What about the end of days..?

Here I come again!
Here I come again!
Some-bo-dy ple-e-ase let the fiyah in!

Today is a great day for making music, I'm gonna listen to a few songs online and then, probably gonna put together my mini set-up (consisting of a Blue "Snowball" USB mic, an 88 keys M-Audio midi keyboard and my trusty Macbook Pro).

I feel the ideas fuzing in my head already..   


YAY!

Soon hopefully I'll be able to get some hands on some nice drums from my pal DJ Ursa (USA) and I'll be busy making arrangements all day everyday. Sometimes the perk in my life lies in being satisfied of something that seems little to some. So therapeutic to me !

On another note, everyone around me keeps talking about December 21rst. What a pain, with all that hype from folks as well as the political, economical and social crisis being now global, I feel we're headed for harder times. To explain a little bit my point of view on all this; I don't think that it will be the end of the world. Simply the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT.

I hate sounding like propaganda but those are my true feelings on that. I like history too and not to try to convince anybody to think like me, but rather to let out some info for the curious minds..

"Considered one of the most significant hieroglyphic finds in decades, the 1,300-year-old inscription contains only the second known reference to the "end date," but does not predict doomsday."

"A date in the Maya calendar is specified by its position in both the Tzolkin and the Haab calendars which aligns the Sacred Round with the Vague Year creating the joint cycle called the Calendar Round, represented by two wheels rotating in different directions. The Calendar round cycle takes approximately 52 years to complete.
The smallest wheel consists of 260 teeth with each one having the name of the days of the Tzolkin. The larger wheel consists of 365 teeth and has the name of each of the positions of the Haab year. As both wheels rotate, the name of the Tzolkin day corresponds to each Haab position.
The date is identified by counting the number of days from the “creation date”.
A typical long count date has the following format: Baktun.Katun.Tun.Uinal.Kin.

• Kin = 1 Day.
• Uinal = 20 kin = 20 days.
• Tun = 18 uinal = 360 days.
• Katun = 20 tun = 360 uinal = 7,200 days.
• Baktun = 20 katun = 400 tun = 7,200 uinal = 144,000 days.

The kin, tun and katun are numbered from zero to 19; the uinal are numbered from zero to 17; and the baktun are numbered from one to 13. The Long Count has a cycle of 13 baktuns, which will be completed 1.872.000 days (13 baktuns) after 0.0.0.0.0. This period equals 5125.36 years and is referred to as the “Great Cycle” of the Long Count."

It's just the end of a cycle, another will start shortly thereafter.
My suggestion would be to spend this time celebrating the winter solstice!

Still, when I watch or read the news on mainstream as well as independent media sources, all the tension in this world gives me anxiety lol.

On that note, I'm going to go make some nice tunes.

Peace & Unity,
