I know this is going to sound weird, but I'm looking forward to it. I honestly believe that the world isn't just going to go poof or there's going to be some huge cataclysm -- I'm looking at *YOU*, Roland Emmerich and your crazy disaster movie -- but I do believe there is going to be a huge change that will seem like an ending. But you know how they say that every ending is really a new beginning. I believe it's going to be a spiritual change of some kind, that people's minds and hearts will somehow be laid bare and they will have to face their inner demons and either exorcise them, tame them or be consumed by them. I think something radical is going to shift in how people look at the world and each other and afterward, the world won't be like what it was before...
I'd pretty much spend that day doing what I'd normally be doing. I'd probably go to confession that day or the day before, just to get my house in order, but I'd be like St. Charles Borromeo at the pool table, when a friend asked him what he'd do if an angel appeared to him right then and there and told him he had one hour left to live. St. Charles's response? "I'd go right on playing pool." His reason being that he'd already put the entire day into God's hands...
Actually, I've been putting together a mix of music to listen to during the last few hours; I'm still working on it, and thus far it includes several settings of the Dies Irae, the poem about the Last Judgment which is part of the Latin Requiem mass: Mozart's, Verdi's, Faure's. Also "The End" by the Doors, "When the Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash, "The End of the World As We Know It" by R.E.M., and last but not least "Komm Suesse Todt" from the End of Evangelion soundtrack
