2012 and so forth with the exploding continents and all that, I know y'all heard the stories, I know y'all heard the fire and brimstone from the nonsense peanut gallery, but I'm here to tell you saints that this particular year is just like any other year, and that it's in this year that you will reap what you have sown. Just like any other damn year, right? Right. And the thing you have got to dig is that even though you're gonna see the fruit of your decision tree poppin' up all ripe and shiny, it's been that way for you since that first big year when you squirted out and some doctor smacked yo gooey ass, showed you to yo mama, then passed you off to a nurse who stuck you in a hospital crib behind glass with twenty other tiny new sparks wearing itty bitty knit caps. You dig? You see it, saints? Yeah, right on: this year's big for you, it's big for everybody, and so was last year, and the year before that, all the way back past nailing Jesus to a tree, back past Achilles bein' a bitch, back past that guy Og who figured out how to set shit on fire with a rock. All the way back, man! Back beyond the pool'a goo makin' amino acids at the foot of a volcano! Back, saints! Shit, the year God said "Let there be light!" ain't no different from this year! Can you hear it? What's that? Gimme an amen.

*He was right about 2012. I suspect this applies to 2013 as well.
Hooey! Hooey, I tell ya. If you dun like the status diem, you change it. Mayhaps it won't work on everything every try, but change is always possible if only in your own head (through a variety of happy means). Heck, if "as it was written" was a fact, then Wynkoop Brewing wouldn't be selling Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout later this month (exactly what its name purports), Colin Raff wouldn't be making fabulous art (http://zbags.tumblr.com/archive or zbags dot tumblr dot com if the url strips out), and I wouldn't have been killed by a two ton roller coaster car back in the seventies.
I believe he was thinking more along these lines.
