As I wait for Hurricane Sandy to come eat me alive, I can’t help but think of all the recent natural disasters of the past decade. I also can’t help but think of a Llama dry humping a canoe while wearing a top hat, but that is just because I have eaten too much sugar today and in kind of in a weird mood. Although it may seem obvious to me that there is a direct correlation between human impact and the disastrous effects on Mother Nature, there are many who still don’t buy into the idea. Maybe it in a issue of branding? Like rather than “global warming” it should be called “global erratic weather patterns mixed with some crazy-ass earthquakes, cyclones, and fires all in a short period of time” and more people would agree.
When I was a kid I don’t remember any natural disasters killing hundreds and thousands of people. I remember it snowed sometimes. But if you are a 12 year old kid imagine all the extreme natural disasters that would have happened in your life time! Yeah people can argue that weather comes in patterns, but the fact that in such a short period there have been so many recored breaking events has to mean something. And I think that something means the end of the world is coming.
Sigh…
I really hope not… and I definitely hope the Mayans weren’t right because then the apocalypse is only 2 months away. I don’t want my child to die at two! That would suck! She would never experience so many of the joys of life, like drinking wine with friends and making fun of boys you kissed. I don’t want my Munchee to die on December 21st… Not to mention the fact that I have some pretty fun plans for New Years.
Below are some examples of the end of times catastrophes that I could remember off the top of my head. I am sure there are a lot more…. but do your own research because I am not a librarian.
Earthquake in Canada triggering Tsunami in Hawaii (ummmm yeah…. this just happened too?!)
There is a cock and balls coming to get me 🙁
