First of all, George W. Bush is going to take over the United States of America.

Towards the end of his last year in 2008, when he really starts feeling the pressure, he's gonna declare open war on some country he shouldn't. Most likely North Korea. Whoever it is, he's going to bomb the wrong ********, and then they're gonna open a can of Whoop a** that'll make 9/11 seem like a schoolyard bully. Once this happens, Dubya'll be free to declare State of Emergency, a state where he is legally allowed to suspend the election. The Patriot Act and all it's predecessors will go into overdrive, and virtually every right will be stripped from the citizen.
Get out while you still can.

The world economy is going to collapse.

Remember how the Cold War ended? America wound up having more cash, and eventually just got the USSR to arm itself into financial oblivion. Sound familiar to what's going on right now with the US? The combined forces of the Middle East are causing Emperor Dubya to spend, what is it, six hundred billion dollars a year on arms? More than the entire rest of the world combined, or something ridiculous like that? Pre-Bush, the American dollar was sitting at around a buck fifty Canadian; now the two currencies are equal. Couple this with the population shift I'm also going to explain, and we've got a bit of a problem. Of course, once the USA tumbles over (and it stands high, so it'll fall far), it won't be long before the world economic situation cracks like glass. 1930 all over again.

The Indigo kids are coming.

The new generation is one that's spiritually supercharged; couple that with a communication medium like the internet, and we're gonna have a whole new wave of people coming up on us. The new generation has no tolerance for bureaucracy, absolute authority, doing things without asking why, and generally things that have an absence of creativity involved. That is; they're children of Novelty. They have no tolerance for what's been done before and are excited and motivated by the new, the bold, the fresh.

Drug use in schools, in the past thirty or so years, has gone from virtually unheard of (not that it didn't happen, but you didn't talk about it) to being completely open.

Fifteen year olds talk to their peers about their Ecstasy use in between their Grade 10 classes. Eighteen year olds employ such Babelian terms as 2c-i, 2c-t-7, 5-MeO-Dmt, and the like. This is causing kids these days to open their eyes. Realize that the scholastic institution is bullshit. People these days say that kids dropping out is on the rise, it's starting to become a real problem; it's not a problem, it's a solution. Kids are taking the Red Pill at a very early age.

After the second World War, the veterans came home to their lovely childhood sweethearts and Mated Like Bunnies.

This caused a huge population bubble we all know as the Baby Boom. To facilitate the Baby Boom came millions of jobs. These Baby Boomers are around 50-55 or older now; and they're dying out. So, things are going to come to a head. With the way today's schools are created, you need four years of college just to deliver pizzas. As the Baby Boomers die out at rates higher than Indigo Children are being born, it's going to create a job vacuum. The problem with this, though, is that all of those jobs are going to need years and years of post-secondary, and kids these days aren't even finishing high school. The motorcycle wheel is gonna start wobbling as there's not going to be enough people to fill that vacuum. Technological progress, now at a point of exponential acceleration and almost self-replication, is going to just keep on motoring along, with society being the hapless driver who knows no matter what he does, he is gonna crash. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is going to go way up as the new kids find themselves incapable of maintaining McJobs, tightening the economic stress.

The Oil's gonna run out. No s**t. War's going to break out as the most powerful nations fight over what's left.

Virtually all civilizations had a Sun God.

The Voice of God (the Holy Spirit) is a light within you, an energyless light that you can even see when your eyes are closed and in the dark (i.e. dreaming and such). It's only natural that people would associate this light with the Material light, the Sun, a nice big ball of Nuclear Fire.

More than one religion has predicted the Apocalypse.

Most of them predict it ending in fire. The Norse had Ragnarök, which was to conclude with the Titan Surtr burning the Nine Worlds with the Sword of Revenge, that consumes everything in its path with flames. Islam has Qīyāmah, said to happen when it's least expected, where the sinners will be consumed in Hellfire and the saved will return to the Garden. While the numbers and time scales are a bit sketchy, Hinduism teaches that Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of the Vishnu (the Ultimate Personality of Godhead), will come to Earth to vanquish the sinners and bring the virtuous to the Light. And then of course we have the book of Revelations, and so on, and so on.

The world will be scorched in Nuclear Fire.

I'm sorry. Brace yourselves. This is the Holy Fire that everyone keeps going on and on about. It's coming, it's coming hard, and it's coming soon. Brush up on your survival skills while it's still optional.

International trade will stop.

People are going to die off.

Civilization will crumble. After the riots, civil wars, and attempts by governments to regain control, mankind will one day find itself living out of the charred husks of old towns and cities. There will be no power. There will be no gas. People will be forced to go back to "the old ways". Tribes will form. People will begin to remember what's it's like to be forced to work together, rather than against each other, as Capitalism would have you do. People will remember what's it's like to live, what's it's like to survive, and not just exist absently.

...Well... s**t! We're screwed then!

Not necessarily..

All you need are your daily doses of required nutrients and what-not.
Omega-3s and Vitamin sunshine and yada yada yada.

Okay, we good? Now...

Reap the benifits of this life, it's the only one you've got.

Have sex.

Enjoy it. Be good at it. Practice it casually. Have ******** buddies. Have open relationships, polyamoury, and polygamy. Spread love; but not STIs! Wrap your crap; that means use a condom. If you want to bareback it, get you and your partner tested first, every time you have a new partner. Ladies, take the pill. It's a small price to pay for the assurance your life won't be accidentally radically changed forever.

Be Good, Giving, and Game.

Focus on trying to provide your partner with pleasure, not trying to get them to pleasure you. Be energetic, but not frantic. This isn't a race. Take your time. Discuss sex openly with your friends; swap tips and stories (but don't name names!). Discuss sex openly with your lovers.

Reclaim your sexuality. Don't be ashamed of it; don't hide it, flaunt it. Learn the Hanky Code. Celebrate your sexuality. Cultivate it. Masturbate. Don't just do it to get off, really take some time and explore yourself. Find out what you like and dislike, and what you'd like to like with a bit of practice, maybe. Read the Kama Sutra. Practice things in your daily life that will improve your performance. A healthy diet low in meat and high in fruit (especially tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, and papaya) makes your c** taste better; millions of vegetarians will agree!

Take up meditation.

Take up yoga. Be flexible. Don't be afraid to try new positions. Experiment! Bite softly. Test your limits. Change it up, in the bedroom and out; repetition is boring! Learn to improvise.

Don't automatically associate Sex with Everlasting Love.

It's okay to love someone for only a few weeks; a few days; a few hours! You don't have to love them forever. If you love someone who doesn't love you, don't force them to. Let what is, be. There really are plenty of fish in the sea, and if they don't love you for who you are, it wouldn't work out for very long anyway.

Get connected! Stay connected.

Don't drop everyone you know every time a new hottie comes around. Don't label yourself. We live in a world where gender and sexuality are, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder.

Make yourself attractive.

Take good care of yourself. Be presentably clean. Create a 'look'; don't just blend into the crowd. Stand out, but do it tastefully. Look at the people you're attracted to; identify the qualities that attract you to these people. Can you apply them to yourself? If you like how collected someone is, be collected. If you like how extroverted they are, be extroverted.

Be genuine about it.

Learn to cultivate these qualities, not fake them, and not only will the people you're attracted to love you, but now you can love you too. Don't be afraid to love yourself! Paired with a healthy amount of humility (not shame!),

In time, towns will turn to cities.

Expeditions will be made into the old power plants; cities near salvageable hydroelectric dams will flourish like Jewels of the Nile. Civilization will rise again; only this time, constantly surrounded by plant-choked ruins, a chilling reminder of the perils of power. The quality of life will begin to rise again, and over time, a new society founded upon harmony and prosperity will emerge.

Self-Confidence is the sexiest trait you can have. Play the game*. Enjoy it. Play hard to get. Be hard to get. Be playful.
Be you.
Be free.

*I lost.

I find it hilarious that people always say I look different and I act different, like, I appreciate life more. My mom thinks it's because of a near-death experience I had.
It wasn't, honestly? The car barely touched me.

Acid. ******** Acid, changed my life.

I just wish peope would see that. A few people know, but I don't think they believe me.

Ah - FREAKING - Men.

Thats something I disagree with. It mirrors my view on the No Child Left Behind Act. Not all kids have potential, I'm sorry to say they don't.

In that same thought, not everyone can handle acid. I know it would break a few people. I've seen it when it breaks people. It's not pretty.

If you think you can handle it, definately, go for it, though.
