"Come on Lu, it's time to beat your sorry ass..."
With all the earthquakes goin' on through our lil' blue planet, many of us, specially young people, are kind of "anxious" and "paranoid" because, we believe the world's coming to an end.
Thousands of weird stories have been made through the years in the past century, being the most remembered the one made up by Orson Wells, I'm not sure when the year was, but people freaked the hell out of 'emselves. I bet Orson had a big laugh while realising how naive we people could be.
The other one was when the Halley comet passed near the earth, in 1986. I can't certainly remember that because, I was a very little kid (I was just 2 years old), but what I have been told by both my mom and dad, is that many people were scared to death 'cause of this event. Some of these people even commited suicide.
With the arrival of the year 2000 many thought the world would end, and the same pattern repeated. People talking about the book of Revelations and the Apocalypse, people saying that world will finally had to pay for their sins, and stuff like that. And well, to be honest some weird things started developing since then.
Year 2006, same old story, same old song and dance. Many believed that the Antichrist would came and say "hi" to we earthlings and beat the shit out of us, on a very (and quite mystical) day: June 6, 2006. People assumed that, being June the sixth month of the year, being June 6 the sixth day of June, and being 2006 the six year of the new millenium, that would happen because somehow, the number 666 was present.
Last year, some of us, thanks to this weird little thing called internet, went to browse a lot of information 'bout the so-called "End of the World", being the ultimate news that the world would end in Year 2012. And, to make things more complicated, there was even a movie about that event. Once again, the "Orson Wells" kind of thing repeats again, even in this "modern days".
Later on this months, there have been some earthquakes around the world, and the "End of the World" effect rise once again.
- By the way, I sincerely hope all the people affected by these earth-shakin' thing, recover soon from any lost they have suffered. All the best for the chilean, japanese and haitian people out there. -
I understand, or I think I do, people being worried 'bout this. But unfortunately, there's nothing you can do against nature responses towards man's abuse. (That's the way I see it, and maybe I'm completely wrong).
Instead of getting on my nerves paranoid, without sleep, worrying that maybe I would not be able to do the things I wished, I decided to come up with a playlist of music I'd like to hear if the world comes to an end, or if Satan comes over to kick our human's asses, or if a meteorite fries the whole planet.
Whatever the way of world-ending, this is my playlist.
In case of meteorites: Echo and the Bunnymen, "Ocean Rain" album.
In case of Devil's visit: Black Sabbath "Master of Reality" album.
In case of Earthquakes breaking the world in 2: King Crimson "Red"
In case the three of them happen, the thing changes.
Track 1: "The Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen
Track 2: "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead
Track 3: "The Gates of Babylon" by Rainbow
Track 4: "Heaven and Hell" by Black Sabbath
Track 5: "Orion" by Metallica
Track 6: "Follow the Tears" by Heaven and Hell
Track 7: "Something in the way" by Nirvana
Track 8: "Whale and Wasp" by Alice in Chains
Track 9: "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden
Track 10: "Starless" by King Crimson
Track 11: "A saucerful of Secrets" by Pink Floyd.
- By the time track 10 ends, I maybe would be dead. If I am still alive, then I'd shuffle the playlist.
Anyway, in other words I don't worry if the world comes to an end, sure I'll be scared like a motherfucker, but I'll see the destruction sequence in first row. And die with honor if that's the case.
