Waiting For Armageddon To Come

Intrigued by the title, huh? Hope you stick with me for a while. I thought that I'd better start this thing while there's still time. It has been my opinion for some time that the world is kinda holding its breath. It's as though we're all waiting for something if not actually earth-shattering then at least apocalyptic enough that there won't be anyone left alive who isn't instantly aware that the agenda has changed. Changed in such a way that all avenues of retreat into previous lifestyles are irrevocably cut off, all established patterns of thought and belief are rendered instantly obsolete. I'm pretty sure that this pregnant pause in humanity's consciousness is a numerolgical thing ... a millenial effect. As in everyone feels a bit sort of cheated and let down. We woke to the 21st century and realised, for the first time--more or less--that the groovy future full of robots and other funky techno-bling that we were 'promised' in our '60's and '70's childhoods had sort of snuck in under the door while weren't paying attention.
