I don't watch scary movies because if I do I'll wake up in the middle of the night and lie frozen in fear of seeing the heretofore quiet spirits living in my apartment. But a part of me still want to see Dawn of the Dead because I might get some tips on how to get along better in modern American society. I don't mean to diss on every day zombies who aren't actually dead yet, but just annoying to be around, (because I did spend the morning in a Cadbury egg/Marshmallow Peeps stupor without the ability to form an intelligible sentence), but I still think I prefer the undead kind, to those just on planet Emotional Shut-Down.

Because unlike terrorists, or LAPD in riot gear, or criminals, people without access to their feelings are truly the Scary People to me. Maybe I'm just paranoid (which, as the saying goes, doesn't mean people aren't out to get me), or it's just taken me a long time to awaken to the truth of a capitalist society, but I'm really an easy victim for those with less than Christian motives because I never see it coming. Someone can so much as say, "I'm goin' to take you down, bi-otch!" and I'll still be shocked when I'm flat on my back on the floor.

I know all I can do is love people out of their zombie like trance, because I try to duke it out I'll surely turn into one of the masses.

Just for today, I can love zombies.
