So, what are you doing with the last year of your life

So, in some peoples theory we have only one more year to live.
According to the Mayan calender the world will end on December 21, 2011.
I am the first to acknowledge that the world is a pretty fucked up place, right now.
We have massive natural & ecological disasters; Social upheaval and political revolution all around the world; and the continued rise of virus and disease that could and maybe should wipe out the human population. There are those that will say Obama administration is that start of the Anti-Christ (to which I point and laugh, BWAHAHAHA).

Basically people are freaking out over the end of the world because of the shitty state of our world. Well I hate to say it, but we only have ourselves to blame for the state of the world. Anyway, worrying about the end of the world is kinda useless.

If it is truly the biblical end of the world then is nothing you can do to stop it. Just live the best life you can and make peace with our God. If you don't believe it is an Apocalypse of biblical proportions, first you should look up what that word really means, and then just be prepared (See my Zombie Apocalypse post for example). That would just be the fall of human civilization.

Whatever your belief about 12/21/2012, I pose you this question. If you had only one year of life left, what would you do? Would you strive to do better, to make the world the best possible place you could? Or would you go out and do whatever you wanted, to make yourself happy because you know there will be little consequence for your actions?


The Official Countdown

So, what are you doing for the Zombie Apocalypse

Soooo, if you have been watching The Walking Dead, & if you haven't you should be, it is almost inevitable to to start thinking or talking about what you would do during the robot vampire zombie Nazi apocalypse (If nothing else, its a fun mental exercise).
So I thought I would share with you (the almost no one how reads this) what my plan is.

First, be prepared!
1. Exercise. The first rule in Zombieland was cardio for a reason.
2. Be prepared to move.
3. Travel light and know where you are going.
4. Groups are good, but only if everyone is of a similar mindset and manageable size.
5. Have strong, tear resistant clothing that cover a lot of your body. A good pair of running shoes(see #1) for open spaces, road ways, fields, anywhere with a long line of sight; and a good set of heavy boots for close quarter stuff like woods and cities. You never know when you will have to kick a zombie.

Weapons, my set of post-zombie apocalypse weapons would be.
1. .38 pistol, for close quarter head shot (Remember to always aim for the head!)
2. Steyr TMP sub machine gun pistol. For more crowd control/large groups. Again always aim for the head.
3. Precision-rifle with scope for long range head shots
4. As many bullets for above guns that I can fit in a backpack.
5. A throwing knife
6. A hunting knife
7. A sword or ax, cause they don't run out of bullets
8. Sharping stone for edged weapons

Misc. Equipment:
1. Sub zero sleeping bag and tent
2. Matches and a magnifying glass for starting fires
3. Water purifying tablets

My plan:
Steal a big truck with a 60+ gallon tank and get to the coast. Then steal one of those large sailboats and put out to sea. Zombie lore is pretty unclear about zombies reaction to water. They can either float or walk on the bottom (They don't breath), but can't really swim. From the boat, I can make raids on coastal towns for supplies and I can always fish while I am out to sea. I might be able to find a small island with no zombies and do some farming. Hopefully I would have a group or can find other survivors, to start a colony on these island. At this point it should just be a matter of waiting for the zombies to die off. They are still dead bodies, they should rot away in a after a few months after the outbreak.

For more helpful hints and suggestion go to the CDC zombie page, link in the title, and yes it is a real CDC page. There are also many, website, book, and films to give you ideas...like this one

So, what are you doing for the apocolypse tomorrow

I thought I would get up early and run. Cause you want to look good when you meet your maker. Then make some pancakes, cause they are heavenly.After that I might read me some comic books. Got to luv those comic books. After that may sip on some whiskey and play (badly) on my guitar. Maybe I will be able to see this weeks Doctor Who before the Rapture at 6pm. Is that 6pm GST? EST? CST? HHhhmmm...? If I am not taken in the Rapture, then hopefully I can go meet Nikki Frost and Loot Be-Bop Record Store. Soon after, I should meet Fish for a Crawfish boil and then the ROLLERDERBY!!! After that I will probably just get drunk till I fall asleep.
