Short description

Welcome to the parallel universe of 12-12-12. This not what actually happened during 2012. But what unfolds is not more implausible. Nor is it less implausible. It is reality with healthy doses of surreality and comedy, spawned by the tragic absurdity of our times. It is laugh-out-loud brain food for hungry minds.

Nor is it less implausible. It is reality with healthy doses of surreality and comedy, spawned by the tragic absurdity of our times. It is laugh-out-loud brain food for hungry minds.

2012 was the year America played a game of chicken with destiny itself.

Everyone like it or not was on board for the ride.

The pedal was to the metal.

People hung on for dear life and hoped for the best.

Everyone wanted to believe that those behind the wheel knew what they were doing.

But even the most foolhardy gamblers weren’t making bets.

They knew a single unwavering truth.

Destiny never blinks.

Twenty three year old Noah Tass, like most ordinary Americans, was trying in the midst of all of the chaos, corruption and incompetence, to just live life — have his little piece of the pie and a few laughs along the way.

He thought he had conquered the main obstacle to his happiness by escaping his home town in the hayseed heartland of America, the little blackhead on the face of America where he had grown up and spent most of his life.

Little did he know that taking this simple step would send him tumbling into the vortex of events unfolding in an America that was broken and sure to make things worse by trying to fix it.

Destiny never blinks.

But it does occasionally cut loose with a thunderous belly laugh.
