I play in a band that does a lot of out of town shows and being on
the
road from 12- 2:00 in the morning, after a show, gives you a lot of time
to talk.
I would say at least 80% of our conversations turn philosophical.
The end of the world seems to ba a favored subject among the group as of
late.
America is becoming involved in war with a number of other
countries.
North-Korea pulled out of the nuclear treaty. Sadam has been a bad monkey
and ect.
What are your thoughts on war and the end of the world?
How do you think it is going to end?
What would you do in the event that it did?
____________________ You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.
The world itself will never properly "end", as even tho we have enough
nuclear nasties between us all to thoroughly chicken fry it and everything
on it, we can't destroy it. Microbes and organisms deep in the soil will
continue to grow, and eventually when the ground cools, the fallout clears,
etc...life will go on.
Are we on the verge of royally screwing our shit up? Yup. Big time. This
whole "war" thing, the cloning of baby "eve" (as of yet a "debatable"
rumor, but the parents won't submit to DNA testing until they're
guaranteedt he child won't be taken away), rising global tensions between
old foes with older grudges, the similarities in the situation to several
prophetic predictions about an impending armagedon...well frankly it's got
me eyeballing my dad's gun collection and keeping an eye out for an
excavator to join his coming and going machinery collection (ie: I'm diggin
a fucking hole in my back yard and STAYING PUT). To me it reeks of
"goodbye cruel world", but then again I'm paranoid of someone blowing me
up.
It also has me searching even harder for that magic lamp so I can finally
get my wish for a day pass to walk up to every world leader, smack them on
the back of the head and tell them to quit pissing in the sandbox, shut up,
and go home before I tell their mommies on them.
All I ask is please...PLEASE just hold it off long enough for me to get old
and bitter so I can have my house at the end of the block, with the giant
dog that only eats nurf and fingers, the wall, and the apple tree that only
grows rockhard sour apples for me to throw at kids getting off the
schoolbus. And because bitter crazy old ladies don't give a shit about
nuclear war...usually.

Ahh...sweet apocalypse. I ponder the day our ancestors told us of. When
the whole of earth will seek vengeance, and draw forth human blood. When
the Earth it-self will shake with fury, and man's once loyal inventions
will turn on their masters. And all to start over yet again. Heh sorry
couldn't get that out of my head; reading to much Nostrodomus, Edward
Casey, and Inca "literature." The roaches always survive, humans are just
their mammalian versions.

Some mornings, the belief that the world is in for an imminent fiery and
cataclysmic demise is the only thing that keeps me going.
Roaches, Cher, and Ozzy Ozbourne will be the only creatures left alive (no
matter how hard you try, you just can't get rid of 'em!) and they all shall
live on twinkies.

So Cher and Ozzy Osbourne will be left to repopulate the world? That's an
extremely frightening thought...

God! Neither Cher nor Ozzie have produced what I consider presentable
offspring. I LIKE Ozzie, I ADORE Sharon Osbourne (she reminds me of my
favorite aunt!), but I fucking can't STAND those two spoiled brats!

Oh god can you just imagine if those two whiny spoiled brats are the only
two humans left on the earth with which to replenish the stock of
humankind. I can just imagine the inbreeding fiasco that would be.

i say that the end of human kind as we know it is probably going to be here
soon. but in my twisted little mind the first thought that formed when i
read this post was "the world is going to end in one huge orgie and as all
the cumm fills the earth everyone is going to get stuck as the cumm
hardens. and all the women are going to be frozen into their orgasim stage
and as i walk through the door i'm going to yell 'fuck all of you i'm going
to mars' and walk out with my finger in the air"
but thruthfully i believe the end of the world is going to end in a battle
of fire and ice. as the land burns to smothered ashes, the oceans are going
to freeze over and cover this world in a cold ass sickened darkness. and
nothing is ever going to live again

When the end comes, I shall learn how to live under the sea, subsisting on
local flora and fauna, and water-proof twinkies.

I have to start off by saying that life is also war, many fail to realize
that.
- A war with Iraq now will do good for the safety of many nations, for our
economy and for oil productions globally. In human tolls, it will be
catastrophic, like any and all wars.
We've been murdering this world by just living here.
When the end comes, I’ll be happy doing nothing,...just watching a sunset
or knocking back a fine brew.
so cher and ozzie are going to impregnated the cockroaches? or the other
way around?
either is rather icky

The true end of the world shall remain unlikely four eternity in prime.
However, let it be known that an apocalypse shall commence. Look for the
rainbow that surrounds the sun, there you will find your doom, but your
suffering shall be given by Divine Wyoming for ten thousand years in prime.
The horror will be grand, and for your sins...
Ah hell the sun isn't gonna explode in our lifetime. It will eventually,
and by then we'll either be long gone (dead or found somewhere else to
ruin), It's speculated that we won't be incinerated by it, but that the
force of the supernova will propell our planet out of the solar system and
fling it into space. Which sucks.
Dear hell I HOPE that ozzy won't impregnate anything else...perhaps both he
and cher will be rendered sterile *crossesfingers*
Should Cher and Ozzy breed, the resultant race will be super tall half
plastic ex drunken/drug addicted limey snots I"m imagining.
But should ozzy turn his affections on hapless cockroaches *shudder*
As for sharon, I adore sharon osbourne...that woman has some serious
cajones. I do like ozzy too, but in a sort of wanna pat him on the head
and drink a beer with him sort of way. Sharon is AMAZING....I listened to
her on the howard stern show when slipknot was on *shudder* and they
thought they were so big and bad until sharon let them have it in that curt
"you have no idea what you're up against" wicked mother way. *lol* she's
rad.

On the last trip home from a gig, me and the guys in the band noticed a
bright light in the sky following us home. I turned to james(our bass
player)who was asking me if I ever watch out the window waiting to see
something weird and I was joking around pointing at a light that I thought
was on a post or an aircraft or something. I turned to look at it again and
it was in the same place in relation to the car that it had been for the
last 15 miles. later I had found out that venus glows brightly an hour to
two before sunrise on that week. Venus is suppoesd to come back soon with
mars above and to the left of it, Mars will be even brighter.
and if we make it past 2011 than the sun will reverse it's polarity and the
humans on earth will no longer be able to procreate.

There's a disagreement over whether the sun's polarity reversal will take
place in 2011 or 2012, because the mayan calendar ends in 2012. There's
also a disagreement whether it will be the usual type of reversal or the
extreme kind that might have happened over 700,000 years ago. Are ya sure
there won't be procreation still going on? I mean it could be a simple
mutation increase. Mutations might be pretty cool.

Well, we already got a kickass talking giant squid... What more do we need?
But seriously, mutations would -not- be cool. Mutations are the reason we
have cancer. We'd be neutered AND in the hospital. Of course, some
mutations are good, its how we humans got such an abnormally large head.
But still...
Oh, and I don't think that -everyone- will be neutered. Just us guys.
Thanks to the gazillion-rpm sperm-making engine guys have, their
reproductive cells will be suceptible, while the female's eggs don't change
much after birth and would be safe.
And how do you figure a change in the sun's polarity will affect DNA? I
mean, the wave is just reversed. It shouldn't have that much of an
effect...

Umm... after much online research, (god bless the internet...)
I've found that the sun flips its magnetic polarity every eleven years.
So...
Or were you thinking of something else?

Actually I was referring to the "regular" polarity shift as the every 11
year shifting that it does. Though some people refer to the 11 year cycle
as only have the cycle, because the cycle goes one way each 11 years, so to
come full circle back to where it started would be 22 years. Of course
though which was the "start" in the first place, so 11 instead of 22 is
what I usually hear it referred to.
The whole thing with what I was saying about it being 2011 or 2012 was
regarding some things I've read regarding some people stating that since
the Mayan calendar ends in 2012...meaning that's the very last year on the
whole calendar altogether...that it might have some significance as to the
end of the world itself.
Zander's comment on making it past 2011 and the procreation issue got me to
thinking and doing a little more research than usual. That's where I found
some references to the polarity shift coinciding somewhat with the Mayan
calendar issue. There was also some things I read regarding a major
polarity shift that also affected the earth's polarity in a major way a
little over 700,000 years ago, and that there is no obvious evidence that
it should do more than possibly have some mutations, and affect migratory
patterns of animals. However, there's no way to tell.
I know there was some real questions raised about the effects of the sun's
polarity affecting the earth starting back in 1994. Or rather there were
some studies that got seriously going around that time. So now I've got a
new subject to obsess over in my nightly travels through the internet.
