Once I decided to watch a History Channel special on prophecies related to Dec. 21, 2012, and though it was a bit interesting, as both sides of the argument were presented ( it should always be that way), I found it bizarre that so many people believe in and try to relate Nostradamus' quatrains to modern day. Yeah, people really do, and that is so sad. His quatrains are so vague how could anyone relate them to anything???? How are they predictions of the future? I want hard facts, like time, place, and event, or who, what, when, where, why, and maybe how to be answered. If those important pieces are missing, how does that qualify something as a prophecy? I also believe that many of his writings were wildly misinterpreted or mistranslated, which lends more fuel to my argument. My husband refers to Nostradamus as Nostradumbass, and I am afraid that I concur only when people start talking about his quatrains and foretelling the future.
Oh, and lets talk about movies, build-ups to releases, and then the eventual let down. I think most will know where I am headed with this; the movie 2012. Wow what a disappointment that was. The special effects were cheesy at times, the story line was almost stupid and quite predictable, and the acting was mediocre. A worldwide flood will be the end of days?? Seriously?? What a waste of money.
Anyway, leave it to the History Channel to instill a sense of doom and depression in you. Seriously, what is the point of going back to college now to earn my MSN, if I will be dead in two years? My brother rolls his eyes when I say this and tells me that I need help. I retort with, "Oh yeah! Well you need to watch the History Channel dumb ass." [joking Noel--you know I love you]
