Yesterday, the 12th day of the\u00a0 12th month of 2012, important things happened in my life which were not made a part of the public record, but were still very important to me.\u00a0 Why am I saying this?\u00a0 It seemed that many people thought that yesterday was going to be the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar.\u00a0 Well, earlier in the year, someone wrote that this prophesy was not based on anything credible, because the Mayan calendar only came to an end and it just meant that the calendar would then start over again, after the end.<\/p>\n
One of our co-workers got married yesterday, at the stroke of 12 midnight, on 12-12-2012.\u00a0 I’m not sure what their reason was for this.\u00a0 But everyone can’t turn back the hands of time.\u00a0 Yesterday was the last chance.\u00a0 There is no thirteenth month in the thirteenth year, next year, in 2013, so that was the last chance.\u00a0 Did it make any difference to me?\u00a0 Hey, I did some very notable and important things yesterday, that no one will care about, but will be remembered by me forever.\u00a0 So I didn’t miss out on anything.<\/p>\n
I wonder how life was like on the 12th day of the 12th month of 1212?\u00a0 People getting married just because it was a special date?\u00a0 Some tyrant executing his enemies on this date, so everyone would remember the date?\u00a0 Someone freezing their butt off in some cold, dank castle?\u00a0 Rats living in the thatched roofs spreading fleas that would later cause the Bubonic Plague?\u00a0 Medieval knights jousting?? \u00a0 Or what?<\/p>\n
