Thanks to the Mayan calendar and the Hollywood block buster 2012

Huh! Itz already 6th Jan, as usual this year too I am late to chart my plans and resolution for this year, with this laid back attitude I was wondering will I be able to follow my resolution at least this year but thanks to the Mayan calendar and the block buster Hollywood flick 2012 which depicts end of the world by 2012, well, I am not saying I am gonna believe this dooms day theory, however I wonder if I happen to believe this just for a while and just before chalking down the road map for 2011, I understand I can add immense value to these upcoming 365 days (6 are already gone :( ).
For a lazy loony like me this fake belief will certainly kick the ass.

So going ahead with this dooms day theory for this year, I am all up to cherish my dreams which are being fantasized from ages and have hardly put my efforts to cherish them.

So here I make up my mind to enjoy, accomplish, and most importantly live these 365(minus 6) days to the FULLEST.

I wish you too will say thanks to Mayans and add a zing to this year and also to the many more to come ;)

Have a rocking year :)
