Your 12/21/12 fantasy

What do YOU want to happen on the 21st? Do you want to ascend? Maybe meet an alien? Blow up? Tell me, please. Nothing boring.

Well, my alarm will be set for 7:15am eastern time.
I hope that I don't end up using it.
I hope (we are talking fantasy here so I'll say hope) it is a wall of sirens and flashes that awaken me.

I would grab my wife and pack a bag of essentials and head out the door, leaving it open behind me so at least the cats will have a chance.

Living in Brooklyn, just over the Williamsburg bridge from Manhattan, I have a long hike to the marinas out by JFK and the beach. It would probably take me 3 hours with no obstacles but at this time, approximately 6:30 am, with people running around everywhere, breaking sht and going nuts, it will take a lot longer.

I anticipate arriving at a marina by noon at the latest. My plan hinges on the fact that there will be a sail boat still at dock, somewhere. Here is where it gets crazy. We're going to steal the boat. Hopefully I will have picked up friends or made new friends along the way, and we will just steal the boat.

We will then take off in any direction that we can safely navigate. Note: this plan hinges on there not being a tsunami on the way, with no major earthquakes off shore as of yet.
The goal at this point would be to stay undetected by military, police, etc and find someplace down south to land. Like Belize or something. Take if from there.

If there is a tsunami on the way then I'm pretty much fd. I will however, try my best to get inland, deeper into brooklyn and possibly further on in to long island.

I figure, either way, being on foot would be the safest way to travel.
I keep seeing this vision of a 6 lane freeway completely filled with parked cars because they eventually ran out of gas. Everything will just shut down and you will find yourself in a "funnel" slowly walking an following, not even knowing where you are going, only to wind up inside a giant facility standing in line to register your name, etc…

But I will be on a boat, sailing to caribbean.
In my fantasy

My 2012 fantasy; shaven wombats falling from the sky, while homeless mexicans break out banjos in futile attempt at hillbilly song and prose....

I want to wake up turn on the tv and see Jimi Hendrix came back from outer space and brought us new music. Then he says Janis, Jim, Jerry and all the lucy are also back and ready to play us the best show of all time.

I seriously don't have one.

Was that a movie or book plot? If not, you got yourself a best seller.

One word...

...Zombies

# yeah. I have played enough nazi zombies that I KNOW I'll survive.

Honestly? A Carrington Event.

The total and complete loss of electricity, permanently will be a great leveler to humanity.

I fear an enormous amount of murder/suicides, spree killings, and some general pillage and plunder. If there is a major earthquake in a densely populated area, I could see a Lord of the Flies situation.

It will, nonetheless, be interesting.

No power would do the world good temporarily. I don't think it would be good permanently. For now we need electricity to get off this planet and I think that is something we should focus on. I'm drunk.
