After a tough year, I'm at last on a Christmas vacation. Back into the civilization, I heard some nasty rumors about the year 2012 - that's pretty soon. Can anyone here give me any factual, only the factual, basis for the rumor, like this Mayan calendar thing etc. Just wanna know if I should pack up or not. I'm more on the listening mode than on the writing one, kinda suffering from 'writer's block' after a long absence, or maybe just plain lazy. So you folks can run your one-man shows here for me. All right, I'll be listening, fellas...

Oops, I almost forgot, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all - lovers and haters alike, friends and foes, not to mention the regular stalkers. Ok, I promise no "P" word here (you heard it, posters) 'cause some folks here get the chills the moment they hear the word, LOL, just kiddin'... ...back on to my couch...
