Of Women and Zombies

If you've known me at all in the last decade or so of my life then you know I have a guilty pleasure issue with zombies. Okay... let me stop your sick, twisted, demented minds right there. Not THAT kind of "guilty pleasure". No, I love zombie movies, zombies games, zombie books -- sit down and read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies before you look at me funny for that one-- and zombies parties. As of late I have felt bad for the living-impaired. They thrive, as we all know, on brains. Sadly, the planet's stockpile is quickly deminishing despite a boom in population levels.

I'll go on more about Zomb-aid on a later date because that's not my line of thought today. It's fair to say that I also enjoy the fairer sex. How the hell do these two things go together, you may be asking yourself? Well before your mind spirals down to places that most probably should not be visited, let me explain.

In recent days I have found myself attracted to ladies who share my passion for the "undead". It makes sense; birds of a feather flock together, why shouldn't corpses? Okay, corpses probably don't "flock" per se... do they? In layman's terms I am coming to a more open realisation that I've had a habit of actually dating or being in relationships with or whatever label you choose to use, women who actually didn't share a lot of my interests.

Now, let me lay to rest any concern you might be having at this point. I do have interests that encompass more than just the morose and morbid. Again, if you know me, you know I am into music from the perspective of a musician. You also know that I am a fan a literature and an avid move fanatic. Proudly I admit that, at the age of 34, I am still a fan of video games. Those are just a few of the cracks that make of the facets of who I am. Lord knows I am cracked.

To the title of today's blog, though, I find myself inexorably intrigued by women who are also into the undead apocalypse. I don't know if it's really just a matter of that particular interest, but it has caused me to step back and take a look at my relationship history for a moment. I think it could really be more of a case that, and let's be honest, fascination with the walking dead is a rather "less ordinary" interest. Therefore, I think now when I meet women who share that interest I realise that they might actually be close to more of my overall likes and dislikes... or they are just out to eat my brains. It could also just be that 12/21/2012 is rapidly approaching and anyone who knows anything knows that this will be the day that the dead rise up and inheret the world! I mean, who's more "meek" than "the dead"?

In closing, as I attempt to put my thumb on the chaos that are my random thoughts, I just have to say that I find it funny what little things can actually draw your attention towards another person. Some people like art, other people like travel and yet others again like the reanimated dead. Everyone has their quirks and tastes. Ironically enough, I am necrophobic in reality. NecroPHOBIC... sickos.

So if you do anything today, I hope it's eat and breath. I may love stories about the undead, but I don't want to see you go anytime soon. After you've done that, stop and take a moment and ponder what oddities might actually be catalysts for attraction in your mind. And remember kids, the mind is a terrible thing to waste... especially when there are zombies inn third-world nations starving.
