Signs indicating the end of the world?

A friend shared a link on my facebook which demonstrated what appears to
be alignment of the tectonic plates. This is supposed to be a precursor
to a large seismic event in high risk areas. Before this, there were
articles that came out in Time and another magazine about the imminent
extinction of life in the oceans. This was quite disturbing because of
the recent incidents of massive fish kills in the Philippines.

So it seems that there quite a lot of current events that are consistent
with an apocalypse in 2012. Strangely enough, this news doesn't have
that much of a negative impact to me. Such a doomsday scenario would
fulfill a childhood wish of mine that we all die together, instantly. So
no one is left behind and we all take that next step together. Given the
various ecological, environmental and economic disasters that appear
impending, which can result in a breakdown in social order, I would much
rather see it all end, rather than leave my loved ones in such a dire
and ruthless world where their outlook is bleak.

But nothing is certain, and while there are these so-called "signs of
the times", the fact is, it ain't over till its over....
