It's the End of the World As We Know It....

With the way Mother Nature has been acting lately, my superstitious brain has kicked into overdrive. I can't turn on the Discovery Channel (love it!) without seeing some kind of program about the end of the world being broadcast. There's been so much talk about it lately, but it just seems like the media is using this as a cash cow, and raking in the profits.

Do we really need to prepare for the end? Will we be wiped out like the dinosaurs? If the world is going to end, should I forget about buying those Steve Madden shoes that are on sale? Some serious questions here people...should we prepare ourselves??
The recent earthquakes have really made me worry. We haven't felt anything strong here in San Jose, but it's only a matter of time. I have a very real fear of water, and it has just grown stronger as I've gotten older. My worst fear is that I will be somewhere near water (like Pier 39 in San Francisco) when a massive earthquake hits, causing a giant tsunami to come barreling towards me. And what would I do in a situation like that?

Well, my guess would be, after soiling myself and those around me, I would turn tail and run. Running in a zigzag pattern would only work if I were being chased by an animal, so I would probably head straight for the hills. Or if I had access to a vehicle, I would take my chances with that. Either way, I would probably want to be wearing comfortable shoes. Hmmm....sorry Steve, I think I'll pass on those wedges.
