I saw a very funny movie trailer on t.v. last night and thought it looks really funny. Check it out…

Haha! What are your thoughts?

Everyone know about that stupid theory that the world will end December 21st, 2012 right? The reason for this is because the Mayan (an ancient indian tribe whose calender is almost exact to events that happened)  Calender ends at December 21st, 2012. But what is the truth? You’re about to know!

MEXICO CITY (Oct. 11) — Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly “running out” on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it’s not the end of the world.

Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists. “I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff.”

It can only get worse for him. Next month Hollywood’s “2012″ opens in cinemas, featuring earthquakes, meteor showers and a tsunami dumping an aircraft carrier on the White House.

At Cornell University, Ann Martin, who runs the “Curious? Ask an Astronomer” Web site, says people are scared.

“It’s too bad that we’re getting e-mails from fourth-graders who are saying that they’re too young to die,” Martin said. “We had a mother of two young children who was afraid she wouldn’t live to see them grow up.”

Chile Pixtun, a Guatemalan, says the doomsday theories spring from Western, not Mayan ideas.

A significant time period for the Mayas does end on the date, and enthusiasts have found a series of astronomical alignments they say coincide in 2012, including one that happens roughly only once every 25,800 years.

But most archaeologists, astronomers and Maya say the only thing likely to hit Earth is a meteor shower of New Age philosophy, pop astronomy, Internet doomsday rumors and TV specials such as one on the History Channel which mixes “predictions” from Nostradamus and the Mayas and asks: “Is 2012 the year the cosmic clock finally winds down to zero days, zero hope?”

It may sound all too much like other doomsday scenarios of recent decades — the 1987 Harmonic Convergence, the Jupiter Effect or “Planet X.” But this one has some grains of archaeological basis.

One of them is Monument Six.

Found at an obscure ruin in southern Mexico during highway construction in the 1960s, the stone tablet almost didn’t survive; the site was largely paved over and parts of the tablet were looted.

It’s unique in that the remaining parts contain the equivalent of the date 2012. The inscription describes something that is supposed to occur in 2012 involving Bolon Yokte, a mysterious Mayan god associated with both war and creation.

However — shades of Indiana Jones — erosion and a crack in the stone make the end of the passage almost illegible

Archaeologist Guillermo Bernal of Mexico’s National Autonomous University interprets the last eroded glyphs as maybe saying, “He will descend from the sky.”

Spooky, perhaps, but Bernal notes there are other inscriptions at Mayan sites for dates far beyond 2012 — including one that roughly translates into the year 4772.

And anyway, Mayas in the drought-stricken Yucatan peninsula have bigger worries than 2012.

“If I went to some Mayan-speaking communities and asked people what is going to happen in 2012, they wouldn’t have any idea,” said Jose Huchim, a Yucatan Mayan archaeologist. “That the world is going to end? They wouldn’t believe you. We have real concerns these days, like rain.”

The Mayan civilization, which reached its height from 300 A.D. to 900 A.D., had a talent for astronomy

Its Long Count calendar begins in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012.

“It’s a special anniversary of creation,” said David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin. “The Maya never said the world is going to end, they never said anything bad would happen necessarily, they’re just recording this future anniversary on Monument Six.”

Bernal suggests that apocalypse is “a very Western, Christian” concept projected onto the Maya, perhaps because Western myths are “exhausted.”

If it were all mythology, perhaps it could be written off.

But some say the Maya knew another secret: the Earth’s axis wobbles, slightly changing the alignment of the stars every year. Once every 25,800 years, the sun lines up with the center of our Milky Way galaxy on a winter solstice, the sun’s lowest point in the horizon.

That will happen on Dec. 21, 2012, when the sun appears to rise in the same spot where the bright center of galaxy sets.

Another spooky coincidence?

“The question I would ask these guys is, so what?” says Phil Plait, an astronomer who runs the “Bad Astronomy” blog. He says the alignment doesn’t fall precisely in 2012, and distant stars exert no force that could harm Earth.

“They’re really super-duper trying to find anything astronomical they can to fit that date of 2012,” Plait said.

But author John Major Jenkins says his two-decade study of Mayan ruins indicate the Maya were aware of the alignment and attached great importance to it.

“If we want to honor and respect how the Maya think about this, then we would say that the Maya viewed 2012, as all cycle endings, as a time of transformation and renewal,” said Jenkins.

As the Internet gained popularity in the 1990s, so did word of the “fateful” date, and some began worrying about 2012 disasters the Mayas never dreamed of.

Author Lawrence Joseph says a peak in explosive storms on the surface of the sun could knock out North America’s power grid for years, triggering food shortages, water scarcity — a collapse of civilization. Solar peaks occur about every 11 years, but Joseph says there’s evidence the 2012 peak could be “a lulu.”

While pressing governments to install protection for power grids, Joseph counsels readers not to “use 2012 as an excuse to not live in a healthy, responsible fashion. I mean, don’t let the credit cards go up.”

Another History Channel program titled “Decoding the Past: Doomsday 2012: End of Days” says a galactic alignment or magnetic disturbances could somehow trigger a “pole shift.”

“The entire mantle of the earth would shift in a matter of days, perhaps hours, changing the position of the north and south poles, causing worldwide disaster,” a narrator proclaims. “Earthquakes would rock every continent, massive tsunamis would inundate coastal cities. It would be the ultimate planetary catastrophe.”

The idea apparently originates with a 19th century Frenchman, Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, a priest-turned-archaeologist who got it from his study of ancient Mayan and Aztec texts.

Scientists say that, at best, the poles might change location by one degree over a million years, with no sign that it would start in 2012.

While long discredited, Brasseur de Bourbourg proves one thing: Westerners have been trying for more than a century to pin doomsday scenarios on the Maya. And while fascinated by ancient lore, advocates seldom examine more recent experiences with apocalypse predictions.

“No one who’s writing in now seems to remember that the last time we thought the world was going to end, it didn’t,” says Martin, the astronomy webmaster. “There doesn’t seem to be a lot of memory that things were fine the last time around.”

Ha ha. I think this is one of the biggest blunders in history! It is probably the biggest epic fail in history!

There is a lesson to learn from this though. Stay positive. Even though stupid people making predictions like this, stay positive!

Wow I haven’t realized how long it has been since a post! I am very sorry! Well I guess I’ll tell you how my school year is going!

Like normal it’s boring,  but this year there is tons of drama and stuff which is pretty funny since it is usually the girls fighting. You see, there is this girl that seems to annoy everyone, but expects them to be her friend still. She really annoys me because she is always cursing. Normally I really don’t care if someone curses, but she curses n front of these kids in pre-school on the bus and stuff which I think is just messed up. So I really don’t want to alk much about her.

We got some new teachers too and there is this one who is annoying. I won’t mention names but he/she jsut doesn’t know how to teach. Maybe because he/she is new and stuff.

Enough about school though. The thing I am happy about is there is a new season of family guy! It is the best show ever! If you haven’t heard of it then either you live under a rock or you are just to young to watch it. Family guy is a show about a very weird American family. It is my favorite show ever. If you have never seen it then go on Hulu.com or something and check it out. Very funny but if you don’t like stupid humor it might not be for you.

There is also a new show called The Cleveland Show. It is one of the characters from Family Guy whose name is Cleveland.  The story line of this is that Cleveland gets a divorce and travels to California to start a new life with his son Cleveland Jr. He travels to his hometown in Virginia and runs into his high school sweetheart, and soon gets married to her. This show is a lot like Family Guy, and in my opinion I don’t think this will ever be as good as Family Guy. It is still hilarious though. This is another favorite show of mine.

And my final and another favorite show of mine is South Park! It is one of  the funniest thing I have ever seen. Some episodes are pretty messed up, but it is still hilarious. It is about four 4th graders and their lives. One of the characters is name Carmen. He is the very weird, daring, adventurous, and always does something stupid. The episodes is always something weirder and funnier than the last. If you aren’t that old then I wouldn’t watch it just because they curse a lot, but besides that it is great.

Well those are my three favorite tv shows right there. I recommend checking them out.

GOT TO GO! MAMAS MAKIN COOKIES!
TATA!
BAH NOW!

Really needs to cut back on the sugary fruit.

In officially 2 days I lose my freedom. I start school. This means that I can;t sleep until 11, gotta go to bed early, I can’t hang out with friends as much that don’t go to my school, and I basically follow the same routine over and over: Wake up, shower, breakfast, get my lunch ready, brush my teeth, leave for school, get there, sit in different classes for about 2 and a half hours, eat lunch, recess, back to class, have class for 3 hours and 15 minutes, go home, do my homework, either go to football (only twice a week), or jsut hang out with friends, come home, dinner, shower, brush my teeth, bed.

If you want a smaller version of that then: wake up, get ready for school, go to school, get back from school, homework, hangout, diner, bed.

And I gotta keep doing it! I will most likely not post as much, but I am going to try to do my homework in class or in my car (like I usually do) so I can make a post about my day!

School last year went by pretty quick so I hope it does this year too. TO think of it we don’t go to school for as long as we think. Sure we are there for about 10 months, but we get off for holiday, weekends, and I usually get huge breaks for thanksgiving, christmas, etc. For christmas I get 2 weeks off, and for thanksgiving a week. I get a lot of other ones which take about a month and maybe a week off of school. So now we are down to 9 months. Take off the weekends. 8 months. So we are there for around 8 months. It isn’t all that bad sometimes though. As long as you’re with your friends it is awesome.

I am kinda like the class clown, but I never get caught and blame it on this wannabe kid.  :-) I just know how not to get caught I guess. I can always think of a good excuse to outsmart the teachers. I mean if someone can listen to their ipod, watch movies on their psp, play apps on there itouch, etc. then how can they not get caught?! Lol. My class is a religious school (christian) so the teachers there are what I would call sensitive to rules and don’t like us having pictures of like skulls and stuff like that. The teachers are actually pretty fun, but sometimes this can get annoying. So I love to make up excuses and make them sound totally wrong. I usually get told not to sass them or something, but in my opinion it is worth it. So on my binder I put a bunch of skateboard logo stickers. Most of them are good except for 2 I might have to take off, so I wanted to be prepared, and I came up with good excuses. Now I got a skull because of the skate company ZERO. I really like it so I bought it. I am guessing that they will say something like: “Why would you have a picture of a skull on your binder? That is very displeasing to Jesus.” or something like that. (remember they are sensitive about this, but are still fun. I am not trying to offend them or anything) So I will say: “Well Jesus had a skull didn’t he?” I will most likely get yelled at or something, but it is worth it.

Now the next one. I have the logo of the skate company Girl on my binder as well. So I might get in trouble because they go against boys liking girls and dating and all so I am sure that will be what they are thinking. So I will simple just tell them “It is just the skate company logo.” Lol hopefully this simple excuse will work. I really don’t like how they go against dating. Like not even romantic relationships. They don’t even like it when a boy asks a girl out just to get to know her. They won’t let us hug each other. Which I think is sad. I will obviously not say anything about my personal life because like I said even if I say that I wen somewhere with a girl I am sure they would lecture me.

So my school is good and all it is small though. There are only 207 kids. That includes kindergarten, pre-school, elementary, and high school. So since there are not many people, and most of them don’t wear cool clothes, shoes, etc. I am pretty popular because I always wear nice clothes, shoes, etc. Some other kids do too, but they only have like one cool shirt. I really don’t care though. Some of the kids are annoying, but I have made a lot of really good friends with the people that are fun to hang out with.

All in all my school isn’t that bad. It is very clean, safe, and really nice.

This is my 838 word post. Good-bye.

Everything in life has its ups and downs. For example cookies. They taste delicious, but they are bad for you. I cannot think of anything that is perfect. Everything good must have something bad before it becomes as close to perfect as possible.  Life is obviously not perfect. If life were there would be no pain, no tears, no death, no lies, no stealing, no bickering, no fight, etc.

Would you want life to be like this? Would you want life to be perfect or would you want it to still have its ups and downs?

I believe that life will never be perfect and it will not even come close to perfect. No matter what the government, other people, or even you do we will never be able to fix this world. We can make a difference in people and try to make it as perfect at possible. Don’t give up though. One person can make a huge difference. You might be asking “Well if life can’t be perfect then why even try?” Well do you want to life a unsuccessful life and have the opportunity to  help other people and not take it? Or will you make a difference and influence this world.

Think about it.
