My life has been a little different for the past couple of weeks.  I don’t remember how it happened, but I ended up on youtube watching this video about comet Elenin, which previously I hadn’t know existed.

The short of it is this: Comet Elenin, discovered in December 2010 by Leonid Elenin, amateur astronomer.  It’s basically cruising right through our solar system where it will loop around our sun and shoot back off into outer space.

There are some videos on youtube saying that the largest earthquakes we’ve had in the past couple of years have happened as Elenin has been inbound, and when it aligns itself with our earth and sun.  This is the evidence they’re putting forth as proof that Elenin is much, much larger and more dense than the government is telling us.

This is the first video I watched on Elenin, when I discovered its existence.

You can see the orbit diagram he uses in the video here.  If you can’t see it after clicking “show orbit diagram,” try a different browser or update your java.

This thoroughly scared the shit out of me… just like it was supposed to I imagine.  I felt like I’d just been given a death sentence. How horrible to be aware of when your last day will likely be.

Suddenly everything in my life lost meaning.  I didn’t want to write… what’s the point?  I spent long moments gazing at my husband and children, just watching them be who they are, and appreciating it.

I don’t generally scare easily, but yeah… this Elenin thing has my attention.

NASA maintains that Elenin is simply a comet, and a small one at that, that will pass harmlessly by out planet, and could possibly not even be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.

Other theories range from an actual collision with earth to this actually being Nibiru/planet X/a dwarf star that will pull us out of orbit, flip our planet, steal our moon, burn us up, tear us apart, etc…

This guy has a really interesting point of view.  He’s also well known in the field.  My favorite part is that he refers to videos like the above youtube video, “Fear Porn.”  Never heard it put more accurately.

So, what is it?  I don’t know.  Am I worried about it?  I try not to be.  What I am doing though is, yelling less, loving more, eating carbs… a lot of them, laughing as much as I can, and trying to REALLY appreciate the life I’m currently standing in.  It really is a beautiful life, and I’ll be so sad if it’s over anytime soon.
