I'm Not Walking In This Pack Of Zombies. And Shane Sucks.
I'm not walking in this pack of zombies. And Shane sucks.
The Walking Dead has went from comic book sensation to a televised wonder for the ages. Ask a co-worker, a friend or any body you're having a conversation with (or a random stranger that you've grabbed by the shirt collar) and you ask them on whether they've heard of The Walking Dead, odds are they've watched the show. A higher chance is that they've read the comics and have watched the show. From my knowledge, I know people who have watched the show and absolutely love it. Then I know the ones who have read the comics and watched the show, but hate it's rotten guts.
I fall in the latter. Sadly.
I say sadly because it's complicated to explain about being a fan of the comic and seeing one of my favorite comic series being it put on television, expanded upon and seeing some characters act differently then they had in the comics.
I get a funny feeling see Shane still alive in the second season. I get a funny feeling over how the show is making him a character that people will obviously hate because I doubt that viewers actually like him. It could be all a way to have the viewers keep watching and waiting until this moment:
Where he is killed by Carl (Rick's son). Now to be honest, this should have happened in the first season (if I were to go by the comics as seasons). Now much to my distaste for the show I will put it on as background noise so I can focus on something else, which doesn't help because I'm curious on how the series doing.
Now in the recent episode, some girl is suicidal and the women of the farm are trying to prevent her from offing herself. At this point in the comic, they were off the farm and nobody was trying to commit suicide. And at this point in the show I'm seeing how they're adding more humanity to the show and not sticking to the comic's script which would have had the characters pretty bland for a few episodes. A good tactic, but I'm still pussyfooting around the idea of buying into it.
It had me at the first season, which followed the comic for a while but then deviated into it's own thing. I enjoyed it, but I had hoped the second season would be more like the comic, which it was...for a few episodes. Nice tactic but I do want to see Rick return to Shane's grave, if Shane ever receives that bullet into the neck this season. To be honest, The Walking Dead has become a hit television show, but in another sense it's become my generation's soap opera in a strange twist.

Kony Karnage!
A week ago I was informed of a video about a man called Joseph Kony, a Ugandan warlord who had abducted children and made a massive army out of them. Brainwashing them to be soldiers. Horrible shit.
After being told about the video from a good friend of mine I thought little of it. Even though she called him "black Hitler", that sort of caught mein attention.
Literally after an hour she told me about Kony I check out my Facebook and seen the documentary reposted for about a few hours. When I got home from a rehearsal for a play I got on to my friend's page and checked out the thirty minute video. After I was done watching it I went to the website and signed up. Now, I know what you may be thinking and no, I'm not fully into this whole Invisible Children thing. Kony has been in the news before.
I signed up to see if this whole thing will work and to see if I can get some stickers and posters that I can put all over my friend's car since he really hated the flood of Kony 2012 posts on Facebook. I will agree with him though, they did get annoying, but I couldn't care much about it since there were some funny posts and of course, funny internet memes:
I found this to be somewhat funny....
Yes, I guess you could. Needs to be an awfully big pub...
That's... wow...actually kinda hidious...clever but wow..
Then there's the My Little Kony thing but I could give two shits about that. This whole thing is a mess of a news story. Kony has been doing this whole child army business for years but now, finally people notice and go after him. What does he do? Kony hears about the U.S. becoming involved (some how) and changes tactics and goes into Osama-style hiding.
Before I go, here's a question. When he's killed and all the children are returned home. They are brainwashed to be soldiers, to kill. Even some are brainwashed into be sex slaves. How will they fit in when the return? Will there be help for them?
My dreams have come true!
Here is the first trial of Bisquick’s new enrichment! This is the Wurm Ball. The general idea of enrichment is to make Bisquick’s life as interesting and fun as possible, and that includes new ways of offering him food! This is a slightly modified ping pong ball which I then stuffed with red wigglers (his favorite). So instead of just eating the worms as I toss them in he can engage his brain in how to get the worms out of the ball. I started off with a few big holes as you can see, and it was unsurprisingly very easy for him to figure out the general gist of it. This was his first interaction with it, so it’s really neat to see him investigate the ball in the beginning. Trail II will use a pingpong with more worms and smaller holes, that is if I can get the worms into smaller holes. I do apologize for the shaky camera, I’m not 100% used to using my DSLR for video applications.
For those of you who have not yet met Bisquick he is a species of freshwater stingray (Potamotrygon motoro). Although he is currently small and cute this species (as well as many others) grow to incredibly large sizes; this combined with the fact that they are venomous means they are not for inexperienced keepers. I strongly encourage the average person to merely visit the stingrays at their local aquarium rather than going out and purchasing one.
This week sucked ass. Fuck it all, I'm outta here.
Can not tell where my head is now. It's blank, crystal clear and still active. Would this be one of those "moments of clarity" some people seem to have? Beats the fuck out of me.
I catch myself sometimes stare off into the blurred world as my head seems to float off somewhere. Could be a total zen moment. Possibly it's my brain having a break from everything lately, just a small moment where time, space and assholes can't bother me and so I can start sorting out things on it's own. Yeah, could be that.
At a red light tonight, I found myself staring into the lights of cars in front of me. It was like the world was frozen, slowing down and I could feel a certain stillness to my body.
Just chilling there, heart beat slowed down, empty minded and off to another layer of the atmosphere or even the great unknown of space. Just drifting in an ocean of nothing, as the ripples lap over me. I'm not fearing the deepness of where ever my mind is. Though I should question where my mind is sometimes..
Then the light turned green and my body pushed down lightly on the gas pedal and I was off to home. I was in autopilot mode.
I'm not confused by any of this. Just mere parts of silence and peace in my life that happen at times I least expect them to. In fact, great moments tend to happen randomly and die out quickly for me. How I grasped onto that idea is neat, but it's just a fact of my life. When it happens to you a lot, you tend to learn from history. Wise up to what life throws at you.
Though some times, I wish I could have something good to last me a little longer. Life goes on whether I know where my mind is or not.
