Maiden Voyage

This is my first official post in the blogging world. I have been a blog reader for some time, but never a writer. Not even a commenter. But, I have quite a bit on my mind it seems, so I made the decision to dive into the world of blogdom. Who knew?

Right now I am watching "2012" with Mr. King (also affectionately known as my husband). It is a movie about the end of the world. Depressing right? Before we settled in to watch, I asked Mr. King to brief me (as he always does) as to the premise of the movie. He tells me, "What!? You haven't heard about 2012? The end of the Mayan Calendar?! The end of the world?" I replied that I hadn't, and was quickly given a rundown of what this movie entailed. Wow. I was depressed before it even started.

Being the paranoid person I am, a self admitting "glass half-empty" kind of gal, it got me thinking. What if this really is the last two years humankind will spend on this Earth? Wow. What a thought.
