One of my biggest fantasies, is to watch this world of humanity turn on itself and chew itself apart (not like we dont already do that, in non literal means). But think about it.. a world you live in purly based on survival, no entertainment, no school, none of that bull that existes in this modern world.. just kill or be killed. Id miss a lot of people.. but .. i think i could get used it.. i remeber having intense fantasies with my friends .. what wed doo... whered we goo... the artillery we would store in our vehicles.. life this way sounds so simple... horrid.. but.. simple. i love "monsters and Zombies" you made us read, never have i before then heard an account of a zombie story... through the eys of an actuall zombie! thas just genius. its kinda funny tho.. the whole zombie thing.. so apprently they like eating live people.. but.. once your dead and one of em.. your meat isnt good anymore? its kinda like there just runnin around pissed off that there dead and just wana make you one of em.. like extreme envy or something. guess i dont blame em, but i sure would love to take a nice shotgun to one o there heads! or maybe i played too much resident evil as a child oO.

Vampires, Werwolves and frankenstein OH MY
Im just gona post about all 3 in one, cause lets face it... only takes the modern day Van Helsing movie to see how similar they can get. How we see these ... monsters.. has changed soo much over time, through alterations of the storyies or from just stories passed down. For instance, frankenstein.. when you think of that name you think of the monster.. but.. frankenstein is the creator! lets look at the old original dracula, creepy old man luring men and women to there doom in a far away hidden mansion of a castle.. and then.. now look at what our generation has for vampires.. "true blood" to dare i say "twilight" dam i said it.. no more of that tho. modern vampires and werewolves are apprently sexy men that lure women to sex. (do they ever portray an ugly vampire... not hollywood of course). My all time favorite vampire novel/series that i feel best portrays a possible reality to them.. is "Cirque Du Freak." Now, before i say any more i wana make this clear im NOT TALKIN ABOUT THE MOVIE, thanks. it was horrible, after being a die hard fan of the series since middle school seeing it broke my heart. Its about a boy named darren shan (who is also the author? perhaps its a true story? lol). Darren is a young boy, has a sister and a family that loves him, and also of course, a best friend... Steve leapord (the wild child). one day Darren and his friends come accross a ticket to the cirque du freak. Only being able to get two.. him and steve wind up goin and enjoying a WILD night indeed. However.. durring one of the acts a man appears, a creepy old man with a scar down his face over his eye. Immediately, Steve, being the all knowlegble student of horror and the wicked... knew that this man was a vampire.. and knew his name, Mr. Crepsley. His act was bizare indeed, a tarantula that can be controlled with a falute, and not just any tarantuala the most visious of them all! .. and that led the boys on a wild journy there after. i could talk about this forever.. retell the whole tale exactly if i had too.. i read this sooo many times.. but in the long runn.. darren steals crepsleys spider.. it bites steve.. and darren must becomve a half vampire in order to save his friend .. abandoning his life as he knows it.. faking his young death... being alive in the coffen during his funeral! 12 epic books darren shan dives into the unknown world filled with cirques freaks, vampires, wolfmen, vampanzeez... DRAGONS! Time travel! all under the mischievous Mr. Desmond tiny (take out the mond...destiny? sure seems like it) reading this book growin up was monumental and influnced me greatly.. at first it seems like a childs book, but the detail that grows out of its basic structure is so purely formed and evolved.. truly a masterpiece (dont watch the movie first... or .. at all) but a great read indeed.
