This is a common misconception. The Mayans calender ending, simply means the ending of an age.
Shit is going to change, probably increasing overall Earth lameness. Truth can be boring, I know.

Quote from: Wikipedia
"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. in Crystal River, Florida. "To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting", she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."
