If that's real life, then the 2012 movie is coming true afterall and the mayans had it right...
We're doomed.
Still - would like to get a morso before I leave this mortal coil.

The Mayans just didn't have a big enough piece of stone.

hi mikey.how about daily updates on whats happening out there posted on the forum, when everyone left after a girl's night in on Thursday night i went and laid on my sun lounger bacardi in one ciggi in the other looking up at the sky. had i had some info from you i would have known what direction to look in and the best time. i would have seen more than eight shooting stars.as you are so into astrology how about a reminder about the phases of the moon and what we should looking out for, as there is more to life than work,as ghandi said."When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator"
