Find Your Weapon of Choice.

The horrific state of Haiti had left me rather... melancholy for a while. In the middle of class yesterday Nichole, my super awesome Enduring Cultures teacher, slammed her hands down against her desk and announced that there was no good news in the world. Always looking for the sliver lining, (as is my current hobby) I offered up the new information that the new Star Trek will be out June 29th 2012... But no one found it uplifting.

JUNE 29TH 2012 PEOPLE! C'MON! I literally did a dance of joy outside of the bookstore...

Don't get me wrong, I'm still sad, but I have recently discovered that there may be more pressing issues at stake....

If you were to read up on the current condition of Haiti (here) You would eventually reach the end of the article where the following is stated:

"Others tried to carry dead relatives to nearby hills for impromptu burials, prompting Brazil's military — the biggest continent among U.N. peacekeepers — to warn the practice could lead to an epidemic. It said it is asking authorities to create a new cemetery. The Brazilian military said it also was worried that bodies could be left too long because many Voodoo followers in Haiti do not allow the dead to be touched before all their rituals are concluded."

I have put the most important parts in bold. I know you are all reading this and instinctively reaching for the nearest heavy blunt object because we have been officially warned.


ZOMBIES MAY SOON RISE AMONG US.

That's right kids, whether you prefer to travel alone or in small groups of loved ones, I suggest you immediately sever all emotional ties and stick to your prearranged Zombie attack plan.

Because I am not entirely insensitive I understand that this is a... closely guarded subject and that many a person would read this and shake their head quietly commenting "Too soon Jill, Too soon." BUT NOT YOU ZOMBIE ENTHUSIAST! You understand the depth of this matter and I have faith that by the time the first solemn newscaster (their hands folded to keep their fearful shaking at bay) address the viewers at home to inform them of the breaking new development in Haiti you will be long gone.

I wish you all the best of luck and offer up a sweet Zombie Playlist:
