I have challenged myself to watch almost ever famous/well known zombie movie out (which I have completed). I couldn’t help but to consider the probability and survival rate of humanity and what I would do, if faced with this.
First off, there is the zombie. How does it become one? I have boiled it down to 3 types. 1. Radiation. These are the least of our worries because radiation can’t bring people back from the dead. 2. Magic. Probably less realistic but more of a challenge. Magic zombies are held together by some other force meaning destroying the brain (which is the solution in most cases) might not work. These zombies are most famous from the Evil Dead series, Dead Snow, and Call of duty: Nazi Zombies. The third and most realistic is the disease. Famous in most zombie movies (not as common in George A. Romero movies) but these I feel like would be the biggest threat to humanity. If the disease is saliva/blood born, then we have a standing chance. But if it is air born then we might fall quicker than most think. But what will be the REAL indicator of our survival rate will be the incubation period. A common scare with modern day diseases is how quickly someone will succumb to the symptoms of the disease and how soon they can pass it to others. If it takes around 2 hours or less to turn the person into a full blown zombie, than it is less likely to spread to other countries.
If a zombie virus does break out and you become a survivor, consider capturing a zombie and leave it in a closed space without food. if it ever starves to death and dies, there is hope for humanity.
If I was in a zombie apocalypse and I find myself to be a survivor, I would try and make it to a boat. For a while, a friend of mine tried to convince me that a mountain would be the safest place but then I showed him the show Walking Dead and he quickly realized a mountain is only safe for so long. A boat on the other hand is away from zombies. You have access to fish, and it is essential to have a water purifier on board as well. the two best places to be in a boat are either the ocean, or the Mississippi river. You can move from shore to shore, scavenging cities and towns looking for food/survivors.
When I’m bored I think about these kinds of things all the time. Whether it happens or not, I am fascinated by the idea of zombies. What do you think? Leave a comment telling me what you would do in a zombie apocalypse!

Friday night, my school was playing another school at a soccer game. I wasn’t sure how to get to the place they were playing so I had my Dad drive with me to the place and he left. After the game (which we sadly lost) my friends and I were going to meet at an ice skating rink in the city. I got in my car and drove around the tiny town were the game was for a while trying to figure out how to get back on the highway. Eventually I found it but I was going the wrong way and didn’t realize it until I was far down the road. I pulled off at the nearest exit and got back on the highway going the right way this time! I drove to the down-town area where the ice rink was but I had never really payed attention to were it was so I spent a half hour driving around trying to find it. I would ask for directions but it was 9 o’clockish and most of the people I passed looked pretty sketchy. Eventually I found it! I skated for a while then headed home. On my way home I noticed the car was low on gas. I thought I could make it home with the amount of gas I had (mostly because I was broke). On the highway my car started to sputter and the power-steering stopped working and I realized I was completely out of gas. I coasted off the highway into an intersection in a bad part of town. I called my parents and then sat for a while. Several people came by to see if I was ok. One guy (who was trust worthy looking) helped me push my car out of the intersection and into a parking lot where he told me I should turn off my lights, lock my door, and tuck my head down for safety sake. I did so and I sat for around an hour. As I sat, 2 white unmarked rusty delivery trucks sped into a warehouse across the street from me. Two guys walked out and pulled the door shut behind the trucks. I really started to question my safety seeing is I was wearing a Ralph Lauren Polo jacket and I was mostly defenseless in the ghetto at 12 o’clock at night. A guy in a beat up minivan labeled “Mick’s auto repair” drove up to me and said he heard that some kid had a broken down car and if I needed any help. I said no but I really started getting nervous because I was afraid that word had got out that I was stranded there. My parents also had a hard time finding me but after 20 minutes on the phone with them they pulled up and gave me gas and we drove out of there as fast as we could. Moral of the story MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GAS!

The other night, my friend and I went to the movies. I was hoping to see the new Harry Potter but it wasn’t playing so instead we watched Skyline. It was heavily endorsed by youtube and so I thought it might be ok. I know I can be a movie snob but this was a horrible movie. The plot never really picked up and it never really ended. It was stupid! SPOILER! They actually suck the brains out of people… what is this the 50’s? are they really trying to market that stuff on us again? [major spoiler] at the end, the main characters get abducted which if they left it at that and ended the movie, it would be dissent. But they had to keep it going. While in the space ship, the main character’s brain gets planted in an alien body and saves his girlfriend from getting her brain sucked out. That all happens in like 3 minutes at the very end. People in the theater were laughing at how bad it was. The director was trying so hard to give it a happy ending that it just ruined it. the movie starts off part way through then goes to a flashback then back to where it left off but it was just unnecessary. I guess they did that to make people not want to leave the first few minutes. I must say, the graphics and animation was awesome but if that was all I liked in movies I would probably love Avatar to! I give it a 2/5 rating. It’s really not worth the money but if Harry Potter isn’t playing, meh… why not go see it!

You should know by now that my favorite holiday is Halloween. More than Christmas. Too many though, Halloween is pointless because they don't think it celebrates anything. But it does (even though it is not important). It is believed to have been created from Celtic origin. The Celtics held their new year November 1st, marking the end of the summer and warmth and the start of the cold, harsh winter. They also celebrated the night before as being the start of many deaths to come (due to the freezing temperatures and the lack of agriculture) but it was more celebrated that the ghosts of their ancestors visited for the night (much like Hispanic Day of the dead). This celebration was called Samhain. Later brought to the US by immigrants, it was adapted into what is our modern day Halloween. But that is where the date comes from. Many other traditions like trick-or-treating or carving jack o' Lanterns are from other culture’s traditions that were blended together into the same date.
For me, Halloween as almost always been my favorite holiday (it was occasionally tied with Christmas when I was younger). I love the fact that in society today, we can throw grotesque mutilated decaying rubber humans around are yard and not be criticized. I also love just running around at night with friends dressed like freaks. Or how every channel on TV is playing horror movies. One thing that I don't like about Halloween are the haunted houses! I will never go in one of those things. Were I live, the companies will go all out and hire midget-amputees to dress crawl around the floor and what not. We have several of the nation's scariest haunted houses, which really doesn't make me want to go even more. I don't mind most scary movies because I know they are just movies, but when I see these things actually walking around in real life, I lose it! If I was to go through one of those, I would want to be sedated and wheeled through on a hospital bed! If I was to go through one of those consciously, I would need a light saber and a mini gun! (however I would settle for a machete and a paintball gun)Other than that, Halloween is awesome and I can't wait this year!

I know I have already blogged about Pokémon once already but that was just pointing out the weird ones. Who ever came up with the idea of Pokémon was a genius and now a billionaire. It gave one of the most gullible age groups the need to buy things that cost less than a penny to make (Pokémon cards) but that’s not what this blog is about. This blog is more of a story. It starts out the other day in Spanish class. That day we had a quiz over some Spanish vocabulary. After we were finished with the quiz, our teacher asked us to turn our papers over and draw your favorite toy (to prevent kids from cheating and looking at other people's papers). I drew what I was addicted like a drug to for around 6 or 7 years of my life, Legos. So everyone was finished with the quiz and to waste class time, the teacher just instructed us to keep drawing. I looked over and the kid next to me had drawn practically a mural about a Pokémon battle. The teacher picked it up and stared at it for a second and said "what’s the deal with these [adult pronunciation] poke-EE-mans? Is there like just one?” every one in the class started to bust out laughing. How sad would that be if there was only one Pokémon? The video game would just like...end when professor oak hands you your first Pokémon. But after we calmed down we tried to explain to him what it was and we all started to realize how violent and horrible the concept was! So you walk around random towns and kidnap wild animals and force them to fight each other until one of them faints. After that you put them back into a ridiculously small container until you want it to fight next. Seriously, it’s pretty messed up when you think about it! I bet peta definitely had something to say about Pokémon but who cares about peta. ANYWAY, I started thinking about how much these people in Japan are making off us! Their motto is false and miss leading "gotta catch 'em all". "Catching" all of them is impossible when they keep making more and more Pokémon! When I was into Pokémon, I knew about the first 150 or so. Pretty much if it was on any Nintendo 64 game I knew about it. But now there are sooo many! It’s crazy. The trend has definitely died out a little bit but the younger generations still have an interest in it. I just am amazed I never realized how bad of an influence the whole idea was. but since they are fictional characters I don't think it’s that bad and but I'm not one of those people who think banning stuff like this and video games is a good thing.
As a kid, I never really got really into the Pokémon thing. As I said earlier, I was more into Legos for most of my life. My brother was the Pokémon fan and I just went with it. I would try to play along but I never understood the rules of the actual card game but I liked the video games. Did you ever go through a Pokémon faze? Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion on this!

If you have not seen the movie Fight Club this won’t make any sense to you. But if you have, and you have also seen Ferris Bueller’s day off, then prepare to have your mind blown. I read a theory online about the movie Ferris Bueller’s day off and how Ferris does not exist at all. He is a figment of his friend Cameron’s imagination. He is sick and is boring, as in Fight Club, the main character is lonely and boring. Both encounter a crazy edgy character who they are best friends with. One thing that both movies have in common is the non existing guy talks directly to the camera. This is a big rule broken in film making but it is a way of showing how this character is above and beyond the movie and thinks for themselves. Both explicitly convey messages directed to the audience at various periods of the movies and both movies have a theme of “letting go” and “having fun”.
As my friend described, both come to grips with things when they encounter a car crash. When the main character in Fight Club gets into a car accident (caused by Tyler Durden because he said he was too tense), Tyler disappears until the main character gets a grip on reality. Same happens to Cameron. Ferris says that Cameron is so tense that “if you stuck a lump of coal up his @$$, you would have a diamond in a few hours”. Ferris yells at Cameron to just relax but then Cameron accidentally kicks the car out the window. He has a moment where he is so afraid of his Dad, he doesn’t even feel threatened anymore and he gets a grip on reality and realizes how much fun the day was.
In both accounts, a car is involved; but more importantly, the character goes through a life changing moment and really sees the world the way it is. There is no way the director could have planned this in Ferris Bueller’s day off but it is fun to analyze movies to make better sense of them and ultimately, make the movie better. I love hearing about these things. For example, in the James Bond series, there are many different actors who tend to give James Bond a different attitude/personality. But a way around that is to imagine that “James Bond” is a code name. each agent is a different person, yet they play the role of an agent called James Bond. If you are interested on stuff like this, you can find more awesome movie facts on websites like cracked.com. I found the Fight Club Ferris Bueller info on this site here that my friend sent me. and you can also see a youtube video of the same thing here If you have an opinion, further analysis, or other random movie facts like this, feel free to leave a comment!

A weird statement but I hold it to be true. Tangible money does not exist. This is a concept I have been thinking about often. I think about weird stuff like this frequently and I realized it is good blog material so I will start blogging about some of these weird theories I have.
So as I was saying, tangible money does not exist. Money is only a concept. It’s funny how concepts are what build the human race rather than tangible things. This is one good thing that humans have evolved to, is that we all understand the belief in concepts. Religion is another example of a concept we base our existence off of but that’s not what this is about. Money is not real. Dollars and coins are real but only represent money (as stated on bills themselves). A dollar bill is a note that represents the concept of what we believe is worth "one dollar". Money isn't a naturally occurring quality to an environment; we have simply come up with the idea of currency and adapted it. As I said earlier, money is not the only concept we base our lives off of. Things like temperature and time are other concepts that don't exist fully but are concepts that we hold to be true and base our way of life off of. Or maybe I am just crazy and this just sounds stupid to you. Whatever your thoughts are, leave a comment if you want.

I saw inception a week ago. I normally wait a week before I blog about it so I give it time to soak in. I give Inception a 6 or a 7 out of 10. It was entertain but kind of stupid. People say that you have to see the movie several times to understand it but I feel like I understand it completely. so they go into a dream to rob some guy? wouldn't it be easier to just...rob him? at the end they have a bit of a plot twist which I really liked but I'm not going to say it because you need to see the movie. but it seemed like the intentionally tried to confuse you in obvious ways. they play the last scene first just so you start off clue-less. It made no sense where it was, and I think if they just left it at the end, the movie would still be confusing but not quite as noticeably confusing. Over all, I'm happy I saw it and I would encourage you to see it to! just make sure your wide awake and attentive when you watch it! or else you will be lost!

Prince of Persia the sands of time was an AWESOME game. when I heard they where making a movie of it, i had a tiny bit of hope for it, that is, until i saw that Disney was making it. i would have loved the movie if i was like 12. its a lot like pirates of the Caribbean (same director. I grew up LOVING those movies, until i recently watched them for the first time in like 3 years. i was trying to figure out why i loved those movies because they where horrible. they are really i guess just targeted more towards kids i guess. oh well.
there was still a lot of stuff that bothered me about prince of Persia though. for example: they all spoke English. obviously ancient Persians wouldn't have spoken English but nobody wants to read subtitles through the whole movie so that is ok, but they all had British accents. that was pretty stupid. then there was one character who I can't remember his name but I just called him crazy snake man. crazy snake man lived in a lair full of ninjas and snakes. he had bright blue eyes and wore only black which is weird enough, but what really bothered me was he kept coming back to life and they never explained why. oh well. all in all, it was a horrible movie but i would recommend it if you are under the age of 12-13ish. i would give it a 3 out of 10

I love movies. I am a movie junkie. This is part of the reason I make movies. I like 2 separate types of movies. Not necessarily genres but by the style of the plot. I love movies that start off kind of strange but then end in a huge plot twist. The kind of movie that you never see the end coming. Examples of these movies are: Fight Club, Moon, and Shutter Island. The other kind I like are movies that either have no plot or a really weak plot, but are entertaining none the less. These movies normally involve aliens, zombies, alien zombie hybrids and really anything else. Examples of these movies are: Aliens, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Night of the Living Dead, and Doom. Some of these movies get really bad reviews but I love them in a different way. It’s hard to explain, but it’s just entertaining. As far as genres go, its hard to say I have a favorite. I like some horror movies, some sci-fi, some action but overall, my favorite is definitely comedy. Horror is cool to but I just HATE jump out parts! I’m totally cool with people using rusty scissors to pry their fingernails off while wired to an electric chair, but what freaks me out is when its quiet then BLAH! Oh well! So here is my current top 10 favorite movie list in order:

For my english class, we had to write a love poem. I decided to write mine about Redbull...
My love for Redbull:
Aluminum cans scatter my floor
To some, it’s just trash, But to me it is more.
The bitter fluid gives me a start
I can feel the drive, in my heart.
I love Redbull and it loves me
White and blue are all I see.
this energy burst
will really quench my thirst
just one sip and it gives me wings
it truley is a drink for kings
I can put ‘em down like a trash-can
Over all I think I’m more than just a fan.
thos are my phat rhymes yo

As you can probably tell in many of my videos, I love Nintendo 64. When I was younger my brother bought one and it was the coolest thing ever to me. My favorite game was either Super Mario 64 or Banjo Tooie. But one day, the Gamecube came out. My brother bought it but he had to sell most of our 64 games. Since then I have been searching the internet to re-buy the games. Not necessarily the exact game cartridge we used but the same game. The problem is, I have to buy all the games online because most game stores don’t sell 64 games, so I am forced to use ebay.
The funny thing is I never really played the games. I only watched. My brother played all the games and I just sat there and watched. But occasionally I would play a little but when he bought the Gamecube, I took over the 64. I love it because I hate disks. Disks get scratched up and destroyed so easily, and they are easily lost. Cartridges are extremely durable but there are some bad things about them such as, they get dust in them, you can’t find the right game when they are stacked because they have no labels on the sides. But other than that I like em. I really don’t care that much about graphics to. When my friends are telling me “dude! This game is so much fun because the graphics are so good!”. I really don’t care about graphics. They make the game look cooler but its no reason to buy a game. If its fun, its fun. 64 doesn’t always have the best graphics but games like Legend of Zelda: ocarina of time, or Turok, or Donkey Kong are really fun and have a HUGE world to play in.
I really think Nintendo 64 is one of the best game systems. Sure Xbox 360 and PS3’s have wifi but Nintendo 64’s were the coolest system relative to their time. Right now I think PS3 is the best system relative to the current time but Nintendo 64 is always a classic.

To many, I may seem like I listen to only rock music which is far from true. I have an extremely wide range of music taste. On my i-pod you can find anything from Mozart to Suicide Silence or from Tech 9 to Glenn Miller! I have it all. I used to hate many bands/artists/styles of music, and I still do, but not as many as I used to. I try to play the music so much that I learn to like it! That is how I started liking heavy metal. The only style of music I am still trying hard to learn to like is country. You can see on my "about me" page some of the music I like but again there are so many artists, that I leave allot out because I forget to add them. For the most part my favorite genera is metal. To many it just sounds like screams and you might think "all it is is just loud banging and yelling stuff. Anyone can do that." well that is where you are wrong. I really like metal partly because I have the highest respect to how hard it is to perform a song! Sure screaming is easy when you feel like screaming but there are many different ways to and none of them are easy! allot of bands don't know these ways so they think when they scream, they just scream how they would if they got really scared and thus, their vocal chords are shredded and they can't talk for weeks. Metal is a very challenging thing to perform but if you don't like it I understand. If you think it is just mindless and talentless, I dare you to try and play a heavy metal song. And there is a genera of rock that many consider to be "Metal" such as: Avenged sevenfold, 3days Grace, Finger 11, disturbed to name a few. While these bands are definitely talented, I really don't think they are really metal bands but just rock bands. My brother is in a group that is not quite either. They are very heavy rock but also very light metal. There name is Raising Kane. Our family has always been a very music oriented family. In most households, the kids grow up on one artist/band. For many it might be the Beatles or possibly pink Floyed but for our house it has and always will be Michael Jackson (RIP)

While dogs are sometimes less sanitary, they are more fun! All cats pretty much have the same personality which is usualy "I don't want to be touched so I am going to hide in your basment". every dog is different! some are more hyper, some are more laid back but at least they actualy like affection. It's not that I dislike cats, I like em just fine, I just really prefure dogs. there are some kinds of cats I like and there are some dogs I don't like! Personaly I like cats that live on farms. they usualy act just like a dog! I really dislike small dogs. I love pugs but other than that, small dogs just don't really have a "dog" vibe. the only thing that kinda bugs me about larger dogs is when ever I see one, it is usualy a golden retriever! Golden retrivers are great dogs for familys and stuff but there are plenty of other kinds of dogs to choose from! when I get my own house, I'm gonna go with an uncommon kind of dog. I want to get like a pitbul or prefurably a dingo! that would be awesome!
(P.S. one account of a cat being a jerk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmV3mN-V3ic )

last night I went and saw shutter Island. the movie wasn't really that scary but the entire movie is just so thrilling and creepy. I enjoyed it because there were many parts in the movie that reminded me of other parts of other movies. there where scenes that reminded me of fight club, terminator 2 and several others. the movie is about a reporter sent to a mental hospital on an island for really crazy criminals. the whole movie just slowly spirals downward into insanity. It is really a very creepy and disturbing movie. at the end it has one of those plot twists and leaves you with 2 different scenarios that think are happening. they leave you to make the decision yourself and I can't decide which one is true. there are enough reasons to back up each possibility so you can tell that the director really thought of everything.
over all I really enjoyed it because leaving the theater it really makes you think and try to boil down the possibilities to decide which one was true. over all 5/5

This is my 3rd blog post about movies I saw in theaters but I'm not going to make a blog every time I see one. Only for the ones that stand out or I just feel like sharing my opinion on.
I saw Crazys about 2 weeks ago. It was really entertaining. It was hardly scary at all. If you don't know me personally then you probably don't know that I am a huge wuss when it comes to scary things. Movies, haunted houses, sadly even books. So I went into the theater really nervous that I wouldn't be sleeping for a week but also a little bit excited to be seeing a zombie movie. After it was over I was totally ok and happy I wasn’t really freaked out.
The movie follows the plot that most other zombie movies follow, how it happened. The movie wasn't that scary because most of it happened during the day time and a lot of things where pretty predictable. Its many antagonist(s) also follows almost all other zombie movies, Zombies, The Military, (and the most deadly of all) the other humans. The zombies are there because they just because they are and they are dangerous because they are trying to kill as many humans as possible. The military is there because they are trying to kill off all the zombies. They are a problem because they can easily misjudge a human for a zombie or they just don't know if the person is infected but hasn't turned into a zombie yet so they kill em anyway. And the most dangerous of all are the other humans. I'm not talking about the other people just trying to survive. In crazys the dangerous people are a group of rednecks who see the opportunity to just murder whoever they feel like, however they feel like. So in a full scale zombie invasion, the zombies are the least to worry about.
Over all I really enjoyed this movie because it had a lot of old zombie movie themes but it is set in modern times. A lot of modern zombie movies have lost a lot of the old themes but this one really pulls together a lot of old zombie movie ideas. Overall, 4/5
