The Lamest Apocalypse I've ever Seen

Dude– Rapture, my ass! Giant billboards or not, nothing the frak happened in the last 24 hours to signify rapture. And sure, I didn't really expect god to come down to earth or people to rise body and soul to heaven. But…but…a decent prank? Some crazy people with signs outside the white house?

For the love of Pete, I asked a college kid yesterday if they were going to any cool pre-rapture parties and he didn't even know what I was talking about. Kids today! They're so busy with their *jobs* and *plans.* They can't be bothered to get stoned off their faces and have irresponsible end-of-the-world sex.

Frankly, I'm embarrassed for Americans, if not the human race. A few weeks ago, Osama bin Laden got murdered and people took to the streets (at least in Washington.) Effin Jesus was supposed to come today and no one even bothered holding a boom box over the head playing, "In Your Eyes."

When I was in High School the world was supposed to end, and we took that tish seriously. Everyone hung out after school listening to "Forever Young" and bearing our souls. It was all very Breakfast Club.

After all, isn't that what the apocalypse is about? Focusing on what's really important, pondering your mortality, making a big deal out of an artificial date so as to all think about mortality at the same time? Personally, I enjoyed this year's rapture. I faced some things about myself that I'd long felt guilty about…and decided, "meh." That was nice, but I might have liked to do it more publicly, in some kind of large-scale emotional demonstration.

But nooooooo. We're all too busy to pay attention to the end of the world. …gee, you'd think we didn't take the whole thing seriously.
