Escape

"Zombie" - The Cranberries

Imagine your house was about to be attacked by zombies. Imagine where you'd be in the house. What would you do? Where would you go? How would you escape...

I think about this scenario a lot when I feel lost, confused, and alone. I've only shared this with one other person other than my sisters, but it's never been a secret. I just didn't want to sound crazy to people! I find it amusing to put myself in difficult situations in my mind to see how I would get out of it. Movies tend to do that to me, hence why I'm no fan of scary movies. I look into it too much so it often has a "real" effect on me that I can't shake off easily. I'd rather not let my imagination run as wild as it can because I have to admit the f@cker sure can run!

Ok, so back to the escape route.

My house isn't very big and unfortunately, the walls are thin and most of the windows are big and inviting. Obviously, not the most ideal space for this. I'd have to say I'd be in the garage-turned-bedroom. Its hidden and blocked off from one side. It's meant to look like a garage from the outside so most of it is already boarded up and secure. The windows are small enough for me to climb up and nothing else to climb in. I know exactly how to pop the screen out from the inside and ease my way out (let's just say I've had practice). I could climb up to the roof, try to get to my car or make a run for it, but I haven't decided yet.

The only thing I know for sure is I'd be armed. I never understood why the actors wouldn't be prepared to hit 'em with everything they've got. They'd just run around trying to find a weapon and when they do, it's a useless piece of sh*t like a dinky knife. I couldn't help but think, "Why didn't you already have a real weapon to begin with?!" I haven't read a Zombie survival guide nor am I an expert. But before this craze on zombies came about here's what I know for sure:

  1. Have a real weapon (loaded gun, baseball bat, etc.)
  2. Have your car keys on you
  3. Have a mini-survival kit (flashlight, first aid, water and a few snacks)
  4. Don't wait around
  5. Don't hide
  6. Don't attract their attention
  7. Keep moving





Lyrics:

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Hey, hey, hey
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence 'causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Hey, hey, hey
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie?

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
