Still in the age of the Pre-Apocalypse

Its been four months since 2012 ended.
I'm not going to lie. I'm a little upset about the apocalypse. 

I have been preparing for the apocalypse for a while now. I have been taking stock of all my friends skills and thus will be able to survive without having any skills of my own. I am a networker and a scavenger. I was facebook before facebook existed. You need to know someone who plays tuba? I know a guy. You need a hot tub? I know a person. You need a semi automatic weapon that can take down zombies of the ferocious kind? give me a day or two.

I have read countless juvenile fiction books on the apocalypse -many of them terrible--to be better prepared. I have watched all the shows. Even ones you havent heard of. I have studied the wikipedia apocalypse page to determine my survival strategies in each of the 12 commonly identified apocalypse scenarios.

I have figured out weather Costco, Walmart, or REI is the best place to wait out a zombie invasion.

I even learned to spell apocalypse correctly.

ALL FOR NAUGHT.

There are no zombies, there are no asteroids, and we still have electricity. Our lives are still awesome.

This sucks.

I'm not going to lie. Its a little disappointing. and I know how absolutely ridiculous it is.
