When I wake up on May 22nd, I will begin the day like everyday. With the thought of how wonderful the world and its life we have been given. And that in an instant, it can be gone. It is why we should always treat each other and each day as it could be our last. Because one day, you will be right.
While May 21st may not be the end of days... here are some signs it is coming ;-
I got this in my inbox:

END OF THE WORLD NOTIFICATION SERVICE
*************************************************************
May 21st 2011.
This is a notification to inform you that the world will be ending shortly.
The world will be ending due the following reason: The Rapture.
This has been forecast by Harold Egbert Camping. Despite previously incorrectly
predicting the end of the world (September 1994), we at the End of the World
Notification Service believe his revised date should be taken very seriously.
We advise that you take the short time you have left on Earth to either repent,
spend time with your loved ones or join one of the many Rapture Parties taking
place.

And U.S. Centers for Disease Control Advises: Prepare for Zombie Apocalypse????
Sure this is funny... and in bad taste. But at the end an important message about being prepared for a mild emergency.
The following was originally posted on CDC Public Health Matters Blog
There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.
So what do you need to do before zombies…or hurricanes or pandemics for example, actually happen? First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house. This includes things like water, food, and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp (or in the event of a natural disaster, it will buy you some time until you are able to make your way to an evacuation shelter or utility lines are restored). On the CDC website are a few items you should include in your kit, for a full list visit the CDC Emergency page.
