The End is Near My Friends!!!

Posted on the 23 April 2012 by Nickmcdonald @W_W_O_Nick_McD
I often ponder the end of the world, especially since it is supposed to happen this year, according to the Mayans, and all of the crazy people. I don't think that is is going to happen, I honestly don't. But it is a concept that intrigues me. Not like just everyone dies, that is boring, but like a big catastrophic event that changes everything and creates a new world. I know this is kind of a morbid topic and I am probably going to say some weird stuff that you may or may not be offended by, but keep an open mind about this it is all theoretical.
My favorite by far is the zombie apocalypse. I just think that it would be such a cool way to live! I have totally planned out everything I would do if there was a zombie outbreak, like every other day I find my self day dreaming about my zombie fighting uniform, weapons, vehicles, safe-houses, and what ever else comes to my mind. My favorite zombie movie would have to be dawn of the dead, It just seems like the most realistic view of life during an outbreak. But a close second is the new TV show The Walking Dead. It is just a totally new view of it. Not having it based at the beginning with all of the carnage but after! Living with zombies running wild having to survive, I love it. Most of this just comes from a desire for a simpler life I think. I don't want to have to live up to my "potential" I don't want to have go to college and get a doctorate or, start a successful business; I think part of me just wants to strip down to the bare minimum, fighting for my life, literally, it may seem weird to some of you but I just don't feel enough danger in my life, I feel like one day I want to wake up and have to TRY to stay alive, like right now I'm laying in bed, if I wanted to I could stay here for a month, literally a month easily with no fear of death. none what so ever. I want some one to attack me I want to be walking down the street and have to fight to stay alive and I know that is weird but you have to understand where I'm coming from, life is just to easy. And that is why I don't feel like I appreciate it for the wonder that it is, I've never had to fight for it. Yeah I have been in situations that could have got me killed, but I have barely ever been in a situation where I honestly think "I have to do this or I will die."
I don't have a death wish, I love life, and I want to live for as long as possible. But I am attracted to danger, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't mind living in a society where I didn't have everything handed to me, where I have to provide my own sustenance, find, or build my own shelter and equipment and have to keep one eye open so that I don't loose it all. And that is what the zombie apocalypse provides! You have to fortify shelters, collect equipment, fight them off, protect those that can't protect them selfs, It isn't an ideal way to live, but hell it would be exciting, and I would have nothing to strive for but staying alive. There is no five year plan, no hopes to start a family, because you have something in the present, something significant and you have nothing to look forward to other than surviving. It is human nature at it's finest.
I hope I can't experience that though, even though I want it, I don't want it. So much death, so much pain, I couldn't enjoy it, I couldn't kill a single zombie without remembering that that used to be a person just like me, he was probably fighting for his life, but he lost, and so will I one day.
So over all, I hope the world doesn't end......that is all I can really say, It's not like I could stop it if it were going to happen, I wouldn't even know were to start.
So my advise for this post : Hope for the best, plan for the worst, and know that everything is going to be okay, no matter what happens.
