I've been looking around for quite sometime now to find good end of the world blogs. I have found a few but I really haven't had too much luck. It seems like they are few and far between. If you are reading this and know of any that are good, please let me know. I need to build up my blog roll with quality end of the world blogs!



Always stare at a spectacle.

There was a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive which questioned more than 500 HR professionals and concluded that 84% of HR professionals agree that well-groomed employees climb the corporate ladder faster than those who are not well-groomed. On a first impression basis, 90% of the HR professionals agreed that being well-groomed is more important than the popular firm handshake. If you would like to visit the survey findings, please check out their Gillette Resource Center. Since conducting the survey, Gillette has launched their Gillette Career Advantage web page to help job seekers. On the site you will find the information and advice you need to climb above your peers and gain the edge in today's competitive marketplace. I suggest you read through their Hire Guide to get insight on how the HR professionals think and what they really want from their candidate. You should also take the short career quiz to see if your current thoughts on landing your dream career are correct. You all know this is a rough time we are going through in the economy. The further you can distance yourself from your competition the better chance you have at landing the job. This free expert advice and free tools are something you should not pass up!

Over on the Daily 49er there is article about 2012 and the author goes on to interview a couple of the Cal State Long Beach students. It's pretty awesome the way youth handles the impending doom. Here is my favorite quote from the article:

“I don’t really care that much,” said Mike Phe, a freshman aerospace engineering major. “If something happens, fine. If not, whatever.”

They don't ever care! Just let them play their drinking games. Crazy teenagers :)

A few days ago on the Colin Mcenroe radio show there was a special on 2012. He speaks to a few different experts on the Mayans, and 2012 in general. I was able to find the audio and post it here below. It is pretty long but it is interesting if you have time. Check it out!

Charter is running a Camaro Sweepstakes in which they are giving away a brand new 2010 Camaro. How sweet is that? You may remember Charter as being the company who gave away laptops, HDTVs, Xbox 360s, and even a hybrid car. Well, now they've upped the ante. This car is equipped with all sorts of goodies like a 426hp engine, XM radio, OnStar, and it looks awesome. You can see all of the specs over on the website. The new Camaro is currently one of the hardest cars to get in America and Charter is giving it away for free. I suggest you also check out Charter on Facebook and follow Charter on Twitter because it seems like they are always trying to give away something. Another cool thing about Charter is the gift cards you get when you buy their services. If you buy 3 services you get a $100 gift card, if you buy 2 services you get a $50 gift card, and if you buy 1 service you get a $25 gift card. A good deal if you ask me. At any rate, the Camaro Sweepstakes runs from September 15th to November 26th. Get on over there and sign up to win yourself a car :)

Billy Meier recently released information warning of devastating events that will be occurring in 2012. If you are unfamiliar with Billy, he is the man who has been in contact with a group of Plejaren extraterrestrials since the age of 5 back in 1942. He first published his warning of the coming global warming crisis back in 1958 and has been extremely accurate in his environmental prophecies and predictions which he released over the past 67 years. In his recent publication Billy warns that famine, environmental destruction, economic catastrophes, and even the speeding up of the planet's rotation all will intensify dramatically by the year 2012. We are even starting to see the warning signs. Things are only going to get worse..

I just put a widget on the sidebar of my blog for a contest for LG that is running from 9/11/09 to 11/6/09. It's pretty awesome.. all you need to do is upload a video or image of something you find super ugly and need to lose and you have a chance to win! For the contest, there will be five grand prize winners who will be taking home a BRAND NEW LG Bliss phone. Take a look at the picture below, it looks pretty sweet.



There will also be 50, yes FIFTY, secondary prizes who will be winning a $50 gift card to purchase your own bliss. There is one slight catch, however, you must be 18 years old or older to enter the contest- sorry for all of my juvenile readers :( Now here is how you can enter: Go to their LG Bliss Facebook Fan Page and upload your picture or video. It's free to upload, so don't worry about that. Be sure to pick a good one though because you are only allowed to upload 1 per Facebook account. You can browse through the all the other uploads to see how you match up. The one I am going to upload is below. Good luck to everyone!

There is an article over on Standard.net that asks what will happen in 2012 when the doomsday scenarios occur. I think the answer is simple.. the end of the world of course! At any rate, you can head on over and join in the conversation. I'm sure we can talk some sense into him :)

I was linked to a pretty funny video today from a site called LolsBusters. It's one of those sites where you could just caught caught browsing it for hours. Which, of course, I did. While we still have time, it's good to get a good laugh every once in awhile. It works similar to Digg where people submit stuff they think is funny and then it gets voted on. The best stuff with the most votes make it to the front page of the site. They also have made kinda like a little community where you can add friends, read their submitted jokes, or add favorites. Also, another interesting thing I just read on their site is this:

Pay attention to our special offer which makes joking on LolsBusters twice pleasant. Starting from August 12, every week of all the jokes on the main page of our website we select 10 at random. The lucky users who have submitted these jokes get $10. Joke and win!

Pretty cool you could win 10 bucks for for submitting something you find that's funny while browsing the internet. I think the chances of winning are pretty good because it doesn't look like that are that many users on the site yet.

At any rate, I've probably rambled on about the site enough. You should just check it out for yourself. What I wanted to do originally was just post the video I found, but I figured I'd let you know where I got it. For your enjoyment, I will still post the video. If you like Robocop, Japanese commercials, and fried chicken.. this video will be right up your alley! If you find any other good ones on the site, be sure to let me know. On a side note, have you ever realized how far advanced Japanese culture is when compared to us Americans? It's mind boggling!

In March 2010, people from around the world are gathering in Yucatan, Mexico with their crystals and crystal skulls. The event encompasses a three-day conference in Merida, followed by a journey to Maya sacred sites throughout Yucatan and Chiapas with leading Maya teachers, crystal skull caretakers and healers. The purpose is to work with the crystal skulls in the sacred Maya sites to promote personal healing, healing for humankind and healing for Mother Earth.

The highlight of the conference is a special Maya Sun Ceremony performed in Izamal to the mystery of the 13 crystal skulls.

Ancient Maya oral tradition says, "There exist thirteen crystal skulls of natural human size around the world, and when they come together they will reveal all the Maya Sacred Knowledge of Life, but only if we are ready, only if we return to innocence and purity in our spirit."

At the conference there will be presenters who will talk about Dec 12, 2012 and what we should be expecting in the days prior. It would be a pretty cool thing to watch. If you want to learn more about the conference or would like to attend, check out the Iluminado website.

Remember that project in Dubai where they were planning on creating an island series in the shape of a world map? Well, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars, 'The World' has now come to an end. The multi-billion dollar island chain has now been canceled. Dubai isn't the only place in the UAE that is experiencing the credit crunch. It has been estimated the $300 billion of building has been put on hold since prices started dropping. That's pretty hard to swallow. At any rate.. one "World" down, one to go!

There is an article over on PajamasMedia which talks about the current end of the world scenario involving politics. Here are a few snippets I found interesting:

There is a mounting body of evidence of a global alliance directed against the United States, running from Moscow to Tehran, Damascus and Caracas. United by hatred of America, funded by oil and narcotics revenues (including our own), and unanimous in their contempt for free societies, the leaders of Russia, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Bolivia publicly declare their intentions and demonstrate their resolve.

A global secret alliance.. I love conspiracies :)

We know that Obama does not particularly like America, but failing to respond to a threat of these dimensions, not to mention actively helping our enemies, is grave indeed.

Crazy much? I can tell you three things for certain about the author of this article. 1.) He owns at least 4 guns which he keeps in his house and are loaded at all times. 2.) He watches FOX News religiously and thinks Bill O'Reily should run for president. 3.) He is a complete idiot. It's still nice to hear what morons think about the end of the world every now and then. You can read the whole article here.

I was watching the season premiere of truTV's Rehab last Tuesday and just thought to myself, "wow". This show is just totally out of control. If you are a fan of reality TV, this is definitely a show you are going to want and check out. Take a look at this preview:



That looks like a good time doesn't it? It's definitely one of those shows where you have to like watching stupid people do stupid things. Not sure if any of you saw the last season, but this one looks to be just as crazy. Seeing stuff like this reminds me of the craziest party I ever went to in high school (of course, it was one of my parties). A couple hundred high school kids and alcohol out in a huge field is just a recipe for disaster. But, even with a road block and lots of interrogation, the cops never found me. That's how I roll. At any rate, if you haven't seen this show check it out tomorrow at 10 pm Eastern. You won't regret it. And while you are at it, check out the sweepstakes running on truTV's site where you can win a chance to party with them here: Sweepstakes. Good luck!

There is a new article which is a good read over on the popular site Telegraph titled '2012: Will it be the end of the world as we know it?' Of course, it doesn't match up to anything that is written here, but I like to spread the wealth around. At any rate, the author points out 10 possible doomsday scenarios of how the world is going to end and writes up a little tidbit about each. The craziest part to me is that he gives a likelihood of each happening and the worst is .1/10. Those chances aren't that bad! There are a couple that are actually 7/10. These people know what they are talking about.

I was watching a show last night called The Bible Code: Predicting Armageddon which aired on the History channel. You should check your listings and give it a watch if you see it on there. It was quite interesting. I know a lot about the Bible code and have been following its many predictions that have come true throughout the years. Ever since Isaac Newton was searching for codes in the Bible since the 1600's this topic has been quite popular. The most intriguing thing about the code to me is the underlying theme: we are in the end of days and have been since September 11th, 2001. The code also agrees with the Mayan prediction of Earth being destroyed in 2012. I have posted a picture below of Bible code taken straight from a matrix in the Torah. And as you can see, Earth will be annihilated in 2012 by a comet.
