2011 Rapture

So the "day" of judgement has passed. It took five months, but the "day" has finally passed. Well actually, the "day" ended yesterday. I just completely forgot about it, since, you know, a five month day and all.

So it turns out that all of the hysterical hype about the rapture back in May was for nothing. But then most of the people banging on about were probably like me and didn't realise that the day would in fact last five months instead of the usual 24 hours, as, you know, makes total sense. So it's little wonder that the zombie apocalypse didn't take place when everyone expected.

Apparently, pranksters should've left their clothes lying on the street yesterday instead.

And now we should probably be on the lookout for zombies now that the "day" of the judgement has passed we should probably be on the lookout for hordes of maruading zombies. Unless of course this apocalypse isn't the zombie producing apocalypse.

Still, anyone who went missing in the last five months could be said to have been raptured. They proved themselves holy and pure and all that shiz. I can't say that I'm surprised by the lack of raptured people. We're all a pretty sinful lot ... not that it's hard to sin by the standards God has set out for us if Dante's Inferno is anything to go by.

Now we sit back and wait and see if the last five months was in fact the "day" of judgement and the apocalypse is now nigh or if it's been like many of the other raptures of the past.

2011

Well, as you're probably aware, it's now 2011.

Big surprise, huh.

Maybe time for reflections about the past year, and what I want from this new year?

So, what did I learn last year?

Well, apart from the obvious; finding a job that I really want to do is damn near impossible. So naturally, discovering that I don't like being a door to door sales person all that much didn't come as a surprise ... but at least it's giving me skills that I may need when I finally get into journalism ... not to mention some of the (fictional) stories I might be able to get from some of the nutters I deal with.

I also remembered that going to Ocean Grove for Christams is a really stupid idea. I don't know why I keep forgetting this little fact. Maybe because no one can possibly believe just how bad tourists can get.

And I wasn't even driving a car, which is when you see some classic tourist stupidity.

Not that there was a shortage of that; shopping in Geelong Nat Geo had someone walking around Baycity with someone dressed up as a platypus (still don't know why though). But some lady walking past the table I was sitting at said to her child "Look at the duck."

I mean the Nat Geo platypus did look self concious, but he was still clearly a playtpus! Stupid woman. Stupid touros.

And now I'm ranting ...

So going to change the subject back to my 2011 refelctions;

Well I guess what I want from this year is obvious; a much, much better job than the one I currently have. Preferably one in journalism ... but anything with writing is pretty good for me.

I'd also like to say that I will avoid Ocean Grove during the height of tourist season. But since mum lives down there, I know that this won't be the case.
