Apocalypse Please

Maybe it’s part of my deep-seated sociopathic tendencies, but I’ve long daydreamed about a lifting of the veil. There’s something seductive about the idea. Much in the same way that Lost mines a collective inner desire to get marooned in a plane crash; the end of the world — deadly chaotic as it may be — feels like our best chance to relax and escape the rat race. When faced with mortgage payments and performance reviews, wouldn’t we all rather be siphoning gas, looting abandoned houses and hiding from feral catamites?
Horrible Disasters seem to mark my life. A few days after I moved into a house in Santa Cruz, some religious assholes flew planes into the World Trade Center. While I was driving down I-5, moving to San Diego, New Orleans was getting obliterated by Katrina. Shortly after I moved back from San Diego, the town threatened to burn itself down. Then, a year later, I was choking on smoke fumes as I walked across the parking lot to a job interview in Northern California. I got the job. And now, it’s LA’s turn again.
Sidebar: this is the fourth catastrophic fire to hit California in the past seven years. And the third year in a row. At what point should we start getting concerned?
Anyway, The night before Katrina wiped out New Orleans, I wrote a blog wherein I expressed my hope that the approaching hurricane would cause catastrophic damage. I got my wish! So let’s give it another shot. I would very much like to see the current fire burn the Hollywood sign. Make it happen!
omg NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! we’re all gonna diiiiiiieeeee!!!! well, californians any how. but it was either burn down or fall into the ocean. hmm. which way would you rather go? burning down really does feel a lot more Revelations-esque. maybe if you stopped having so many important milestones in your life, this country wouldn’t be falling apart before 2012. ever think of that? no, no, i bet you didn’t!
god only knows what’ll happen to china the first time I do anal.
The apocalypse puts me in a dancing mood.
in all fairness marco, i think you just like dancing… i’m already having visuals of what would happen to china if light does do anal…the chinese people somehow get transformed into japanese people 2.0 and this pisses off the original japanese. and you know japan loves starting wars over little things, shit, we’re looking at WWIII. and never mind that i’m throwing up in my own mouth at the thought of you going all ass pirate, this end of the world scenario is just fucking fascinating!!
