Knowledge is Power

Last spring I bought a book by Max Brooks that changed my life forever; it was all about staying conscious and positive with an impending apocalypse, zombie apocalypse that is.

Now I was a zombie fanatic before Milla Jovovich sported a that red dress and a Berretta Inox, but that sure did it, and like many of you out there I like to think I could survive for some time should there ever be an outbreak.

I mean, I'm always yelling about how stupid people are for splitting up during a horror movie; that's enough, right?

But as I read through Brooks "The Zombie Survival Guide," I realized that just me knowing isn't going to cut it. Everyone should know how to handle themselves should they be faced with a bloody, groaning mob of the undead, looking like an all too real Halloween costume group.

And let's face it, if you don't know how to protect your neck then you're just the responsibility of some survivor, like myself, who has to do it for you; and no one wants to be a nuisance in such tough times.

So I thought I would start this blog to share with other knowledge that I have gained about staying alive against zombies from watching movies, reading books, and just pondering "wouldn't that be awawawsome!" (your suppose to rev it like a motor for that part).

What is a zombie? Zombies don't have to be human, or a corpse for that matter, like many people believe; it could be of mystical form that overpowers the person, or even a mutated creature from genetic experiments gone wrong.

There is a lot of hype surrounding Hollywood zombies that downplay the real spiritual beliefs of some groups, as well as some of the accounts of zombies.

Most of which I plan on revealing over the coming weeks, along with weapon reviews, lessons on how to protect yourself, find supplies, and utilize shelter; exerts from Max Brooks book, recorded attacks, and must see zombie movies.

The next instilment of my blog will look at the zombie, its forms and abilities, origins, and needs; until next time, remember Brooks number 1 lesson for surviving a zombie attack:

"Organize BEFORE they rise!"
