Okay, I'm a procrastinator. I have had two weeks to write another blog post, and I wait until 11 o'clock the night before school starts up again to do it. I blame it on my need to have something worthwhile to say, and in my small world of just me, my husband and our two dogs, I find it hard to come up with something.
We live a very quiet life. We're not social people by nature, preferring to stay home and watch The Walking Dead on Netflix rather than have friends over. So I find myself struggling to find a topic, and I procrastinate and feel the pressure and guilty until I finally write. My intentions were good. I was going to write early in the week, but perfectionism bites me in the ass every time and here I am wishing I had a better topic. But I guess I have to start somewhere.
Since zombies seems to be a current theme on this blog I will add my two cents. I had never seen a zombie movie until I met my husband three years ago. They were gross to me, not scary, just gross. So he made me watch Dead Alive by Peter Jackson (which I hated and thought was stupid); we also watched 28 Days, which I found terrifying. Those zombies were mean, flesh-eating monsters.
Suddenly zombie movies weren't stupid, they were entertaining. I like a good thrill and these provided it. And the humor of Woody Harrelson's character looking for a Twinkie in Zombieland was just fun to watch. A good zombie comedy is great as well.
Over fall break I rewatchedThe Walking Dead TV series to gear up for its third season, and I have to say, I love the show. To think about what we would do if a zombie apocalypse actually happened is great fodder for my over-schooled brain.
Here's what I think would happen: since our druggie neighbor is always cracked out, he would get bitten first and probably try to eat our dogs. David, my husband, would have to shoot him and we'd try to survive in our house for a while. He'd get antsy for cigarettes and leave to go get some and not come back. I'd panic, go look for him, with our dogs of course because I couldn't leave them, and I'd get bitten and turn into a zombie, probably while trying to protect the dogs. David would stroll up smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer and have to shoot me. I bet he'd survive the whole damn thing.
hahahahahahahaha this was a fun read :))))
ReplyDeleteLOL! I always wondered what my dogs would do in a zombie attack. I'm thinking my boxer is done for in a zombie apocalypse world. He hid behind me when we found a snake in the yard. The 10lb terrier wouldn't wait to be bitten. He'd be infected by taking pieces out of every zombie that came after him. And then he'd bury them in the backyard.
ReplyDeleteHaha I love this. I would also likely do something stupid and end up being infected. My brother has already told me several times he wouldn't hesitate to shoot me in the head.
ReplyDeleteYeah my husband said he'd shoot me if I got infected. :) And my boxer and miniature pinscher have the same personalities as your dogs. My boxer would either cower or lick the zombies on the face. Haha! Maybe we could all band together and stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love everyone's comments. You all are really thinking deeply about this crap. Let me do the same..
ReplyDeleteWell I don't have a boxer or a mini version of a doberman but I do have a pug; a nasally, snotty, mouth-breathy little black pug. She is a little jewel though. Thats probably why we named her Ruby. If she came across a zombie she'd probably take a big shit in the house again and start barking annoyingly keeping her distance. She'd wake up all my neighbors and they'd come knocking on the door, "hey can you shut that dog up?" they'd say, and then I'd pull a sawed-off 12 gauge from the coat closet and blast the neighbor in the throat before blowing out the brains of the god damn zombie that was on my lawn. Then I'd pace over to the couch to finish the second season of the walking dead, but not before saying, "Good little watchdog," and give Ruby a bone.
Hahaha! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy survival plan for everything including zombies is to get into the mountains, or out to the desert- some place isolated. Oh, and I've heard a lot of people say they'll go to walmart to get food, guns, etc. While walmart does have everything, that's where everyone is going to go and it'll turn into an outbreak zone for sure.
ReplyDeleteYes Wal-Mart would definitely be a bad place to be. Did any of you know there's a Zombie Apocalypse store on the way to Vegas? How awesome is that?!
