A MOMENTARY GLIMPSE OF NOW

06/05/2011

 As I sit here sipping my coffee, Judgement day is only just around the corner.

 Apparently it's going to happen on the 21st. That's a Saturday, so i'll probably be up early enough to catch it as I work every single Saturday. This is quite good, because Judgement day is a pretty big thing, and i'd not want to sleep through it and miss it.

After Judgement day (which by the way, came for one Osama Bin Laden only a few days ago on the second) there's the End of the world on October the 21st. That's probably going to be hard to miss, working or not. That's on a Friday.

I thought i'd jump to NOW with this blog post. Of course, it will only be NOW for a few hours, before falling into history, so for those of you who do not hang on my every post..I apologise that the now for you is actually a then.

With a child on the way, I have to worry about the kind of world he's going to grow up in. Mine was, on the whole, not that bad as a child. 1970 to 1990 could have been far far worse than they were if I am being honest, and using the last few years as a comparison, they could have actually been a complete nightmare.
 I have consiparcy theories running around in my head almost all the time these days, what with bombings, invasions, illegal wars, natural disatsers, hunts for supposed terrorists in places we know they aren't hiding, bombings on buses, hijackings, missing bits of space on Google sky and so on and so forth....it's quite a worry.

And if the bloody Mayan's had just bothered to carry their calender on for a few more centuries, I would have missed all this commotion. Damn those pesky Mayan calender makers and their 'work to rule' attitude.


I have no idea why Bin Laden was killed now, I am not even sure if he was given all the palava surrounding the event, but it worries me that it may be the lead up to more disinformation and confusion. Possibly not the end of the world, or Judgement day even..but I can't help feeling like there are black clouds on the Horizon.

I am 40 years old, I have been off the cigarettes for over two weeks now, I have a job that pays the bills, a wonderful wife, a loyal dog and a Son on the way. It'll be a cold day in Hell before any Judging gets done, any end of the world gets started or any of that Malarky...I didn't come this far up the river of life to find myself lying on the rocks like an exhausted Salmon..no siree! The Mayan's the Al Qaeda, the Cia, Fbi and MI5 can all just take a long walk off a short pier with the Illuminati and all the religious nutjobs..because it ain't happening.

I have lots more to do before I shuffle off of this mortal coil...and it's going to get done!

The serious note here is that as 'little people' square pegs or round ones, we need to wake up and smell the coffee a bit more. We need to quit listening to bullshit stories about terrorism, cataclysm and all those other nasty ism's that are out there. We need to think more for ourselves, make our own decisions and peer through all the lies in order to keep a grip on reality and a smile on our faces.

It's a good world...it has the potential to be a great one if we can all take it back from the few who are spoiling it for everyone else.

Ok..I'm done, back to the normal flow of Half Dead and Dancing.
