The rumored impending zombie apocalypse kind of scares me, but I'm rational and sane enough to know that people are just crazy and drugs are usually involved. So, in a sense, while my inner horror movie fanatic is screaming "Grab the shotgun!" I'm outwardly rational about the situation. Let's be serious, zombies? Come on, it's more likely to be a cocktail of existing diseases who came together to destroy everything, and even this is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. On the flip side, the horror movie fanatic insists I remain vigilant and aim specifically for the head.
So, curiously, I google the term "zombie apocalypse" and begin to soak in the most recent in cannibalism news. Much to my horror, there's more than I expected, which begin to link to stories about horrific child abuse... Which stems to pedophilia and child porn rings. Which then led to politics. All the evil things in the world right there on the national news.
Ugh.
Then I think about my hometown and how much worse it's gotten. We just finished with a high profile pedophilia scandal, a generous amount of the people I used to know are doing heinous things, the drugs are rampant and getting harder... The people are desperate, which is something not very characteristic of where I'm from and it scares the bejeezus out of me. You might ask how I met these people, and I would tell you high school. These kids are parents now, selling drugs and having more kids, and stealing, and for the love of God, they've even formed a quasi cult.
I see the world changing before my eyes, getting worse. The news is a horrible place to turn if you want to be optimistic, but I don't even know if I feel informed. I don't think anything could restore my faith in humanity at this point.
Shit.
