So yesterday marked the 4 year countdown till the Apocalypse (you know…completion of the thirteenth B’ak’tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar on December 21, 2012).

But it just doesn’t seem like enough time. Don’t get me wrong. Chris and I have been very fortunate:

• We have great family and friends.
• We adopted the smartest, cutest and coolest dog on the whole planet.
• We started our own businesses.
• We’ve watched so many good bands play live (including Chokehold, Mouthpiece, Neurosis, Eyehategod and Carcass)
• We’ve rode an electric bull with prostitutes in Thailand, partied in an alien space ship in Hong Kong and sat next to a real life geisha on the Tokyo subway.

But there is so much we still haven’t done: I STILL HAVEN’T:

• Smoked weed in Amsterdam
• Watched 2001: A Space Odyssey or The Godfather
• Traveled to the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in China
• Attended Carnival in Rio
• Ate a deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich at the Fair
• Hit someone in the head with a beer bottle
• Cut off the head of a zombie

And soooo (with a million o’s) more. There isn’t enough time!!! Ugh.
