So, here in the land of "perfect weather" it rained yesterday on Labor Day. Do you see the irony in that? People flock to the beach, flock to San Diego from out of town to go to the beach, to go to the beach for the last official beach day, and it rains! LOL! It's been so dry for so long, that the sound of rain was unfamiliar to me. It woke me up in the middle of the night. And it rained earlier today, and now it's hot and muggy. I feel like I'm in Florida, not California.
It's so hot that the fish tank temperature was just at the top of the green area of the thermometer. Pete the fish has been so hot that he's just been buried deep in his shell all day. The cats are snoozing on the dining room chairs that are pushed in under the dining room table.
There's fires in Texas, and there's remnants of storms in the east. And while it's not weather, I want to mention that there's earthquakes too.
According to wikipedia, because I couldn't find any other site, there have been 5(?) typhoons.
The economy of the world is not healthy.
I have no job.
It feels like the world is coming to an end. If so, we don't want everyone to know. If everyone decided that the world was indeed ending on December 21, 2012, then the next year and four months would suck. A lot of people would stop working. A lot of people would stop abiding laws even if law enforcement didn't up and quit. I mean, look at what happened in England a month ago. Rampant rioting and looting. Did you see that news clip of this kid who got hurt in the middle of a riot, and these guys acted like they were helping him stand, but they really just took the opportunity to take shit out of his backpack? That's fucked up.
If everyone knew that the world was coming to an end, I would just assume I was going to get mugged raped and beat up before that end of days, probably multiple times. But the pisser would be that no one would be decent enough to murder me. I always assume my car is going to be broken into every night, if the end of the world were coming for sure, I would KNOW my car would be gone one day.
I bet a lot of people would cheat on their significant others. Hell, a lot of people cheat on their significant others now.
People would also take risks they previously would not have taken. They would buy, or rather, steal more motorcycles and sports cars and drive recklessly. There wouldn't be any kind of insurance of any kind anymore, and medications and medical help would be limited, so if people got hurt, they would just die.
People would definitely not do their taxes, although federal employees who worked for the IRS would probably be some of the first people to quit.
I wonder if there would be an influx in the religious communities. Maybe some people would abandon religion while others would take it up with newfound zeal.
The drug business would be very profitable, for those who decided to continue to work, that is. And there would be way less risk with less law enforcement around.
Of course, the scientific community would still have those heroes still working. They would be working around the clock to end the end of the world. Although that would be very difficult, because they would need basic services to keep running, like electricity and water.
It sounds terrible. If it were hot, there would probably not be air conditioning or water, and pools would get nasty and stagnant. Then there would be a huge explosion of the mosquito population. So, then people would start dying off of mosquito transmitted diseases. There would most likely be a consequential explosion in the fly and maggot population as well, with all the dead bodies and garbage never being picked up. Of course rats, mice and roaches would also be rolling in all the shit all over the streets, which would also lead to more infection of the general population.
Maybe the whole human race would basically die off before the end of the world even came around.
Maybe I'm just too damn hot and dehydrated and I've watched that commercial for the Samsung Satellite laptop too many times.
