...the present Long Count/creation epoch of the Maya comes to an end on December 21st (the winter solstice), of 2012.
What will the katun that begins this new era be like?
The Maya regarded katun 2-Ahau as half good and half bad, a time of uniting for a cause, but also as the katun during which came the "end of the word of God."
And what does that mean?
It is true that in previous 2-Ahau katuns there were great religious or ideological crises.
Between 1500 and 1520 the Aztecs were conquered and forced to convert to Christianity....

What's with this freaking date?!?
I am freaking about here a bit.
Fear. It comes from what's the unknown.
Does anybody know anything for sure about this date?
Is there anything that can comfort me?
I walk around with "2012" in the back of my mind. I've got less that a couple years to live.
All the experiences I never got to have...ect...
I don't know if I am going to cry or be sick.
This is getting to be a bit much. I have this feeling that won't leave...my instincts tell me something's going to happen...and it may be negative. Another part of me tries to be hopeful and think it's a bunch of bull.
I didn't realize how anxious I was until tonight.
Crud!
