I Survived The Rapture And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt!

Holy shit! It's past 6:00 and nothing has changed! The world didn't come to an end, it's still relatively early on a Saturday night, I've got a Sunday tomorrow; life couldn't be sweeter!

I threw together a quick mix of tunes to celebrate the fact that we've survived! I would have added more but I got some livin' to do!!! ;)

I'm anxiously waiting for Harold Camping to explain what happened... shit, this guy is now 0 for 2 in Rapture predictions! Oh well, I guess if April 21, 2011 didn't get ya, you still have 2012 to prepare yourself for.

Well anyway... let's get on with the music so I can get on with living - I've got a pizza and some ice cold beverages calling my name!

Well... I guess we've reached the end of the road...

According to Harold Camping, an 89 year-old former civil engineer and construction foreman, the Judgement Day will come this Saturday May 21st. Camping is now a U.S. evangelical Christian broadcaster, who previously made a prediction that Jesus Christ would return to earth in 1994, has encouraged his supporters to post 2,200 billboards across the country spreading his word.

Camping told Reuters; "We know without any shadow of a doubt it is going to happen."

His predictions are based upon his study of the bible and the time-line correlation between ancient and modern times. Camping says that earthquakes will begin on Saturday and true believers will be whisked away to heaven and the non-believers will be left behind to pick up the pieces of what's left.

Mr. Camping has already got his Saturday planned, he told Reuters; "I'll probably try to be very near a TV or a radio or something," he said. "I'll be interested in what's happening on the other side of the world as this begins."

Now, regardless of whether I believe his Doomsday prediction or not, which I don't, this makes perfect topical subject matter for our next mix.
