Zombies are Stupid.

For the record, I am NOT a nerd. No way. I mean sure I like a good Harry Potter flick and reading physical books. And YES I say things like "I just can't get enough of this science!" or "where are my clogs?", but I'll tell you what: I do not like zombies.

I can't understand why zombies hold such a high place in nerd culture. They're gross and weird and fake. What's cool about ashy skin, sunken eyeballs and eating brains? Which, if I'm not mistaken, can be a sexual reference as well. Another uncool thing about zombies? The fact that they always drag a leg behind them. Like a peg-leg? Like a birth defect? I don't understand.

Speaking of peg-legs. Pirates. This one I makes a little more sense. I mean, pirates are kinda fun. Like Smee from Peter Pan. And you get to say BOOTY when you talk about pirates. There are good pirate jokes and pick up lines. In conclusion, pirates are OK.

Ninjas however? Not cool. Ninjas are not cool because I don't understand them. Things I don't understand, I automatically don't like. Whats the purpose of Ninjas? They're sneaky? Hm. I don't like being sneaked. They know secret actions they can do with their bodies to kill you? I don't want to get killed. Ninjas. I don't know about these guys.

Lastly, Vampires. What is it with Vampires anyway? How come they keep popping up in non-nerd culture? Like Buffy, or Twilight. Although, people who like these things are still arguably nerds, it is far more main stream. And what I don't like about Twilight is the vague suggestion that love comes from a place where you are scared of your partner. Cool. It's sexy to be afraid that he might kill you!

I'm a little sad for myself that I'm spending this much time on Zombies (which I hate), Pirates, Ninjas and Vampires. I've obviously been spending too much time with my beau and his cohorts.

Peace be with you. And also silver bullets (warewolves?)
