2012 Connection

I’m a Talent!

You’re a risk-taker, and you follow your passions. You’re determined to take on the world and succeed on your own terms. Whether in the arts, science, engineering, business, or politics, you fearlessly express your own vision of the world. You’re not afraid of a fight, and you’re not afraid to bet your future on your own abilities. If you find a job boring or stifling, you’re already preparing your resume. You believe in doing what you love, and you’re not willing to settle for an ordinary life.

The top 10 2012 websites that I have used to research the topic (along with getting a wealth of information on other interesting topics) are listed below. I will be publishing more lists to come as I find more interesting info. These websites are not filtered in terms of how accurate information is… they are listed based upon the merit of amount of information contained.

This is definitely just a small sampling of the 2012 websites out there… but I have to start somewhere… You can expect to see more lists in the coming days and weeks. If you know of any good websites/blogs or have one yourself, please let me know about it!

I watched a few videos on Youtube a little earlier and the video you see below is a perfect example of what I think could be considered overhyping 2012 (I didn’t post a few others because of their tasteless nature)…

This video talks about droughts, famines, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, wars, etc,. … but haven’t these been around since the beginning of mankind?… We will freak out over armed conflicts today but glorify the bloody history of ancient empires like Greece and Rome in epic movies like “Gladiator” and “Troy”… they experienced droughts, famines, floods, (maybe not hurricanes or tsunamis because of geographic location), and they definitely threw enough spears at each other to constitute at least a few wars to the credit of each empire…

So I beg the question… what is so different? About the only difference that I can find is that we live in the “Digital Age” where information is readily available from practically any corner of the earth and easily over hyped… How “easily over hyped”?

Just throw a bunch of sensitive key words at a group of people and watch what happens… Need I remind anyone about “weapons of mass destruction” and “war on terrorism” as perfect examples of over hyping something that turned out to be more hot air than any balloon ever used to get off the ground?

How is it that societies without plumbing and spears for advanced weaponry forged global empires without fear but we today in a time of abundance in information, knowledge, technology, psychology, etc,. are being paralyzed by fear over something that in all reality only exists in our imaginative minds?

It seems that every 2012 blog, website, book, etc., that I find never focuses on just 2012. From the most tacky website to the professionally published book in Barnes & Noble… you will invariably come across a wide range of topics that I just don’t see how they really have anything to do with 2012 and Mayan Prophecy. Read any Mayan Prophecy material and see then how much of the other topics out there have anything at all to do with Mayan Prophecy. It just seems to me that everybody with a topic they love have found a buzzword that is gaining popularity with the general public…”2012″… and they are simply riding the coat tails of that to market their own angle or interest…

Here is a brief sampling of topics I have found attached to 2012:

- Cataclysm
- Dragons
- Nazca Lines
- Pole Shifts
- Global Pyramids
- Global Grids
- Evolution
- Unicorns
- Space Threats
- Carbon Dating
- Myths
- Doomsday Scenario’s
- Government Secret Projects
- and on and on and on…

Now, of course, some of the listed topics seem to have merit in being attached to 2012 and Mayan Prophecy… but seriously… Space Threats? Unicorns? Dragons?…

One thing that I am focused on achieving with “2012 Connection” is to weed out wild theory from substantial information… what are the filters or paradigms set for passing verdict on information? I haven’t set that yet… and I don’t know that I am qualified to set that… here is where a well researched community would be priceless!

Anyhow… anybody think that 2012 is just another Y2K?…

After finding all kinds of resources on 2012, Mayan Prophecy, etc., on the internet, in Barnes & Noble, in Borders, hearsay from friends and associates… I have decided to create a blog that centralizes all this information into useful lists, links, updates, etc,. in hopes of fostering a community of sharing the information that we as individuals have.

I think that if those of us who find the topic of 2012 (and related fields of discussion) interesting and have done any kind of research and volunteer that information to a central community then it would benefit all of us and maybe even make an impact on the world…

I am not an a guru on this blogging stuff but I do like to write… so I hope that I will be able to figure out how to do the things I have read about in relation to building good online communities… like featuring user contribution for articles, having discussion boards, etc,.

If you have any ideas or information or theories, etc., that you would like to share… this is the place!

Through everybody’s participation this can be a very useful resource for the well researched and accidental reader of 2012…
