Someone told me that i will die in 5 years...
Well a bunch of people actually, all on tv and all on this one show. I love the discovery channel so much but unfortunately i do not own cable, so whenever i am in the northeast at my best friend chris' house we watch hours of it on end. This is where the prophecy of my demise was layed out for me, and actually everyone else that inhabits the same earth as I.
Let may lay this all out for you so you can all feel the same way as i do about 2012. So as many of you may all know the ancient Mayans were a very intelligent people. They did all sorts of great stuff, one of which was their calendar. The Mayan calendar has predicted all sorts of stuff that blows you away, including the lunar phases down to the day and even solar eclipses all of which were predicted TO THE DAY. So great, the Mayans created a calendar, whoopdeedo, im all set with the calendar i have it tells me when my birthday is, christmas and all the other great days in which i receive presents. Well the Mayan calendar trumps ours in one way, it has an end. The last day of the Mayan calendar is on December 21st 2012. What happens on said day? Why the abrupt end? Well my friends on this day our planet and all the other ones that reolve around our beautiful sun cross what is known as the universal equator and we actually have no clue what will happen once we cross said line. There are many theories as to what will happen when we cross this line and the most prominent one is a polar shift, this is what happens when our planet goes all caddywhompus and Philadelphia suddenly becomes beach front property where the sunny carribean used to be or hell we could even end up where Antarctica used to be (personally im hoping for some sunny real estate myself). But when this happens there will be no hiding, earthquakes and tsunamis out the whazoo, mass extinction of plants and animals and a whole array of other fantastic stuff.
So the Mayans predicted the end of our fantastic world, they are just an ancient people who probably had a hunch. Well they werent the only ones to predict the end. Ancient oracles from the earliest of recorded time have also predicted our demise, theyve even predicted things like both world wars, the rise and fall of ancient Rome, emperor Constantine BY NAME!, and the settlement of America in Virginia in the 1600s all hundred of years before any of this malarchy actually happened. But what most freaked me out was the I Ching's prophecy of the end of times.
The I Ching for those of you who dont know about it is an ancient chinese fortune telling book that was created around the time the pyramids were built, hundreds of years before Jesus was born and the Roman calendar. It involves 3 coins being thrown 6 times. After you throw the coins there is a majority of either heads or tails and then on a piece of paper you draw a complete line or a broken line as shown below:
After you have your drawing all set you open the book and find the corresponding drawing which predicts your fortune accordingly. Well recently there was a guy whose name i just cant seem to find again, he mapped out the I Ching in periods of 64 cycles of 64 periods in time beginning with the invention of I Ching a long time ago. If you plot them on a graph it shows the ups and downs of a whole timeline ona much larger scale than an individuals fortune. Its shows the fall of the Roman empire, and all the aformentioned things above. But it also has an end, just like the Mayan calendar, actually exactly like the Mayan calendar it ends on the same day December 21st 2012. Creepy huh? it definitely made my hair stand on end.
All this makes you think, many people who would never even see the day have prophecised the end of times or at least some major fucked up shit in December of 2012. Its definitely made me think, should i not care anymore about all this fucked up crap in my life, should i live life like 5 years from now it could be the end? In december of 2012 should i not buy Christmas presents? Who knows, i personally am gonna just live day by day and begin to focus on those who actually matter to me in life like my family and my very close friends. I dont have time to sweat the small stuff and the assholes who just make my life a hassle all the time because 5 years from now it may not matter what happened today or tomorrow just how i made the time i had special to myself.

been a while
Since i actually wrote anything on here, i guess since i last wrote nothings changed for me. Work work work its the story of my life. I recently had my number at work entered into the one hour hall of fame, i guess this means they respect all the hard work i put into the company and all of the sleeping in ive sacrificed for almost a year straight now. Its wearing on me though, im not as quick as i used to feel and i sure dont feel like the job is getting any better. Hell im sitting back and watching as the industry im a part of dies. Its actually not much of a slow death either. Over the past year this career has drastically changed for the worst, where there used to be plenty of work, theres now small handfulls of what used to be. Last winter it used to be worth it for the common messenger to be out in the cold windy weather everyday because he knew at the end of the week his sacrifices would be rewarded in that nice fat paycheck. But like i said, things have changed. Now everyone sits around all day freezing to death fighting over jobs that there used to be plenty of even just last year and theres nothing we can do but sit back and watch. A few of the smarter couriers have taken note of this and are looking elsewhere for new work. You just cant earn a living anymore in this industry, i guess im one of the few who has it good for the time being. I get by week to week relying on all the city hall work i do and dispatching before i hit the streets but soon enough thatll change too. City hall will soon be paperless which means no one will be needed to take things from here to there anymore, messengers will be rendered totally useless for what makes up for about 50-60% of the work that is called into the companies on a regular basis and what makes up a big chunk of their paycheck too. But hey the times are changing, these changes will make someone elses life a little easier, theres always gott be some sort of give and take somewhere and the take part is coming from us. I love my job but i dont see it lasting for me much farther than another year or so unfortunately even though i love it here. Maybe its time for a change in myself, i feel it coming but im not sure how im going to act upon it, hopefully itll be for the better.
