people, running

I am currently listening to the Silversun Pickups album, Swoon

and the Alabama Shakes album, Boys & Girls

If you don’t have these albums yet or haven’t listened to them, I definitely recommend them.  Good good music.

Make it happen.

Cannibals: Grab Your Boomstick: The Zombie Apocalypse May Actually Be Upon Us (via @Gawker)

I actually don’t really believe a zombie apocalypse is really upon us or would actually happen, but I’m fascinated by the thought.  I’m a big horror movie fan - slashers, zombies, viral epidemic, monsters, mythical creatures, psycho serial killer, apocolypse/survival situation, etc, etc. 

I was talking with my friend about horror films yesterday and he asked me why I was so fascinated with them.  I’m not a dark person, really.  I can handle blood, guts, and gore but it’s not my favorite thing in the world.  It’s pretty gross.  I enjoy a happy ending and most horror films lack that.  They really don’t add anything to the world, as the subject matter is usually everything that’s wrong with people and society.  And there’s always boobs, which I really don’t understand. 

So I thought about it for a sec - and this was my answer.  I love the survival aspect of any horror movie.  Everyone is fighting to survive.  They are thrown into a situation they never thought possibe; that they would ever be in.  They are faced with obstacles they never imagined.  Yet, they have to survive.  They have to choose to survive, to fight back.  And sticking together is so important.  companionship, community, having each other’s backs.  They have to really pull from within to find an inner strength they proabably thought they never had, to face the horror(s) in front of them.  They discover a new will to live.  there are true tests of character.  Especially in an apocolyse situation where society and government has fallen.  We as people are now in a world where basic human needs are more important than ever; where priorites are completely shifted.  Trust becomes a matter of life and death.  The normal rules don’t apply.  Dog eat dog takes on a whole new meaning.  I think in a situation like that people can become something they never would have, had everything stayed the same.  Like Shane in The Walking Dead.  He was this seemingly good guy: cop, best friend was his partner, would do anything for the people he loved.  But the zombie outbreak turned him into this person who he probably would have never become.  But it was inside him somewhere.  dormant, only awoken by a situation where EVERYTHING is turned upside down.  I just think that’s really interesting.  And maybe he would have had a zombie virus never happened - maybe something else not as extreme could have triggered it as well.  but I’m not so sure.

anyway - this is been a post on the impending (but not so much) zombie apocolypse.  just remember DOUBLE TAP.

i’m not saying it’s the start of the zombie apocolypse, but when a dude eats off another dudes face and doesn’t react to being shot… perhaps we should consider it.

perhaps…

Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are teaming up for a buddy cop comedy that Paul Feig will direct from a script penned by Katie Dippold (Parks and Recreation) and I am weeping at the possibilities.

Overflow coffee bar in the South Loop is screening the documentary Call + Response - a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to reveal that in 2009, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined

I hope to go but I may have another conflict that day.  I would highly recommend attending this.  Human trafficking is the world’s dirty secret that needs to be exposed.
