But here's something to think about:
[From: A Forest of Kings: The Untold Story of the Ancient Maya. By Linda Schele & David Freidel. ©1990]
...In the near future Maya time also approaches one of its great benchmarks. December 23, 2012 (not the 21st-EKG), will be 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 3 Kankin, the day when the 13 baktuns will end and the Long Count cycles return to the symmetry of the beginning. The Maya, however, did not concive this to be the end of this creation, as many have suggested. Pacal, the great king of Palenque, predicted in his inscriptions that the eightieth Calendar Round anniversary of his accession will be celebrated eight days after the first eight-thousand-year cycle in the Maya calendar ends. In our time system, this cycle will end on October 15, 4772.
Pg. 82
In other words, it's not much different than the transition from Dec. 31st to Jan 1st. of any year, century or millenium.
...But if I'm wrong, Oh well, I would like to say Thank You All for your fanship and support thoughout the years and it has been much appreciated even if I don't always say so, or even understand why. If it all ends tomorrow, and I go with it, it'll really, really suck, no doubt, but I just hope I haven't screwed up badly enough to warrant the trip to the "basement". If tomorrow is just another day, expect the art parade to continue as well as your continued support.
See you all tomorrow, in whatever plane of existence that may be.

Nothing bad happening there thus far.
thanks for sharing with us, and I don't think anything non man-made will happen, just humans being crazy as usual.
