Apocalypse, Now! (No, Seriously...)




If these are the guys at the end of the world... I'm in.
What's better than an hour long saga about a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world dictated by Andrew Lincoln and defended by Norman Reedus?

The obvious answer here is nothing.

I dream about the world ending in one of the most horrific ways possible simply so I can curb stomp some zombies and touch Norman Reedus' biceps.

On so many levels and in so many ways this is uber-fucked up.  But I can't help but occasionally wish that I lived inside the world of The Walking Dead.

Even Hershel's kinda got it goin' on... Who doesn't love an old man on crutches?
In addition to the world ridding itself of all ugly people and keeping only the most beautiful around, the end of the world appears just to be one adrenaline trip after another.  Nonetheless, it's petrifying, trying and terrifyingly harsh.  This show is famous for killing off its main characters. (SPOILER: RIP Andrea...) Though a zombie apocalypse is unrealistic... the fact that most people would die in such a situation is pretty dead-on balls accurate.

So why is it that I (and I believe so many more of us) are so obsessed with the world ending?


Ever seen that ridiculous show, Doomsday Preppers?  It's exactly what it sounds like.  We watch them, laughing, A-ha, ha, what fools.

And yet, as soon as Sunday night at 9:00 pm rolls around, I'm thinking about how unprepared I am for the zombie apocalypse.

(Note to self: learn to use a cross bow.  It is by far the post-apocolyptic weapon of choice.  #TeamDaryl...)

And with North Korea obsessively threatening us, the whole idea of an all out nuclear war is slightly more plausible than it was yesterday.  Ya just never know when the world is going to end and if you'll be one of the ... lucky (?) ones to make it out alive.

This fuckin' guy.
Okay, okay... There is little to no chance that anything seen on television will ever come to fruition in real life. Chances are the crazy hicks who survive will look more like the Doomsday Preppers than like Daryl.

But if the world has to end... a girl can dream...
