito to agree with you.

Well maybe I should just be grateful on this whole issue and start actively enjoying the world now. Speaking of setting sail, while a small fraction of the world was selling their houses and getting rid for the end on nigh, scientists have started plans on surfing on one of Saturn's moons, Titan. Wonder if we'll find any life this time around. Wonder if we'll even be paying attention to it, since it'll take over 15 years for it to occur. For all we know, the world will have ended by that point (not bloody likely). Suppose I should make the most of my limited time, break the old piggy bank, and invest in the new double touch-screen Acer Iconia.

After all, I'll only get the chance to blow my investments so many more times before the world actually DOES end. Might as well be on something cool like this.

  13. The world IS coming to an end - at least, a world that will support 7+ billion people !
    Between human toxification of the environment, climate change, and peak oil, we're in the final days of what i call the "Pre-Scarcity" age - the last generation (in the West) to know a time of plenty.
