4 Things the Media Really Wants You to Believe

Over the last couple of years as Disaster Girl, there were several instances where something was brought to my attention in a 'Oh- this happens all the time, don't be alarmed' sort of fashion. Usually warranting a side eye, and fasting typing fingers to figure out how I could have possibly missed this bit of claimed 'truth'. Below is my list of the top things that the media would like to you believe is relatively normal and  completely true...

Yeah... Right.

4. We normally have several named winter storms a year.

This is a flat out lie from a well known and possibly most listened to

weather service in an attempt to 'alter' meteorological terms.

...And no one's happy. There was no Nemo, remember that.

Naming a winter storm? Meteorologists are appalled.

3. Sinkholes developing is a pretty run of the mill thing.

While this isn't an incredibly rare thing to happen; the level, frequency,

and depth at which it is currently happening is a cause for alarm.

2. April is now fireball season.

Really? I mean come on media, you have got to be kidding me.

1. Aliens aren't real.

Yet every major land holder in the world has at least

one government agency handling extraterrestrial matters.

So why do they want so desperately to convince us that these lies are truths? There could be a million difference angles at play here, but why speculate and avoid the real issue at hand? The fact of the matter is that winter storms are getting bigger and badder. A sinkhole could swallow your bedroom at any moment. Fireballs are raining from the sky at an alarming rate. And aliens are f*cking real.

30 Days or Less to Live - Forced to Evolve

Hypothetically speaking-

If these were your last 30 days on Earth,
What would you do?

How would you spend them?

Would you make up for your past mistakes?

 Or would you live without a conscious of what tomorrow holds?

The calendar is coming to an end, and the real countdown now begins. The Maya were an incredibly intelligent group of people with knowledge that far exceeded their time period, let alone what we now deem as 'genius'. While I don't necessarily believe that the Mayan calendar ending on December 21st 2012 means humanity will end per se, I  completely disregard new reports about a older calender being found with 'conflicting' information.

Riddle me this, say there was a devastating magnitude 10.2 earthquake somewhere in the world tomorrow- would you wholeheartedly take the first news article you find and print it in history books? Or would you wait until all the details emerge, until all the facts have solidified and print the last found report? The simple fact that anthropologists are actually coming out of the woodwork to 'disprove' what was already largely viewed as a myth is quite strange and troubling at the same time. How convenient for a calender to surface months before to 'calm' the small percentage of people who are 'fearful'. Do you see how silly this is? Debunking the already debunked, why bother? I'd rather maintain my good standing as a 'respectable' scientist. 

Enough with the nonsense, because I could sit here all day going on and on about this but in the end it does not matter. What matters is the 'What ifs', and how you decide to handle them. Will you ignore, as RapNews so eloquently put it, "The self-imposed deadline for correcting our way of life"? How will you use the 'warnings', if you choose to acknowledge them at all?

The biggest question I find myself asking is how you can even ignore such a 'statement', as so many are at this very moment in time. When someone threatens your life, do you not acknowledge the threat? When someone gives you a grave warning, does it not sit at the back of your mind bugging you?

If the world does really end in 30 days we will be comparable to that of an ant hill, largely unaware of the giant wave of uncertainty coming for us just beyond the hill we preoccupy ourselves with daily. We would be gone, and the universe would not even let out a sigh. 

The Mayans didn't really believe the world would end in 2012, but that doesn't mean we're out of the woods either. They believe that their Gods created four worlds, of which the first three were failures. The last world, our world, was successful- but it is also 'doomed' because everything with a deadline has to end. December 2012, our cut off date, is upon us my friends.  The 5th world is coming, but the question still remains- what does that say for the fate of the fourth?

So I ask you, ironically hours after a holiday that you are supposed to take a moment out and be thankful for what you have, will take these days and make the most of them? Will you evolve to survive? Will you enter the fifth world without any regrets, leaving the past in the past- or will you cling to a dying world, ultimately sealing your fate?

CHOOSE YOUR WORLD CAREFULLY.

Tropical Storm Isaac made landfall in Haiti, barreling Port-Au-Prince as it almost gained hurricane status early Saturday morning. Isaac is forcasted to strenghten into a category 1 hurricane before it hits the Gulf Coast sometime between Monday Evening and Tuesday. Warnings have been issued for much of the gulf coast and Florida panhandle, with  all other warnings and watches issued for Florida being discontinued.

On Saturday, Florida Governor Rick Scott placed the entire state of Florida under a State of Emergency ahead of the storm. Residents in the Keys were asked to evacuate as well as citizens that reside in low lying areas in Southern Florida. Port of Miami is scheduled to close at 7PM on Saturday night, as well as Key West International Airport- several flights from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Miami International Airport have also been canceled as of midday Saturday. More closures to come soon.

Tropical Storm Isaac has already claimed the lives of at least four people in Haiti as well as one in the Dominican Republic. The Republican National Convention has not been cancelled but activities have been postponed until Tuesday afternoon. Florida Governor Rick Scott has already cancelled all of his activities in   the convention center, as well as the Governors of both Louisiana, and Mississippi.

State of Emergencies have been issued in Louisiana,  Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida panhandle as of Sunday evening. Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for Louisiana, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle- and voluntary evacuations have been issued for Mississippi.

Hurricane Isaac made landfall at the mouth of the Mississippi River at 6:45 PM on August 28th, 2012. It was a category 1 hurricane at impact with wind speeds of 80 MPH +, multiple impacts may be expected. Isaac made a second landfall in Port of Fourchon and 2:15 CDT on August 29th, 2012- 7 years exactly from Hurricane Katrina's impact with Louisiana. At his strongest Isaac was a Category 1 Hurricane with sustained winds of 80 MPH and gusts over 100 MPH.
