Good Game, Earth

We had a good run.

The plan this evening was to hit the gym, then back to homebase to blow some stuff up with my Xbox, and watch the new episode of the Shield that's on tonight. Now I am thinking I might just get drunk, listen to some Project Pat, and call my lady up for some sexual healing. I just found out that I am possibly about to die. And so are you.

I can't put enough emphasis on the word possibly. Somewhere underground on the border of France and Switzerland, scientists are unwittingly propagating the demise of you, me, and our entire planet. Possibly. They are playing with a new toy that they have just finished building called a Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. This thing is basically the world's largest particle accelerator. What that means is, I don't exactly know. I have been drinking and I just got off a treadmill for christsakes. All I know is, they are saying that this thing could cause the whole earth to create and then be swallowed by a giant black hole. Possibly.

The mission here is to find out what the real origins of the universe are. Essentially, all these fine folks want to do is re-create the big bang. I'm not going to bore the many, many readers our site has with the dirty details of how this is supposed to work, mainly because I have no idea. All I know from what I have read and heard about, is that it could bring about the apocalypse a good 4 years ahead of schedule.

What could go wrong?

As I was pouring a drink, contemplating this scenario, while unlikely (according to those involved in the experiment) I thought that perhaps it was time to climb the rooftops, and make the people aware that they should be living like this is their last day on earth. Possibly. But then I realized, maybe that is how we should spend everyday, like its the last one. Time to do that thing you always wanted to do. Time to tell the family and friends that you love them. Time to ball your brains out if you can.

Hell, maybe we should have a massive threat to our existence happen annually. Of course, looking at how questionable the candidates are for the position of next leader of the free world, we just might.

There have been protests and court cases that have tried to impede the process; I say let them do it. Don't get me wrong, I want to see life continue on this planet, but no risk, no reward. It's funny, most mornings I wish for something on the scale of a nuclear attack if it means I don't have to go to work.

Whether we die or not, the effects of this experiment are going to change the world. There has been speculation that this thing could open some time-space continuum and in effect make time travel possible. Possibly. How cool would that be. Life would suddenly be like the end of 2001 A Space Odyssey. We all watch ourselves get older as the universe collapses on itself or something.

I sort of regret that I am spending precious few moments that I have left writing on this shitty blog that no one reads, but not really any more than usual I guess. I know one thing though tomorrow should be a very different sort of day than all of us are used to having.

Possibly.
