I'd Do Anything for Flesh, But I Won't Do That

Can I eat your brains tonight?

Kudos if you remember the flash cartoon where those lines came from, if you couldn't tell, they're zombie jokes. Ah yes zombies, the representation of a large, unfeeling, unthinking, mass of people. The opposite of humanity and living. "The Walking Dead" if you will (also the name of an awesome comic book for those of you interested, trust me, you won't be disappointed). Romero's metaphor for communism then consumerism, yes zombies certainly have a big place in our culture, especially now that Halloween is on its way. 

So my city is having its first ever zombie walk. I've always kind of wanted to do a zombie walk, ya know dressin up all makeup and dead and just shambling around public places. One itsy problem with this one though, its sponsored by a charity and its taking place alongside a music festival in our downtown area. Not that I hate music festivals or anything, trust me i love those, but there will also be vampires having a masquerade inside one of the big fancy buildings and of course, theyll be treating us zombies like second class citizens seeing as how we're not allowed in unless we're waiters. Although I do find that hilarious. 

Anywho....

I love em, played EVERY Resident Evil, read the books, endured the movies. Big fan of Romero's movies, or any zombie movie, even looked up some Voodoo for more crazy zombie connection. Check the Walking Dead comic for more zombie fun...or if youre willing to see what happens to your friendly neighborhood Spider Man when he gets infected, check out "Marvel Zombies".

Yeah zombies rule!!

...but part of me is afraid that they might go the way of "vampires" in Twilight.
"His body will decay, but his love never will" LOL

Peace!

  3. I got a chance to watch the premiere episode of The Walking Dead in advance. I'm not versed with the comic but it looks like it's worth keeping an eye on this season.
