According to Mayan legend, today – Dec. 12, 2012 – is supposed to be the end of the world.

Or is it Dec 21? Whatever. (Update: Yep, 12/21, not 12/12. Well…same message, different day. Apocalypse Then.)

Well, I’m not buying it. It’s almost 5pm and we’re still around…and listening to REM’s excellent – and appropriate It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it’ll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right – right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

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

Yeah, I’m not really taking the “end of the world” seriously.

If I’m wrong, won’t really matter what I write here, ja?

At some point, the video below will/might die. I hate embedding anything that is not mine, just because I can’t guarantee that (whatever) will be here tomorrow. *sigh* You’ve been warned.

That said, an awesome (to me) mashup of REM’s End of the World cover videos. The good, the bad, the ???
