Zombie Apocalypse

So shiny *U*. Artist: 108

Hi guys, I'm going to cut the corners again. No double post today. Here's my music intro.......Now..?

Today's song is... Yes, back to jazz.

Someone needs to tell me to stop sharing the same stuff. Oh well, it's a good song so it's fine :). The artist is SOIL & "PIMP" Sessions again. The song is called "MY FOOLISH HEART ~crazy in mind~" I think there's a version called "~crazy on earth~" with Shiina Ringo in it. Yup. Youtube link goes here. Anyways, good stuff. Jazz group. Click the "again" and I probably talk about them more. DO IT.


Today's topic was selected by Dapner since writing an interesting post everyday isn't as easy as you think. And also because I'm not creative enough to conjure up my own today. Today's topic. Something popular in music, films, books, and in general pop culture. Children to adults know what they are and everyone has their own explanation for it. They're dead..but they're alive lol. That's right-- ZOMBIES.
I actually had to look this up before I could bring my own opinions into it. But wiki basically says that zombies are reanimated corpses that are being controlled usually by magic. Also that zombies have more recently been explained with a pandemic. I don't want to bore you guys with the whole history of zombies so I'll start where it became famous in the late 60's with George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Certainly you have heard this title, no?

(Top left to right: Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (music video), Left 4 Dead (videogame), Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (novel), Highschool of the Dead (comic book), Night of the Living Dead (film).)


There you have it. My 5 examples of zombies and their influence in pop culture. These look familiar, eh? I guess zombies are something more common in life than we think :).
Now here's my take on zombies that has been wonderfully demonstrated in the popular game in the series, Resident Evil 4 (film link goes here). In the game, the people turn into zombies because they have PARASITES. This is logical and the explanation I would usually give about zombies. There are parasites that turn people into zombie-like.. things. However, with some googling I found a cool article about our very own interesting parasite! (There are no pictures, but it relates to real life, so if you're scared of parasites and dead rats, think twice about ..reading..I guess.) So we're not going to have a zombie apocalypse yet. There are actually many theories that can explain how zombie apocalypses would be logical. It'd actually done here. I really recommend you to read it..Might be a little frightening, but think about the topic for god sakes, how CAN'T it be lol. I love lists and this is a great one. Actually that most of them relate to diseases humans could get that lead them to zombie-like behavior (mad cow disease) and other scientific researches done with humans AND TECHNOLOGY (last one is fuckin' creepy). There really is no limit, eh?
Although the chances of a zombie apocalypse may not be close to winning a lottery ticket .. I actually don't know. Either way you'll get up and start screaming :).
I hope all of you guys have a great night and ponder about my discussion. Please remember that I am probably more scared of zombies than you. So don't think that you're so special >:( haha.

Goodnight world!~
