End of Days....2012

I remember waiting for the world to end in Y2K. Midnight hit and everything was the same. The first thing I did when I got back to my apartment that night was turn on my computer and it worked just fine. I really feel for those sushi restaurants that named themselves after such an uneventful moment. Sushi Y2K.....oh yeah, nothing happened. Planes did not fall out of the sky and every computer in the world didn't fail. Some of the worst things that happened was 150 slot machines stopped working at the racetracks in Delaware and the U.S. Naval Observatory, which runs the master clock that keeps the USA's official time, gave the date on its website as Jan. 1, 19100. 

But now 2012 is here. This is going to be it for sure! There are so many theories floating around out there that this is going to be our last year.
Here is a link to a great video from a guy at Nasa that explains many of the false theories:

(On a side note. If you want your brain to explode and have an hour to spare, there is another theory about 2012 out there. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2395498051948678069  Terence McKenna - Alien DreamTime I cannot even try to explain what he is saying or trying to describe.You have to be pretty openminded to understand or to even watch this video.)


Let's pretend that December 21, 2012 is going to be the end of the world. Or even better, let's pretend that 2012 is going to be a great year of transformation for humanity. What do I want to accomplish in my last days? What do I want to do to make the next 12 months stand out in my timeline?

I have made a list.
I want:
- to do a backbend, a handstand and a headstand. Need a healthy spine.
- to read at least 12 books. More would be better but let's start with 12.
- to travel to Europe with my wonderful husband, Craig.
- to participate in the Easter Seals Drop Zone in September. I will have to raise at least $1500 to do this, so be prepared to be asked for sponsorship.
- to improve my cardio health.
- to have a Mysore practice of at least 3 times a week.
- to spend more time with my family.
- to complete at least one of my home reno projects.
- to lose another 20 pounds.

I am sure that throughout this year this list will change and grow.  But this is what I have so far.
It is going to be a great year!
"Do it! Do it now!"

Happy New Year!!!!

Heh. My MIL was so taken by Y2K that all her jams and pickles and other canned foods that she prepared that year were marked Y2K. Sometimes I still come across an old jar and it makes me smile.
