Are the Mayans Right?

[0rshippraiseandw]

Look the world is going to end and what the bible says is that some people are going to go to hell and heaven

[tophernates]

woah that last poem *mind waves goodbye as it flies away but taunts me with mexican food it picks up before it goes*

[TheGidneybean]

LEGEND!

[THEwilliamcheek]

You are my favorite robot woman. Or munchkin. Can't decide ;)

[billtvmacon]

@THEwilliamcheek If Google was bought by Fox News. lol

[TheNevs89]

Bill, say what you like, but I went to the DMV the other day and it was an almost pleasant experience. The world is definitely ending.

[TheWoodcreekFaction]

If the Mayans are right, nothing else matters.

[martianwho]

@AlexanderAndTheGreat I totally agree. I've been following @billtvmacon for a long time now and I always expect to view his videos and see a billion of hits.

[AlexanderAndTheGreat]

I'm a pretty new subscriber but I cant work out why you don't get more views Bill. This vid was great.

[billtvmacon]

@AlexanderAndTheGreat You are very kind. I truly appreciate your saying that. But, I've been told the problem is I'm old and my videos are difficult to follow to be mainstream. I feel very lucky to have the viewers I do. It's more than I ever thought it would be.

[ForeverJakeC]

"Wake up Bruce Wills Theres a Plannet to Save!" Love the video bill!

Jake :)

[billtvmacon]

@ForeverJakeC That's who we should call, right? I saw the movie RED the other night on a free Showtime weekend. He was in it. Fun stuff!

[ForeverJakeC]

@billtvmacon ok cool, I might have to watch this Film just for the LOL moments! xD

[talfacprez]

I LOVED Mark Heard's music. Most people don't realize how many CCM albums Mark engineered not counting all the other projects he was involved in. We lost a legend when he passed away.

[billtvmacon]

@talfacprez I very much agree. He was so talented and one of the most decent and funny people you'd ever want to meet.

[NightAire]

YOU KNEW MARK HEARD??? Holy crud... talk about a small world! ...Not that I "knew" him, but I was a big fan of his "Ideola" project. We lost him far, far too early, no question... You're right on track... it might not be "the" end of the world, but it could be "our" end of the world.

[billtvmacon]

@NightAire We grew up together. A great guy and really talented. We sang in choir together and you can't get very creative. lol But, when he started playing his own stuff it was amazing. I think the first original song I ever recorded for him was called "Dinner At Grandma's." This makes my day to know how many people loved him and appreciated his amazing talent.

[yt3141]

And to paraphrase the cartoon going around . . .

Mayan calendar stone carver: "I'm running out of space--there's only enough room to go to 2012."

Companion: "Boy, that'll really freak people out someday . . ."

[billtvmacon]

@yt3141 LOL! The cartoon I saw read, "I ran out of space on the rock."

[defense360]

I've always thought about the time zone issue! Which part of the world will end first, exactly? :)

Your stories about Mark were touching. I'm a new subscriber and it is really clear you love what you do on youtube.

[billtvmacon]

@defense360 Thank you very much. I love making videos but the community is what means the most to me. You might enjoy what we do on BillTvMacon2 these days. It's more talk about YouTube and how we fit into what its become.

[defense360]

@billtvmacon Interesting! I will definitely check it out.

[Nightyyou]

That story about Mark made me sad :-(

But it´s a great thing you keep and value his memory :-)

[zottepark]

This vlog is too wonderful for words. I'm sorry you lost a great friend, Bill. I had just turned 12 years old when he passed away.

I'm reminded of that song by The Beatles 'In My Life'.

[billtvmacon]

@zottepark That is a great song and very appropriate. Thank you for watching and being such a great part of YouTube.

[NaturalTwentyFilms]

The Mayans were famous practical jokers and this is their masterpiece. Somewhere, on a planet inhabited by the aliens who built their pyramids, the Mayans are having a serious belly laugh - and playing "Pin the Tail on the Nostradamus Until He Screams For His Mother".

[billtvmacon]

@NaturalTwentyFilms You have to admit this is so much better than that old "pull my finger" routine.

[OnlyWorksBackwards]

Disagreeing with Charlie gets your account deleted? No way! Science isn't fun!

See, my account is

[billtvmacon]

@OnlyWorksBackwards ROTFL!

[Maddog53]

In Canada we only have gravity for 6 of the 7 days of the week. So, it won't be as big of a challenge for us.

[billtvmacon]

@Maddog53 If I had to pick a day to float that would be Saturday. That would make it easier to clean the roof.

[Screennametaken]

ahhh i best tell all millionares ill hold onto theyre money for safe keeping till after "the end of the world" nothing will happen im not worrying

[billtvmacon]

@Screennametaken I'm not a millionaire..lol...spell check just corrected my spelling of the word. That fact proves the point I'm not in that camp.

[ks4isu]

Thank you for adding Mark's lyrics at the end; they were very abt. Oh, and I think you should add the Psychic Octopus to your list of Mayans, Nostradamus and other soothsayers...

[billtvmacon]

@ks4isu Thank you for watching!

[TheL1ttleGuy]

Technically, the Mayans could be right. However, the thousands who have predicted out demise before now have been wrong, and nobody will even get to brag about it if they're right, no it's hardly an issue! On the plus side, people are actually talking about an interesting civilisation, shame that'll die down in 2013!

[billtvmacon]

@TheL1ttleGuy That's an excellent point. I can hear that first Mayan tribe meeting. "What can we do where we can screw with their heads and have them talking about us years from now?"

[ThatDyslexicGuy]

No one ever thinks about time zones. :P Xx

[billtvmacon]

@ThatDyslexicGuy I know, right! I think about them all the time and get them wrong a majority of the time.

[themissingn]

I've never heard of Mark.

...Sorry, I had to.

[Ape65]

I guess the Mayans will have to come out with a new calender.

If you like Bluegrass, check out Molly Tuttle. Just discovered her recently, she's brilliant.

[billtvmacon]

@Ape65 Thank you for the recommendation. I'll check her out.

[realspacemodels]

The tabloid press in the US used to have a tradition of having psychics make predictions for the coming year. Not that they EVER did a year in review to see how last year's predictions went. All that ended in 2001 when EVERY psychic in the world FAILED to predict 9/11. I hold the Mayans to the same standard. What is their track record in the run-up to 12/21/12?

[billtvmacon]

@realspacemodels I wish there were a way to mark some comments as "brilliant." I like the way you think.

[DTGtaihojutsu]

Great video Bill , some humour and you also proved a point with the death of your dear friend. A very nice touch posting the lyrics to the song at the end may your friend rest in peace. Sorry for your loss. Thumbs up for the video.

[billtvmacon]

@DTGtaihojutsu Thank you for watching, viewing, participating and overall helping make the channel great.

[JamesDoesVlogsYeah]

@billtvmacon don't worry I'm happy all the same :D

[stufish4040]

I couldn't pay attention to charliissocoollike's video. There was so much self-conscious 'arm waving' - that he looked like a windmill. Do all 'celebrities' eventually become nothing more than parodies of themselves? If they've got a hefty mortgage to pay . . you BET they do =p lol

Happy Newt Year !

[JamesDoesVlogsYeah]

Bill! Thanks for the shoutout :D Means a lot, considering I didn't even ask :P

[billtvmacon]

@JamesDoesVlogsYeah LOL You're welcome and I get to make the selection of who gets shouted. The sad thing is shoutouts on my videos rarely lead to more subs for the folks listed. So, sorry about that.

[anamewillcomelater]

Excellent video :) I loved how you put "History Channel" in quotes :P I myself did a video about Ancient Aliens because the show angers me so much! Keep up the great work!

[billtvmacon]

@anamewillcomelater I know! I keep thinking that if they did all that crap back then where are they NOW? lol And if that one guy that keeps telling me everything came from aliens from outer space...why can't he find a comb?

[anamewillcomelater]

@billtvmacon Exactly! It actually saddens me how people have such little faith in humanity that they can't comprehend that we can design and create amazing things. And the Mayan thing is just down right ridiculous. There should be a campaign for the name change of "History" to "Speculation".

[billtvmacon]

@donalwatzon Thank you. That's very kind of you to say, but please don't feel badly. Mark left a legacy of great music. His last album was release in 2004, I think. Speaking of music, you have some MAJOR fiddle skillz! Nicely done!

[najahe123]

The dinosaurs thought that the world would end 65 milion years ago. When that didn't happen, they all commited suicide.

[billtvmacon]

@najahe123 Many felt the same way about the TV show "LOST" going off the air.

[meowitslucy]

Thanks for the shoutout! Nice but slightly confusing video (:

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

Personally, I think everyone needs to prepare for a zombie apocalypse anyway.

Kinda like a fire drill.

[code187copkilla]

if there so smart how come they didnt for-see (i believe it was the Spaniards) invading and nearly wiping them out

[billtvmacon]

@code187copkilla They were so busy looking up they forgot to look down at the sea. lol

[Virini]

Well, the timezone issue shoule be fairly clear. Whatever timezone central America is in, cause that's where the Mayans lived (or possibly Brazil. I forget)

[billtvmacon]

@Virini Wouldn't it be great if all that happens is the Mayan rock calendar gets destroyed. LOL

[crimsong19]

Aww, rest peacefully, Mark!

That had better not be the last thing I hear before the world ends! XD

Dumbstar returns!

- Jason

[billtvmacon]

@crimsong19 I wonder how many people will get Rupert MurROCK and Rocks News? lol

[felixvelariusbos]

I love watching your videos because it's like watching something I would make if I ever got into vlogging (as in, more than one or two thought processes going on). Only better.

You make my little ADHD head feel happy. =D

[billtvmacon]

@felixvelariusbos LOL I think that's probably the best explanation I've heard for my videos.

[ThePauleman2]

I have two Mark Heard albums - "Ashes And Light" and "Stop The Dominoes"

I never trust a calendar that doesn't have a pin-up girl..... (do they still make those?)

[billtvmacon]

@ThePauleman2 It's so much fun to hear how he progressed. That raw talent was always there.

[RJmakesvids]

Your videos are the best Bill :L

[billtvmacon]

@RJmakesvids Thank you very much. That's kind of you to say.

[l0gically]

LOL @ the idea of a Dick Clark countdown. I also liked reference to "something to worry about when our own congress and senate aren't in session." Great video - at least we can die laughing!

[billtvmacon]

@l0gically Good point. There are worse ways to go.

[gleaming999]

Be sure you are wearing clean underpants. you don't want to have an accident.

[billtvmacon]

@gleaming999 My biggest fear in life.

[FenderGibsonWashburn]

To answer your question. Yes the Mayans were right. The world is NOT going to end in 2012.

[Shaggy72]

Funny & touching vid, Bill.

IMNSHO, teh absolute WORST case scenario, is a massive SOLAR FLAREW w/ an EMP that KNOCKS OUT civilian electronics. This'll take aboot 3 or so months to repair (most military & government thingys are protected from this stuff)/ But THAT'S IT.

Alas, poor ole Los Angeles will tear itself apart as they RIOT for ANY reason: disagree w/ a trial verdict, win a sports finals,... shoot, no electricity there WILL be the same as the end of the world.

I'm not sweating it.

[billtvmacon]

@Shaggy72 I guess as long as I have dial up I'll be OK. I wonder if this has all been planned by the Post Office?

[46spoons]

you were a pleasant breeze? let me remind you of that cover of forever yours xD

[billtvmacon]

@46spoons There's so much "hot air" in my house the heating bills are very low. lol Thank you!
