it's the end of the world as we know it, and i feel fine

i had such a nice friday so far, getting off work early, relaxing by the pool with britt, and eating a snowball. now i'm at home relaxing with the parents, and we just watched a movie called "chaos", which was probably one of the stupidest movies ive ever seen. it's a movie about an experiment which shows what will happen when global warming occurs. they trapped 5 people in a steam room, turned the temperature up to 130 degrees, and watched what happened. two people murdered 2 others, one got a nail gun to the head by a stranger outside of the room, another committed suicide, and two survived. and in the end there is some twist about the guy that created the experiment is in a mental hospital, and the two that survived work in the mental hospital. i honestly still have no idea what the point was of that movie. if it was trying to scare people into being worried about the effects of global warming, it was unsuccessful. the inconvenient truth already did that to me. haha. i mean, i guess on a basic level, the movie made sense because it was showing how, in a time of chaos, different types of people will cope in different ways (by breaking under the pressure - hurting others or yourself to deal with the lack of control and reason, or not). i dont even know why i watch these end-of-the-world movies anymore because they just freak me out and leave me feeling helpless knowing that there isn't much that can be done to prevent any of it. the caps melt, sea levels rise, hello biggest wave ever OR gaseous build-up leads to such sweltering temperatures that your lungs melt and you suffocate. these are things that are out of my control, therefore, i dont feel the need to hear anything more about it. que sera, sera. if the world comes to an end, so it does, you cant fight fate. let it be.
