Looks like some of us aren't all doom and gloom over the coming year - 2012. In fact many see it as an opportunity. Visit http://2012magic.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=1507406%3ABlogPost%3A241 and you'll get a good read on energies and a world wide telepathic event that is sure to take place in 2012.
Apocalypse, by definition, means change, not necessarily destruction. So maybe we'll all find ourselves listening to each others thoughts and thus changing as a species rather than the poles shifting, asteroids or comets falling to earth, the return of the messiah or anything quite so devastating as all that to our current existence.
What do you think?...
Don't forget to check out what's new ion the world of apocalyptic theory as well as movies and books here!

Apocalypse, 2012
Another novel has just been released called Apocalypse, 2012 by Lawrence E. Joseph. In new age circles, the idea that a world wide cataclysm is going to take place in December of the year 2012 has been gaining in popularity for a long time, thanks mostly to the Mayan Calender coming to an abrupt and absolute end.
Of course 'apocalypse' can mean more than merely the end, it is the end of things as we know them, perhaps 2012 will usher in a new era of understanding,. It's all speculative, but then, what end of the world scenario hasn't been?!
The author adds science based threats to the earth to make the book believable and if you're at all interested in the science behind the end then this might just be the book for you.

Super Comet, apocalypse
Discovery Channel showed what a Super Comet might do to the planet, and humans should we be hit by something that might resemble what ended the reign of the Dinosaurs. It's a brutal telling of an apocalyptic story.
Despite the comets terrifying consequences humanity does survive in remote areas.
The show is peppered with experts and good commentary on the what ifs.
For more on apocalyptic scenarios look up The Judas Syndrome

The end could come in 2020
Taken from the website: http://home.att.net/~thehessians/moderndisaster.html
"More than a third of Americans in a new poll expect the United States to be involved in a nuclear war during the next 50 years. A majority of Americans, 56 percent, think overpopulation will be a major problem in the next 50 years and cause a strain on food and resources. About the same number think there will be an epidemic worse than AIDS in that period, health care will be less affordable and the crime rate will grow higher.
Almost two-thirds, 64 percent, think there will probably be a major terrorist attack on the U.S involving biological or chemical weapons. About the same number fear the world is likely to face a major energy crisis and environmental problems may be a major threat.
Still, seven out of 10 people in a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press say they are hopeful about life in the new millennium.
That hopeful outlook is promoted by their faith in science, technology, medicine and higher education."Forecasters fear 2020, when computing power EQUIVALENT TO THE HUMAN BRAIN is expected to cost about $1,000. 2040 is even more frightening with ALL the brainpower in the U.S. available for $1,000. Many, including the Wired Cassandra, Bill Joy, (the main contributor to the non-Microsoft operating systems world), see this as likely to lead to human extinction.

I am Legend - Review
I am Legend - Review
Last night I took in "I am Legend" at Hamilton's cheapest theatre experience -the James Street Cinemas. $9.00 - a real deal these days.I enjoyed the movie, it played on our fears that the end is near and even if you're lucky enough to survive it you might be better off not. The premise is obvious but it's the relationship between him and his dog that is most moving.
Sam, or Samantha, the dog is his only companion for the majority of the time he spends alone in New York (3 years). He talks to her and cares for her and her for him and if you own a dog or have ever owned a dog you will go home when this movie is over and give your dog a big hug!
While the end time is painfully lonely for the main charater, it can at times be painfully slow for the audience. The infected 'people' are scary, but how is it they have the ability to suddenly scale tall buildings and the like? A little miuch, but then, the movie needed the scare factor, otherwise we'd be bored with it after the first hour or so.
As a doomsday movie it has something to offer, it's just not as entertaining as say, "Children of Men".
It's worth the watch - I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
For the quintessential doomsday experience get The Judas Syndrome
