NO! I dont. Personally because someone told me that in the bible a verse states that no man will be able to predict when the world will end. Thats my opinion but we will see.

From http://listverse.com/bizarre/10-more-unsolved-mysteries/: "The ancient Maya civilization,from Central America, had a special calendar that was mind-blowingly accurate. And it predicted that the end of the human life cycle was on December 21st, 2012,the winter solstice. The Mayans were also good at math and astrology(they accurately predicted an eclipse that occurred hundred of years later). So people are guessing that they were right about the end of the world thing, too. Something else that has gotten scientists curious is that there are some major astronomical things happening in 2012. Apart from the occasional eclipse and comet, the entire solar system is supposed to pass through the center of our galaxy, something that happens only once every 26,000 years. And, there’s a risk of our planet’s poles switching. Sounds crazy, but scientists say this has already happened. Also, the Indian calendar, the Kali Yuga,ends at about the same time. Coincidence? I think not." After reading this, I admit that i was a little more convinced that something was going to happen in 2012 but the odds on it are extremely unlikely. There have been main failed apocalyptic predictions in the past (including those from the likes of Montanus and Joanna Southcott) which leave me a fair bit more skeptical. There is one other aspect in my life that makes me want this prediction to be completely untrue. My birthday is on the 22nd December!
