walking dead


This show is almost impossible not to watch.  Every Sunday night, my brothers, sister and myself (Clayton 15, Damon 12, Devyn 12) curl up around the wood stove in the living room fighting for the best possible spot in front of the television.

It's gruesome, nauseating, and disgustingly addicting.  For those of you who don't watch it--it's about a zombie apocalypse, and you follow a group of people trying to fight (literally) their ways to stay alive.  These zombies are very ugly and extremely gory (so if you get squeamish easily, you probably wouldn't last long) its creepy and realistic (sort of anyway) and almost exactly what you would imagine a zombie take-over would be.  I stayed up almost 2 days catching up on the seasons, (seasons 1-2 are on Netflix for those of you interested) and we are currently on season 3 and I cannot stop watching.  It's totally disgusting, but I absolutely love it. I now have purchased the book "The Zombie Survival Guide" which is hilarious and ridiculously accurate of how I would do things if anything of this sort were to happen. I highly suggest buying this guide because well, if you haven't got your ticket to the Bavarian mother ship, or you managed to survive the Rapture...you better prepare your sorry asses for something major come December 21st 2012 (you don't have very long and I can assure you I will survive whatever flesh eating walker infested circumstance that may come).

I know my father wouldn't last a minute if a crowd of walkers were coming at him, not after his admittance to how he completely froze as a giant shadowy figure swam by him while scuba diving in Hawaii-he declared he almost got "eaten alive" by a shark (though it really ended up being a sea turtle) so long story short, Dad survived that one. I'm not so sure he would survive if he froze while a pack of walkers were lurking towards him.  I suppose I could lend him my survival guide, but he better learn to feel the love. Otherwise he is perfect walker bait (walker=zombie).

In short, it's a fun show to kind of remind you that life isn't as horrible as some may think.  Hey, we could be living in a zombie infested world just trying to stay alive.  It's not that bad, right?
