I keep hearing all these jokes and comments about how the world didn’t end after all, like it was supposed to on December 21, 2012. But I beg to differ. The people of planet earth have shifted into an alternate parallel universe. So from now on, things are going to be very strange. This isn’t some hokey croakey theory of mine, either. I have actual proof to back me up as authentic, bonafide, scientific evidence.
On December 21, 2012, at 8:29 pm, my 13 year old son challenged me to a game of chess. This is normal, for him. I’m horrible at chess, and beating me at something boosts his self esteem. I had never won a game of chess, and can’t even beat the monkey on super simple easy level on the computer…until that night.
So there I was, getting beaten to death, when all of a sudden I noticed that the pieces on the board had been aligned in my favor. All I had to do was make one single move and make checkmate.
I couldn’t believe it. I won the very first chess game of my entire life. I was so excited I jumped ten feet and hit my head on the ceiling. My poor kid was so confused. He didn’t know how I had managed to beat him. Me! I actually won. You see, we have entered a parallel universe.
And then I walked outside and the sky looked strange.
You can’t see it in the picture, but there was this concave dimensional thingie between the cloud cover and the moon and it looked like I was standing inside a snow-globe. It looked as if the planet earth was traveling into hyper-drive through the time space continuum.
And then it snowed, in Texas, on Christmas Day, and I mean that rarely happens where I live. I think my dad might have personally created that winter storm with his mind, because he was totally freaking out and insisted that everyone stay at home that day. I think he made it snow so he would have an excuse not to go to the Christmas party at Dottie’s house. So that last part might not have been a parallel dimension thing but I did see on the news that teacher’s in Utah are going to all start bringing guns to school to protect their younglings. It’s like the wild west, not to mention …controversial… and very Twilight zone-esque.
A very odd photo. Moisture in the atmosphere indicating a front moving in. At least that’s how I can tell it’s going to rain in summer, before the clouds get anywhere near. In winter up here, you can tell by the color of the clouds if a snow event is about to occur. But that photo is odd. Must be why you won the chess game.
Congratulations!
Hi Ms. Jamcracker:
We had that moon halo in the Sonoran. T’was quite beautiful. Okay so, you touched on an issue that I’m quite familiar with. Utah. Curious little berg. Borg? Yeah, maybe that last one.
I’m born and raised in Utah. Don’t live there anymore. Which in crystal clear hindsight, that’s a good thing. Not living in Utah. Okay so, teachers in Utah have been packing heat in schools for years. That’s not even news. That’s a given. Utahns love their guns even more than Arizonans. We here in the Sonoran like to call Arizonans ‘zonies’ and they do take to it with relish. Sorry I digress.
Utahns simply don’t talk about Utah teachers packing heat. All the little mormon kiddies, and there are an inordinately large number of little mormon kiddies, feel safe and THAT is all that matters. Everybody that is anybody in Utah is packing heat. From Governor Gary to the Mormon Taliban in the Utah Legislature to the players and coaches of the Utah Jizz to the editors and writers of the Deseret Snooze to the poor little Tongan kiddies that live in the ‘westside’ ghetto. It’s Utah and Utah is the four-letter variant spelling for guns.
Oh and I forgot, I am NOT mormon. Oh hell no way in hell no.
I do love your artistry. You’re that good. World class and you should post over on RedBubble. Nag nag nag…
peace and out.
Yeeha!
Thanks for stoppin’ by Gatorhead for a look. That’s the way I find good sites like this one. With your name I couldn’t help checkin’ out your page and so far I like what I’ve seen. I’m not sure about the parallell universe thing though since I am still workin’ on the fact that I am a figment of my own imagination.
I’ve heard rumours that this could be true. Part of me is pulling for it-this shift that divides the world’s people into the “enlightened” and the “door knobs” (this is a loose translation of what I’ve read). The other part of me is worried that I’ll fall into the wrong category.
Absolutely loved it!!!!! I didn’t see the sky that night, and I actually was outside. But I guess I also had a sort of parallel world experience myself. I’m here in Miami, but I spent that entire afternoon on the 21st with two friends that I had met in Chile!!!! It was amazing and a bit surrealistic! I love you won that chess match, and I hope you’ll keep winning.
Gosh darn it to heck, you’re right! the world HAS become a peculiar place this last week – more peculiar than usual anyway
I’m so glad that it’s not just me that feels this way.
I think you are probably correct–we have entered a parallel universe BUT, in 2013, I entend to enjoy the ride. Hope you have a great New Year. I will be following. B.
Whenever I manage to squeak out a win in chess, I hit the ceiling too! It’s an exhilarating experience, especially if it only happens at the end of the world (or when it is shifting into another dimension).
I hope it’s not parallel
Again, you are correct. Amazing insight (and wonderful humor)
Hahaha! A perfect explanation coming from that sharp mind of yours that finally beat your son at a chess game.
Nice moon photo.
We had that moon last night (Missouri). Wish I could’ve gotten a picture of it – I tried. It was amazing. It looked like the circumference was expanding, but it appeared to get no closer to a nearby star that was on the exterior. So glad someone else saw this!
Your so freaking weird it’s cool. It snowed hard in Dallas also. I have lived here all my life and think that is the 3rd white Christmas I have seen, but who’s counting..
Very clever take on a celebrated issue. The great divide into parralel dimensions. I half believed this new age nonsense, only to find that my world got much closer on the 21st. Thank you for sharing the irony of the moment in your chess game win. Don’t be afraid to win again. My son kills me every time we play Connect Four!
Thanks for you like on my blog. You can read really fast.
you = krazy. but havin’ a good time, right?
I had a weird experience that night. I had used some pictures from flickr for my post, and credited them, then hours later I was paging through some XML tutorials and tech pages and found myself looking at the exact same name as the flickr photo I had used earlier. Doesn’t seem to signify anything specific, but it was one of those moments when the world briefly spins around.
Why haven’t I found your blog before? ………
I decided to pass this theory along to a French-Canadian blogger tonight. My world is very much the same, but feic it, I’m in a tiny, tiny town in the west of Ireland and unless all the Guinness turns to vinegar, we won’t notice much in the way of change.
Jamcracker! You just noticed the parallel universe? Where you been, child? These are crazy days. Happy New Year!
Great post Clotilda – I haven’t got all the evidence in but I have to say I’m leaning your way on this one – Happy 14th Baktun! Also thanks for checking out The Selfcleaning World–
JBW
hahahahah this sounds far more valid then any of the other theories about our doom and destruction. Congrats at your chess win. Tell your son to keep his head up. I am not the best at the game either.
Suggest if you turn the address to your page on your about page into a hyperlink that will help direct views to your page. Nice page by the way.
Oh CloTilda. you make me laugh……………………..
As always –your posts are great!
Okay. That explains this past week much better than what I’ve been able to come up with. Thanks!
I like
Welcome to the dawning of the age of Aquarius. (I cannot write that without singing in my head,
‘When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars!
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius! ‘
OK well, actually just the chorus.
Wether or not we are now entering the true age at the end of the eight year cusp and all that astrological stuff? The end of the Mayan calendar may, hopefully bring a true apocalypse.(An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apocálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning ‘un-covering’), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, hidden from humanity in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation, although this sense did not enter English until the 14th century.[1] In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden. In the Revelation of John (Greek Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου, Apocalypsis Ioannou), the last book of the New Testament, the revelation which John receives is that of the ultimate victory of good over evil and the end of the present age, and that is the primary meaning of the term, one that dates to 1175.[1] Today, it is commonly used in reference to any prophetic revelation or so-called End Time scenario, or to the end of the world in general.)
So here’s hoping for your alternate universe, true meaning and always more
