All Wrapped Up — Dec. 22

I actually wrote this post on Friday, the day the world was supposed to end. If you’re reading this, I guess the Mayans were wrong. If you’re not reading this, then I wasted a good half hour of my last day on Earth writing something that no one will ever read. I wish I had used that time eating fried okra, or getting in a high speed chase, or rock climbing. But I guess it’s too late for that now.

For all of humanity’s sake, I hope you’re reading this. And I hope the Mayans were just really, really bad at math.
