I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that it’s 6.6.2006 and, so far, the world doesn’t seem to be ending… at a rate any faster than the “standard” rate suggested via the positions of current and previous leaders.

The only sure sign of the apocalypse I’m seeing today is that they chose to re-make The Omen, a classic that was pretty much perfect the first time.

Also, I hope someone is keeping an eye on Taylor Hicks, as he undoubtedly will rise up and begin his patrol to claim your soul.

How depressing. Well, at least I had this waiting for me in my inbox this morning:

Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea,
for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short…

Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast
for it is a human number,
its number is Six hundred and
sixty six.

I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind

What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

‘Cos in my dream it’s always there the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair

yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The night was black was no use holding back
‘Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was this all for real or some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
The ritual has begun Satan’s work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can’t go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me … can’t avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me

I’m coming back I will return
And I’ll possess your body and I’ll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course

Rest assured - today, I will be doing evil in my own highly personalized and passive-aggressive way.
