Revelation

I'm sorry. I realize I haven't posted a new blog in a while. I was doing a little zombie soul searching if you will.

Recently I watched the worst movie of my life and I was willing to do so for this list, I'm sure you remember reading my review for it ( skeleton key 2 ) Then I found out, it wasn't even on my list. At first I was outraged, then devestated, and then I thought about asking my sponsors if I could cross a movie off the list in it's place. Then I thought about just giving up.

So I dug out my very official contract ( a note I wrote with a bic pen on the first oage of my planner and then signed and it said..... " By the end of this year, ( February 1st, 2011 ) I will have watched all 371 zombie movies." I got the number 317 from Abe, who had printed out a list from wikipedia.

Here's the thing, I signed on to watch all the movies from that list, all 371 of them, in order to get the zombie trophy and the zombie movie hunters badge. But by the time I printed out my own copy of the list, there were over 500 movies. I realized that there are even more out there, and that to get my trophy all I needed to do was copy out Abe's list. That would cut off about 200 movies. I was going to ask to borrow that list when I got back into school this monday, I have always been a procrastinator and an under achiever, why do more than I really have to.

So my plan, was going to be to go in and ask for that list, but then I realized something. When I printed out that list, i knew there more movies then what Abe had had. I could see that. But I did it anyway. This isn't about a zombie trophy or a badge, this is about seeing every zombie movie ever made by the end of this year. So, there's a chance I might not make it, I'll be half surprised if I do, there's a chance that by the end of the year, all my sponsors will have forgotten and I won't get a damn thing. But it was never about that to begin with. It's a journey of self discovery and zombies. This is for me. And you, faithful readers. So, I'm going to do all the movies on my list, Abe's list, the short film section, all the gray area zombies and when I find zombie movies that weren't on either list, you'd better be damn sure I'm going to watch them
anyway and write a review on this blog. Because this isn't about rewards, it's about my year among the undead.

So, in conclusion instead of going to winter formal, I stayed home and watched Let's Scare Jessica To Death. And for me, that's more worthy to blog about anyway.
