2012 brings new things to discover as well as uncertainty about the future. It also brings more of that 2012 doomsday BS that has been running rampant the past few years, despite common sense and scientists actually proving that the predicted Mayan doomsday will not happen! But that still doesn't stop idiots like Discovery Channel, History Channel, Patrick Geryl and other morons from continuing to shove their doomsday shows and books down our throats!

Since the world will end in 356 days from now (we are in a leap year, so we have the 29th of February), I've decided to have my own fun with this "phenomenon". Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about how the earth will suddenly reverse its magnetic fields or anything like that. I lack the intelligence to make sense of that stuff.

The reason for this title if I'm not going to talk about 2012? A certain 80's song that critics think is probably the worst song in history.

15 more weeks...

With slow business, rumors of layoffs and other crap going around my job and Anime Boston in 4 months, I think I may have three options for me to utilize if I do lose my job.

Either way...
I WILL GO TO ANIME BOSTON 2009!!

Okay, as of January 20th, I have saved up $500 so far. My goal is the $1800 region. I hit that goal last year, but that was before the recession bullcrap. But now that everybody's paranoid about the economy, including me, I've figured out how many weeks it'll take me to reach that goal of around $1800.

If I save up around $100-$120 for 12-15 weeks, I will most likely hit my goal. Then, I can go to Anime Boston fully loaded!! But that will only work if business picks up in the spring.

If the event that it doesn't and I get laid off in late April early May, I can still get a hotel room for the con, but I'll have to cut the days there to 2. If I hit around $1000-$1200, I can do that if I get laid off.

But in the event I get laid off at the end of Feburary, that will affect everything, but I can still enjoy a day at Anime Boston if I get around $700 or more. I did this once before when I first went to Anime Boston in 2006.

So, those are my 3 scenarios for me going to Anime Boston 2009 if things do or don't improve. Like I said before...

I WILL GO TO ANIME BOSTON 2009!!!!! OR I WILL KILL MYSELF!!!!

I'm NOT going to miss it!!!!!!!!

    I'm working for Berry Plastics. It's a big tube making company. And I'm going to need all the luck I can get if business doesn't pick up. A co-worker told me that if we run out of big jobs, we're screwed.

    Hopefully all the big jobs will start picking up soon as well. Man what a tough time this is. Not that many people realize we are in trouble.
