Zombies are NOT Monsters?

_______________________________

Had my first zombie dream last night. I think its worth documenting.

The details are kinda vauge bcause to begin with but I remember it changing from something very serene into this horrible panic and need to run and hide.

There were 5 of us and we were in my house. The layout of my house is odd (weird stairs, you open your bedroom door and BOOM, steps!) and I told them to quickly follow me and hide with me in my room. They refused and rushed into an empty room.

This was odd to me, because my room had a bed and other materials in it, but the other room them ran into was barren but for a few empty boxes. I had to close the door though because, obviously, the zombies were comming so I did and I threw myself behind it.

I can remember them pushing with horrible force and there was this blind panic that I had to barricade the door closed. I began to think then that if I pulled my heavy stuff towards the door and just put it infront of it - all my heavy stuff - it might be enough.

This is where things get weird and very "dream magical-like" so even though it wont make sense, its because its a dream:

I piled everything I could infront of the door and waited for them to stop trying to push through - when it had been quiet for a while, I put my head to the floor and looked out of the bottom of the door to see if I could see feet - there were none - so I opened the door and shouted to the others if they were alright.

They told me that noise atracts zombies and to shut up so I tried to be quiet as I moved around to see what was happening and where they'd gone. Sure enough, the zombies heard me and came back so I had to run back to my room and close the door and again they tried to push it open, again I had the barricade idea (dream magic!) and after I while I looked again to see if anyone was outside.

A while passed in the dream (really it was an instant but it seemed like a while) when I heard a knock at the door. A nice gentle-rapping sound. I was so confused and I opened the door (dream magic! yay) and to my horror, a Zombie stood there - but it wasnt that fact he was there that scared me, it was the fact he looked a little more human - I remember thinking "Good God! They evole to look like humans!"

He put a hand on my shoulder and told me, in a very calm way, even though his face was angry, "You have to leave now. We dont want monsters here"

!!!

It was my very own "I Am Legend" - I become THEIR monster.

10 Reasons' Why.....

_______________________________

________.Facebook is Evil._________

1)    It promotes unhealthy boastfulness – nobody cares if you get a new car or have just upgraded your cable to a superior package. Advertently, nobody cares also if your child/significant other/family member is really sick – you should not be on Facebook at this time, you should be by there side if you really care.

2)    It isn’t monitorable – There are paedophiles’ in this world who do find it easier to approach children via Facebook – and they will try and do it. They don’t have to use their own pictures or say who they are and there is not one person going to question the credibility of their profile until it is too late.


3)    It has spawned a very nasty trend called cyber-bullying. This is now recognised as a genuine problem amongst schools where children AND TEACHERS are being victimized and bullied via Facebook. There does not seem to be a solution to this problem as removal of the abusive messages from your own wall still leaves them on your friends and families.

4)    The bullying and threatening behaviour do not always stay on Facebook – it is not an unfair comment at all to point out that most violent behaviour (domestic and schoolyard) has been planned for OR has been the direct result of something written on Facebook.


5)    People can blatantly abuse their freedom of speech to praise terrorist attacks or murders on Facebook. Although a few cases have been brought into question in the past few years, all new cases remain unresolved due to sheer-number.

6)    Because of the above, it can be a great cause of emotional distress. If your child has been killed in Iraq, you do not want Islamic Extremist using their right to free speech to express how pleased they are about it.


7)    Thieves now read your Facebook pages to determine if you are at home or out before they rob your house.

8)    The Government monitors its pages to check to see if people claiming benefits are telling the truth about their current employment/disability status. This had led to a lot of totally innocent people losing the benefits they are entitled to (thus braded a benefit cheat) because they said one thing to arouse the suspicion of the welfare office.


9)    Places of work also use Facebook for reasons to fire unsuspecting employees. This had led to some totally innocent people being removed from work because of a post that could possibly relate to employer being posted on facebook.

10)    THE BIGGEST REASON I THINK FACEBOOK IS EVIL IS:

It encourages you to lie. Whilst not all lies are bad; some lies just have to be told out of necessity and some things you should just keep to yourself.
There are also things you should not know (or want to know) about your family/friends. Some things that can question your entire belief system about them, and all because they post them on Facebook.

If, like me, you have read Dante’s Inferno, you will know of the following saying:

“The tenth circle of Hell is reserved for those who lie to themselves”

Facebook encourages you to do this. Whether it be pretending that everything is going to be alright, to a pandering post on somebody else’s wall telling them it will be – even when you know it won’t be alright.
Even when you know that you are not alright.

Facebook encourages you to lie... to yourself more than anybody else.

The Curse of Being (anti-)Social

____________________________________

Being a people reader (I dont just say that for the fun of it, ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you, I can spookily read a lot out of a first impression) is sometimes more a curse than a blessing.

Sure, it has saved me from some of the most barmy and weirdest relationships (one guy was into his mother - in a sex way) that have approached me, but it is at times when family...

Yeah, you know where this is going! This is why I think Facebook is remarkably evil -  (Thats tomorrows blog-post!) there are just some things family members should not share. Some things they should not know about each other. Some aspect of their lives should just be kept to themselves... being a people reader, however, I tend to look a little deeper into everything.

My sister (the one from previous posts) said something... amazingly awful about me, in front of everybody - but in a funny way, so therefore, it isnt an insult and I shouldnt over-react because she ment it - but in a funny way.

I know right?

Im in a bad place right now. I dont really want to blog about my emo-side too much because it just fuels my saddness rather than quells it. But im in a bad place emotionally and its making me both angry and timid.

If I were my old self, she wouldnt have standed a chance after saying that - I would have been down her throat (verbally) so fast that she would gag with horror on the torrent of truth I would have unleashed.

Truth is, where I am now, I just went into another room and tried to stop myself from crying. I didnt want to give her the satisfaction.

I cant stop reading between the lines about it. Just the way she said it; the way she looked at me when she said it - so pointedly and with a smirk-- this is when being a people reader is a curse. You cant stop reading them. long after they're gone. Long after the damage has been done.
