I Like Zombie Movies

Well not just zombie movies. I like apocalyptic movies, I am not sure exactly why. I just do. I guess it is the idea of survival of the fittest of things becoming terribly simple.

I have a somewhat arrogant idea that I would do well. That I would live and fight to survive. That I somehow would be better than the next guy. Maybe I am weird, maybe I just want to be a hero.

The reality is harsher meaner, angrier. In reality I would be the one walking away from the helpless and the dying and leaving them to their fate. Because in a world where food is scarce and the strong survive and there isn't enough you lose with a big heart. You lose with any heart. You survive by staying light, moving fast, and keeping a low profile.

I have lain awake idly wondering what I would pack first and where I would go to survive the initial panic. Surviving that initial rush comes down to either knowing before other people and acting accordingly or being extraordinarily lucky.

This is why you should follow the news. And not because I think there is going to be a zombie apocalypse. But because there might be war, or natural disaster, or a geopolitical failure. I don't rave about the end of the world. I don't expect it to happen. I just try to remain alert enough, that if it did happen. And it has before many times. I am a survivor.

I love apocalyptic movies too. Throw in a female heroine to save the day and I'm all in! ;)

So where do we rendezvous when the world goes to hell?
@sarabee1995 Your boat... Then we can sail to a tropical island to wait it out.

@Challenger1 Sounds like a plan! I'm on the boat right now actually.
@sarabee1995 But where will I find the boat? Don't worry about distance because I can cross a lot of terrain. But it should be a deserted meeting up area so your boat doesn't draw attention. I'll try and bring food. Do you have a desalination system?
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Challenger1 Nope, no desalination on board, but that's a good idea! Lol. Where to meet? Idk, anywhere on the east coast of North America I guess. Just let me know.
@sarabee1995 how will I get in touch with you when all goes to shit?
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Challenger1 I have a marine VHF on board.
@sarabee1995 We will need a code word so you know it is me.
But who else would be on your boat? How many can it take? would there be room for me? Though i would be an asset, I am handy.

@Challenger1 Lol, well right now I'm alone. But it's not a long term ocean crossing boat. I wish it was. It's intended as a daysailer or a weekender. But in a pinch, it could sleep four people over night. Eight if you don't mind sleeping in shifts.
@sarabee1995 We would have to sleep in shifts to keep watch. Maybe we could find a bigger boat. But your family and friends would be running from the end of the world too.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Challenger1 Yup, bigger boat needed then!
