According to the RW, that's the BIG DAY! Will we still be here, or not? Only the Glen Becks of the world seem concerned.

"1961--The Upside Down Year!
First Upside Down Year since 1881!
Next Upside Down Year is 6969!"
Talk about thinking far ahead.

But I was in high school at the time and the 666 connection was too strong, even though this was before The Exorcist.

In the 80s, I was going to make a T-shirt for the "End of the World Tour" ...

Ragna-Rock-N-Roll (3 dates as determined by the prophet)

The list of performers included (or would have included) Anthraxx, Poison (may have been before their time), Disaster Area, and two or three others.

12 years old then.

I existed in 7/7/77, but don't remember what I was doing then. I was probably a cute 18 month old

Recovering from a car accident on 9/9/99 (and still have the scar on my head)

I'll be home probably celebrating my renewal on 12/12/12, and wondering if the Mayans are right...
