FIFI'S THOUGHTS 11/13/2009 12:20:21 PM
I'M SORRY BUT SOMETIMES WE MAY BE A BIT TOO SPOILED Living in the United States on the planet Earth in the late 20th and the early 21st century:
We had a terrible terrorist attack in 2001 that has indirectly or directly lead to over 8000 American deaths (Not to mention the many many more Afghan and Iraqui deaths).
Unemployment is currently at 10.2 percent and the true unemployment is like 17.5 percent. The Great Recession has also has shut thousands and thousands of businesses. Foreclosures and bankrupcies are at all time highs.
About one in five people don't even have any health insurance and a lot of other people (like me) have just the bare minimum coverage
It's nearly impossible to make it in the entertainment world today (I should know). You either have to know somebody or almost do something illegal (which I certainly won't do).
Fewer and fewer people believe in an almighty God that created everything and are becoming more aetheistic.
We're living in a computerized society where all these computerized things are replacing 'human cereberums.' I except in a few short years there will be some kind of 'mini laptop like brain' put into people's heads with cellphone, ipod, text messaging abilities, and internet access. THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE VERY USEFUL FOR GEN Y AGE WOMEN BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO USE THESE THINGS FAR MORE THAN THEIR REGULAR BRAINS ANYWAYS.
BUT AND A BIG BUT WOULD YOU RATHER LIVE IN 1009 OR 1509 OR 1909 OR POSSIBLY 2209?
1009: PEOPLE RARELY MADE IT 40, FIGHTING WARS EVERY DAY, DYING OF ALL KINDS OF DISEASES, NO PLUMBING, NO TOILETS, PULLING EACH OTHER IN CARTS WITH WHEELS MADE OUT OF STONE. PEOPLE WHO LOOKED AT A NOBLEMAN THE WRONG....WELL OFF WITH HIS HEAD
1509: NOT MUCH BETTER THAN 1009, LUCKY IF YOU MADE IT TO 50, PEOPLE THREW THEIR 'WASTE' RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW....EEEEEEEK WHAT'S THAT HIT MY HEAD?.....AGAIN DISEASES....PEOPLE RARELY WASHED....FILTHY UNCLEAN FOOD THAT LEAD TO TERRIBLE DISEASES...A WOMAN WASN'T ALLOWED TO APPEAR IN A SHAKESPEARE PLAY....HE LIVED AROUND THAT TIME....AND PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT GOD FEARING CHRISTIANS...OMIGOSH THOSE POOR WITCHES WERE BURNED AT THE STAKE.....
1909: 60 WOULD BE A GRAND OLD AGE....THERE WERE SMALL POX AND POLIO EPIDEMICS....A BIG WAR RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER....ALLRIGHT THE WRIGHT BROTHERS JUST INVENTED THE AIRPLANE AND THE HORSELESS CARRIGAGE WAS GETTING POPULAR BUT PEOPLE STILL USED THE 'HORSE AND BUGGY' TO GET AROUND...IT TOOK LIKE A MONTH IF YOU WANTED TO RECIEVE MAIL FROM SAY RELATIVES IN EUROPE....ALSO 'FLUSH TOILETS' AND 'INDOOR PLUMBING' WERE NOT VERY COMMON...
2209: (HOPEFULLY THIS WILL NOT BE THE CASE) THE POPULATION OF THE EARTH IS LIKE 30 BILLION....POLLUTION IS LIKE EVERYWHERE.....THE AIR IS SO POLLUTED YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE SKY...LONG LONG LONG LINES OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR 'FOOD AND WATER AND OXYGEN MASKS'....GLOBAL WARMING IS SO BAD THAT IT SNOWS IN JULY AND IT'S HOT AND HUMID DURING CHRISTMAS....OMIGOSH THIS IS ASSUMING PEOPLE KEEP THEIR SANITY AND THE WORST DOESN'T EVER HAPPEN....REMEMBER WE HAVE BEEN UNDER A 'NUCLEAR UMBRELLA' SINCE 1945.....
SOOOOO THE LORD MADE YOUR DNA AND YOUR GENES AND YOUR CELLS AND PUT YOU ON THIS PLANET IN THE HERE AND NOW....THINGS AREN'T PERFECT BUT WHO KNOWS MAYBE THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT LIFE A PERSON CAN ASK FOR.....MAYBE WE ARE BIT TOO SPOILED...
Speaking of being spoiled NOW THE END OF THE WORLD IF IT DOES HAPPEN IN 2012 CAN'T BE ANY WORSE THAN THE MOVIE 2102....
GIVE ME A BREAK....
THIS THE SAME FELLA EMMERICH WHO MADE INDEPENDENCE DAY AND GUESS WHAT? IN 2012 YOU HAVE PLANES AND JETS OUTRUNNING HOT LAVA GASSES FROM VOLCANOES.....JUST LIKE YOU HAD PLANES AND CARS BEATING OUT THOSE FIERY EXPLOSIONS IN INDEPENDENCE DAY
AS A MATTER OF FACT THE LAVA GASSES ACTUALLY STOP WHILE THE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT IT.....AMAZING I NEVER KNEW GEOLOGY AND NATURE COULD ACT LIKE THAT....OMIGOSH THE HERO JOHN CUSAK AND HIS FAMILY ARE ALSO DRIVING DOWN THE LA EXPRESSWAY WHILE A 10.4 QUAKE IS OCCURING AND BRIDGES AND BUILDINGS ARE COLLAPSING ALL AROUND THEM AND THE ROADS UNDER CUSAK'S CAR ARE LITERALLY FALLING INTO THE EARTH BUT OF COURSE CUSAK'S CAR MISSES ALL OF THAT AND NOBODY EVEN GETS A SCRATCH.....FEATS OF NATURE THAT ARE PHYSICS DEFYING, GEOLOGY DEFYING.....STUPIDY DEFYING.....BUT THE PART I REALLY LOVE THE MOST IS THAT WHAT 20000 FEET HIGH 'TSUNAMI WAVE' REACHING THE TOP OF THE HIMALAYAS ( WHEN EVEN IN THE MOVIE THEY SAID TSUNAMIS WERE ONLY 1500 M OR ABOUT 4500 FEET AND DON'T WAVES GO DOWN AFTER THEY REACH LAND? )AND ALL THOSE GIRAFFES AND ELEPHANTS BEING TRANFERRED BY HELICOPTERS TO THOSE GIANT ARCS HIGH UP IN THE HIMALAYS... I MEAN THESE PEOPE COULD HAVE DRIVEN TO DENVER WHICH IS HIGHER THAN 4500 FEET.......
2012 WAS SO DUMB THAT IT CAN LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVLEY BE DESCRIBED A 'DISASTER MOVIE.'
2012 WAS SO BAD THAT IF ALL THE SURVIVERS INCLUDING THE ELEPHANTS AND GIRAFFES WERE GIVING SURFBOARDS AND RODE THOSES BIG TSUNAMI WAVES TO AFRICA (THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THE WATERS RECEDED) IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY MORE CORNIER.
2012 WAS SO BAD THAT YOU LONGED FOR SEEING ALL THOSE OTHER CORNY DISATER MOVIES LIKE INDEPENDENCE DAY, DEEP IMPACT, ARMAGEDDON, OR THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE WHERE IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT THE MOVIE A LOT OF THE PLOTS FROM THOSE OLD MOVIES WERE TAKEN AND USED IN THE 2012 PLOT (AND I MEAN ALMOST WORD FOR WORD OR SCENE FOR SCENE).
2012 WAS SO BAD THAT IN 2013 AFTER ALL THIS NONSENSE COMES TO AN END PEOPLE WILL ONLY REMEMBER 2012 AS BEING THE TITLE OF A RASBERRY AWARD CONTENDER (WHICH I THINK IT WILL BE).
2012 WAS SO BAD THAT OMIGOSH IF THE LORD HAPPEN TO VISIT THE EARTH AND SLIP INTO A THEATER.......EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK ALL THOSE TERRIBLE THINGS LIKE BUILDINGS CRASHING AND LA SINKING INTO THE OCEAN AND GIANT WAVES CRASHING OVER US MAY ACTUALLY OCCUR......MORE THAN ENOUGH THOUGHTS FOR NOW.....
