Makes me think... What would be the last thing i'd wonna do when I know the end is near, because it COULD happen, right? It sounds as a clichÃ©, I know, but I would spend the last days with the people I love and do the things I always wanted to do, but couldn't find the time for it or just wasn't important enough. Bungee jumping for instance YEAH...nice I visited an interesting website on the matter, here's the link: End of the world? Normally I find this 2012 stuff a load of crap, but this website is kinda interesting...It's pretty realistic, for example, they tell you which preparations you could make to be on the safe side. Like Inward preparation of consciousness, the importance of food storage,... They call it "the 2012 Survival Basics" I'm really interested how other people think of the matter and what they would do these last days... rOZZ Music Pictures ID: 977091 ·

We'd probably want to huddle around her father's grave so that the family could be complete one last time. ID: 977113 ·

So, I'll be hanging around after this so called Rapture. I lieu of that I'll watch your pets after you are gone for a payment made now. And while you're at it can you sign your home and vehicle over to me on the specified date in 2012. As a twist could I also have the Power of Attorney for you so that I can act on your behalf when you are gone. I wouldnt want other non Believers getting their mitts on (y)our stuff In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope ID: 977150 ·

A month or so before 'the event' I'll be selling, at obscene, astronomical profits, all the survivalist supplies that I will be amassing between now and then. The day after the event, I plan to retire to a life of wealth and luxury. Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. Albert Einstein ID: 977155 ·
