As I was driving the other day I heard a song on the radio that caught my attention. The artist was singing about how the world was going to end in 2012 so we should "party like it's the end of the world." It made me smile and think about how people were convinced that the end of the world would come with the new millennium and we should "party like it's 1999." Even though there is more of a reason to think that the world will end in 2012 because of the Mayan calendar, there isn't much worry about it given that it is a little over a year away. I feel like people overreacted with the turning of the millennium, thinking that either the world would end or that all technology would crash. Now, some people are overreacting and basing the fate of Earth on some indigenous natives hundreds of years ago. Then, I get to thinking about how partying probably isn't the right reaction to the end of the world. Shouldn't we instead be spending time with our loved ones and setting things right with God? If you're busy partying when the world ends, that seems a little selfish. Just some food for thought. Anyway, the idea taken from Prince is fun and nicer to sing about then the normal gangstas in the club gettin monay. Compare the two:
