after i had a while to get used to the idea of ascension i thought that it made a lot of sense and put together a lot of the bits and pieces that have been floating around in my mind for years. then i got to thinking about the implications; maybe i no longer need to concern myself with making arrangements for "retirement". in 3 or 4 more years maybe i could just run up my credit card(s) in anticipation of not paying them off. then i remembered the times i got fooled before. y2k is the one that leaps to mind; i had 47 2-liter bottles filled with water, about a month's supply of food and things like candles... batteries... i guess that was just being prudent, but i got fooled by the hype. i don't want to get fooled again, yet i totally want to keep my hopes up that i might be able to graduate from earth school finally and go on to the next thing. i saw an interesting youtube video on the subject: it is from desteni productions... -markie[/size][/font]
