I won't give up my job but I will be excited if something actually happens.
2nd line

there are always dates and times where things are meant to happen and they never do. surely this would say to people that its again another date, which will mean nothing. i know this 2012 date has a bit of weight behind it because of the mayans, but all it meant was an end of an age. not another planet thats going to ccollide with the earth or whatever. the only people who benefit out of these dates are people who are selling their survival guides. i would hate to think that people have quit there jobs or quit there education thinking its all real. they are going to have a nasty hangover when they wake up and life carried on. this will be the only mass thing that happens on that date, a load of people who realised they wasted 5 years of their life!!!

you ask what IF something happens? i just very much doubt anything will. we are too much owned by the capitalistic world in which we live for anything that "may" happen to have any effect on us at all.

There are very few people that are falling of the hoax called 2012. It may seem like a lot, but that is due to what is known as sampling bias. The people that know about 2012 tend to congregate with other people. That's like skateboarders thinking that everyone is interesting in skateboarding. You can substitute sports fans, book readers, yoga practitioners, smokers, dancers, etc. for skateboard in the previous sentence.

The general public knows little about this and they care very little. Maybe there is a momentary interest while watching some two bit fake documentary on the television. Then it's back to some other show and the 2012 hoax is forgotten.

Im not planning for anything. Death comes to us all. Just depends on where and when. If Ones time comes, and It is my time to meet the creator or move on. Then so be it. Who am I to argue with evolution.

I'll be doing the same thing I did the previous week as the 2012 date predicted is a miscalculation.
Whatever event that is expected to happen the Mayans calculated to take place in the last quarter of the 2011 year. So we have about a year from now.

I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket for anything physical to change. I'm leaning more towards the spiritual aspect. However, I'll be prepared either way because what if I quit a career I love, charge up my credit cards and make large purchases to 'live large' in my last physical days only to find the event was something that took place on a higher level of consciousness? Then I would have created a huge mess I'd need to get out of thereby creating a lot of unnecessary struggles.

But . . . to each his own.

If it comes, it comes. I will not have graduated high school so there is not much decision for me. I would rather live on and experience life but if it comes, it comes.
