It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Let’s just say, I’m not worried about the sudden drop off of the Mayan Calendar today. Why? Because, the universe has a sense of humor.

Here are my top five reasons why tomorrow is just another day:

1. I am nowhere near finishing a single project I began on Jan. 1, 2012. There are unfinished scrapbook pages strewn about my house, my garage looks like the base camp of Everest and the closets – let’s just say your world might end if you open the door without ducking for cover first. I predict a cataclysmic Earth shattering moment will only occur when I have successfully finished my long-standing, to-do list, giving me just enough time to bask in the glory for a handful of seconds before realizing that I spent my last days on Earth scrubbing marker off the wall.
2. On the first day of sixth grade, my teacher stuck a Twinkie in a baggie, sealed it, squished it and taped it to the chalkboard. On the last day of school she pulled it down so we could see how it was still perfectly preserved, save for the squishing. Her lesson: Twinkies don’t decompose or even mold. Twinkies are bad for you. My 12-year-old take: Twinkies are even more awesome than they taste! Supposedly the Mayan calendar’s cycles have predicted major changes in the past and great upheavals at the end of a cycle. Ummmm, Twinkies, gone forever? I think doomsday has come and gone my friends.
3. We’re still waiting for the next and possibly last installment of Indiana Jones and now a new Star Wars film after the purchase of the franchise by Disney. ‘Nuff said.
4. Mayans COULD predict the future and with the economic hit Mexico has taken after significant drops in tourism dollars due to the recent drug wars, they knew their future kin would need a boost in their wallets. Nothing drives people to stop and stare at you faster than an end of the world claim. CNN reports that hotels on the Yucatan peninsula, near the heart of the Mayan homestead, are booked solid through the end of the year. Way to look out for your great, great, great, great, great, you get the point, grandkids.   
5. The calendar was created and kept up to date by men.  Need I say more?
