ZOMBIES!!!!

I hate ZOMBIES.. and I hate Zombie movies for showing zombies.. It is my utmost belief that the world could do without zombie movies. SERIOUSLY.. why are there zombie films out there anyway? Is it really necessary to show decaying masses of humanity eating the flesh and innards of man? Can I just say EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW?

SERIOUSLY!!

I hate them more because of the fact that when I happen to chance upon a movie like Resident Evil, or Dawn of the Dead, I cannot help but stay tuned and watch it. It's as if some mysterious cosmic force if pulling my will away. Like it's saying "Watch it!! So you'll have nightmares!! I command you to fuck yourself with horror movies!!!"..

So yeah, after that shit, I'd be unable to sleep at all. But I cannot stop myself from watching!!!!


But I chanced upon a movie that really piqued my interest.. not my fear, disgust and impulsive degradation of willpower.. SHAUN OF THE DEAD..

Seriously!

That movie is the shit!!! It's one of the funniest, scariest, and saddest movies I have ever seen. ALL IN ONE ONE and a HALF HOUR FILM!! WEEEEHH!!

It's basically a spoof of Dawn of the Dead.. Shaun is this loser-esque guy who fumbles his work and love life to a quagmire.. as he is trying to fix it, zombies start to appear and destroy civilization in their city. He then rescues his mum(and step-dad) and subsequently, his girlfriend(+ her friend, and stalker-ish guy friend who's gaga over her) and they head to the pub to hide..

Unfortunately.. his stepdad becomes a zombie.. so does his mum... the sad part was when he had to shoot his own mum... it was like.... probably the most painful thing a child could feel... I shed a tear for that... so did Shaun..

eventually..when it seemed like all hope was lost and none but 2 (Shaun and girlfriend) remained non-undead, the British Army came in and slaughtered the scourge.. HOOORAY FOR THE BRITS!!!

My favorite scene was when the stalker-ish friend of Shaun's girlfriend got eaten by zombies... the zombies literally tore his stomach open and feated on his innards... I was trying to upload an image but I could not copy it...aaaaawww....

anyway... yeah.. that's it.. wahehehehehe... I still hate zombies though...

Last Saturday, one of my closest friends in ze entire world, Ermalyn, celebrated her 18th birthday. Unfortunately for them, I was not in the country to grace the party with my presence. But to make up for the absence, I just sent them a video which I SHALL NOT SHOW YOU GUYS.. hahahahahahahahahaha!!

Anyway, just for the heck of it, let me show you some photographs of the event that I am so fuckin' sad that I wasn't able to go to....

I'm glad that Linnaeus is well represented here... someone is trying to return to the fold he left.... TRY HARDER.. FIND THE MISFIT GUYS!!!

**update on the SHOE saga...

I could no longer take the pain as I was "ramping" along 14th street this afternoon. So, wearing my oversized glasses, I passed by this shoe store and bought myself a pair of loafers... i have blisters on my feet.. GGGRRRRR.. FASHION!!!!!

Where Have the Little Children Gone?

As children, we have always thought optimistically. Our heads in the clouds, full of idealism and energy...

My Czech friend, Klimo, asked me how I was. And I told him I was frustrated, disappointed, and most of all, sad. He asked me why. I told him...

I was able to catch this video in YouTube and it reminded me of how I, and a billion other people felt during the celebration of the 2nd Millenium..

I had such high hopes back then. Even as a 10 year old, I already saw the blight and entropy that the world was rife with. And I thought to myself, maybe, with the fete and festivities that came along with the 2000th year of modern covilization, that maybe, the world would start to become a better place to live in. Wars and strife would end. The diaspora of many a people would finally come to a halt, equity and the end of discrimination would start to reign. I had my hopes up. Im sure a lot of young ones did too.

The fireworks and the hooplah heralded the coming of a new era of peace and prosperity... Or so we thought.

As the years went on, I forgot about that time. I forgot about how happy and anticipative I was. I became part of the mindless world machine who think of themselves, and their self-progression only.

But when i watched this video, it all came back to me. But now, it's no longer hope, but despair. Despair and forlornness as to why things are still practically the same.

Racism is still prevalent. Sexism and looksism, even ageism are still hooked like leeches on humanity. Wars are still afoot. The Middle East is still a hodgepodge of tension. Africa is still engulfed with poverty. The world powers are still somewhat indifferent to global problems that need immediate attention and intervention. And the Philippines, ang aking bayang minamahal, is still in the cesspools of the third world.

I ask now, "where has the hopeful kid gone?"

Seems like the "tomorrow in our hands" has fallen prey to insidious greed and apathy. Did our conviction and drive die along with the noise after January 1, 2000?

I guess we're all to blame, coz we still haven't made the effort to reach the pinnacle goal of Y2K...

Is it too late for me to raise my little flags, white and the rainbow, and say.. "WORLD PEACE!"?

I hope not.. for it is my opinion that everything grows from that root. World Peace isn't an end..it's the means.. prosperity springs from it, so do happiness, contentment and unity.

Or I may just be some coot who can't get his head off the clouds and back to earth.

They say hope springs eternal. But somehow, I find that my hope is thinning out, lost in the menagerie that is the world today.

You must hold on and dream of a place that is safe, peaceful and free
through a thousand years and more, let it be
a bright new world that shines
with love for humanity
a world that's whole for you and me

Catharsis. Life's Automatic Immodium

While I'm at a slump here, I've decided to saturate my brain cells with Katharine McPhee's cathartic songs. And by saturate, I mean dance slowly to her hypnotic and sensuous melodies.

I don't wanna say that up to now I'm still a bit bitter about.. well..the people who need to know already know.. coz I'm not.. not anymore.

But there are times when I, somehow in an unexplicable convergence of moon and insanity, crave the drama. So I listen to bitter, angry, or cathartic songs. And then I channel it through my body and I imagine little soldiers of drama marching along my veins.. fighting off the endorphins.. LOL

Then I lipsynch with the singer and try to make an improvised music video with matching emotions asnd that shite.. LOL.. pathetic.. yeah i know.

Afterwards, I need to break free from the drama. So I listen to disco songs ala Donna Summer, the Beegees and Melba Moore. LOL. Again, dancing while lipsynching. But this time, in front of a mirror. I usually do a lot aerobic motions.. LOL. LAME-O!!

Then, I feel so refreshed, like I just came from a relaxing day at the spa.. haha! Why it works for me, I have no clue.

So.. join me.. in the metaphorical orgasm of my cyclical sentimentality.

"Wanting you to be wanting me....you know that ain't no way to be. hurt at first a little bit.. but now I'm so over it..."... (ikot ikot.. giling giling)

If you can't play the AOL media, here's the youtube equivalent..


This song rox my sox!.. Katharine's so glamtastic!!

They're Really Saying I Love You

[insert your name here, if you're my best friend, a close friend, or a friend that might need a digital hug], the two of us need look no more.

we both found what we were looking for.

with a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone. And you my [name] will see, you got a friend in me.

[name], you're always running here and there. you feel you're not wanted anywhere.

If you ever look behind and don't like what you find, there's something you should know... you got a place to go...

I used to say I and Me.. now it's Us.. now its We..

[name], most people would turn you away.

I don't listen to a word they say.

they don't see you as I do.

I wish they would try to.

I'm sure they'd think anew if they had a friend like you..

**A shout out to little Mike for a great piece; back in the day when he wasn't weird. Did a little edit in the last line. but the essence is still there. Aaaww crud. Le nerd is getting all mooooshy and sentimental again.

**i miss my life in the Philippines... and my pseudo-paraplegic state is making my nostalgia worse... I can't wait for winter to finally come to a full halt..
