Is This The End Or What?

Well May 21, 2011 came and went without the much anticipated end of time as predicted by the old guy on the West Coast. He had taken out thousands of dollars of advertisements warning the world that the end was emminent, something I don't disagree with. Sandy and I had been invited to a wedding and I declined because this wasn't the last thing on earth that I wanted to participate in.Either she didn't think the world was ending, or maybe that was what she wanted to go out with. Either way Sandy went on to the wedding and I ate Lee's Famous Recipe carryout and watched Nascar's fiasco from Charlotte. It was almost like a condemned mans last meal . The appointed time came and went and we're still here this morning, at least I think I am.As I went to get the papers it struck me that the world has become so shallow and self absorbed that maybe the end of time has already come and maybe the world we know and live in is really what's left. I honestly can't think of many people worthy of moving on. I think maybe the Navy Seals would qualify for sending old Bin Laden where he belongs. I still am amazed at Bin's so called mansion in Pakistan. It looked like an abandoned crack house in Detroit. They said he had spent millions of dollars building that thing. I feel they should have had better housekeeping, and did you see that black and white tv he watched himself on? It's like you gave chimpanzees lots of money and turned them loose. The US rejoices in the departure of the worse human since Adolf Hitler. May they be roommates in Hell. We still have next years Mayan prediction of the end of time in December of 2012. Do we not have better problems than predicting our doom?How in the hell can these experts read these stone carvings and decide that since they show nothing after that day the end comes? Why do we believe this is the end? Maybe the stone carver just got fed up and took a better job. We've all done that. Maybe he was the last carver and they had no replacement. Thousands of years later we Twitter that the end is coming because a neolithic jungle dweller gets bored and quits. Joe Biden would probably sleep through the end of time. Speaking of sleeping ,we went to vote in the primary elections, and I nearly didn't vote for the first time since I was Eighteen. Is this the best the State of Kentucky has to offer?? And the national elections? Newt Gingrich?? Rand Paul?? Where's Ross Perot when we need him? Maybe the end of time looks better all the time. In hindsight I probably should have given more thought to my last acts on earth last night. I actually did call my family to tell them goodby, you know ,just in case. They were in Fayette Mall shopping, something they probably would have chosen as their last act anyway.Today is May 22,2011, and I for one am happy to still be here. It's warm and winter is finally over. Grass is pretty and green . Maybe a good last thing to be doing would be to be cutting grass listening to Fergie at ear melting volume. We need to straighten this mess out that we've created in the last few years. We owe that to the people who made this country the greatest in history, And we need to say that in English
