Welcome the Apocalypse

I think there may be something slightly wrong with me. I'll explain. Most people have seen disaster movies like the day after tomorrow, or one of the various films where asteroids/meteors strike earth. Well, I kinda wish this would happen. I almost wish the apocalypse would come, so I could see what I would do.


I wouldn't welcome this Apocalypse though, he's annoying and has a terrible sense of humour.

Provided I wasn't killed in the initial devastation, I think it would be really exciting. Whenever I watch films like this, I always think to myself,

"How cool would this be?"

Survival of fittest suddenly takes a whole new meaning to the human race. I personally think I'd do quite well.

I like cities, but mostly with nobody in them. I used to work as a croupier, and I would walk the few miles home at 4:30am. It was my favourite time of day. Often I wouldn't see a single car or person on my way home. Everything is so quiet and peaceful. Even before I worked as a croupier, I've always been more of a nocturnal person. If I was upset about anything and couldn't sleep, I used to get up in the middle of the night, and wander round the empty streets thinking to myself.

It's an incredible feeling. In the 28 Days Later when the main character is wandering round an empty London at the beginning of the movie, I wondered what it would be like, and find that there's nobody at all in your city. It would suck that everyone you know would be dead, but it would be so sweet that there wasn't anybody else about. The city is your playground. No more work, no more anything. Just exploring, playing, scavenging.


Damn I wish that was me. And it was real.

I'm not too hot on the idea of a city full of zombies though. A few zombies I could live with, slow moving and stupid, if you please. I don't want groups of the motherfuckers running me down and eating me, thank you. I think I'd pillage a few shops get myself some nice new motorbike leathers for protection (zombies will have trouble biting you through that!), with my bike gloves with kevlar knuckle protection, a crossbow, and a sharp sword. Of course if there weren't any shops nearby for that, I have all these items anyway, but it would be cool to get new shiny stuff! Oh wait, I lied, I don't have a crossbow. I'd have to go and get one of those.

The thing is, life is so complicated nowadays. No matter where you go, there will always be 'civilisation' close by and therefore you cannot truly escape the complication. Even if you live somewhere utterly remote like Mongolia, you cannot just live off the land and enjoy life. You still have to think about earning money by faming or whatever. Gone are the times where you could be truly self sufficient.

There's so much bad in the world, and things are just getting crazier. I can see the divide between rich and poor becoming larger over time, so that eventually cities will wall them out. There are places in plenty of places round the world, including America and the US where the police just don't go anymore. Society is spiraling out of control the more crowded it gets. Governments try to get a grip by introducing more and more laws and guidelines to follow. We're all just sheep. Everything is difficult, life requires more and more maintenance. If I'm not working, there's always something else I should be doing, from sorting bills and paperwork, to ringing round to sort out new house/bike/other insurance. Just as an example, Insurance companies used to give you a cheaper policy every year, just for your loyalty. Now the cost goes up per year, and it's impossible to get a cheaper quote without the hassle.

Everything seems to be going this way. I don't watch the news, listen to the radio, or read newspapers, because it just makes me angry. People are stupid. Is it any great surprise a 2 year old toddler, left to play on the street in Devonport (a fairly rough area) with his 5 year old sister is found with puncture marks in his hand after finding and playing with a needle. It made front page news in the paper I only bought so I could look for somewhere to live.

Surely someone should be asking why the mother left her two young children to play alone on the street? Is it any wonder they grow up to be scumbags? I honestly believe that there should be some form of licensing for children. The Chinese have the right idea. If you have one child, everything is free, schooling, healthcare, the whole schebang. However, if you have more than one child, you either get no benefits for the new child, or they take them away entirely, meaning you have to pay for it all yourself. No longer would you have chav scumbags having 5 kids to claim the extra benefits.


One thing that worries me slightly is when I do a search on Google Images for Earth's Destruction, this is the second picture that comes up.

My mother was a job centre employee, and is a probation officer, and although I don't think I've seen her for well over a year now, she has told me of many cases where people really do have more children, just so they can get more benefits. What they don't realise is that although they are getting a lot of money (one woman gets about forty grand a year in benefits and a house for her 8 kids!), it doesn't actually cover the entire cost of looking after the kids. All they see is new trainers and stuff, and the child gets neglected, and grows up to be scum, like so many in our current society unfit to be called human.
Unfortunately for them, it's not really their fault. Social conditioning has made them what they are. Granted, they are probably inferior people anyway, as the majority of them are stupid. If brains were dynamite they'd have trouble blowing their own noses.

However, this is just a stereotype, obviously the odd good egg breaks the mould and gets away. I myself didn't have the best upbringing, but I turned out ok, I guess! A little scatty perhaps...

But these are just examples summed up in a nice tangent. Society is going nuts, we live in a false democracy, and we fill our lives with stuff. I like stuff. I am a consumer whore. However, I don't have a lot else, so I follow the path, like a good sheep. I dream of the day the apocalypse will come, and I can break away, and find out ho I really am. Until then, I may have to think up some plans of global domination/destruction. I have been called an evil genius on many occasions. I wonder who my arch nemesis would be?

Maybe instead I should go into politics. I've often thought I might be able to win the hearts of the people. But in this modern 'democracy' will that be enough? I really hate politicians with all their deceit and silver-tongued antics. Is it really so hard to answer a question truthfully? I mean come on, would it really kill your career to grow a spine and speak out?

I'd fucking do it, I'll tell you that much. But this could be my downfall. If I made it, would all politicians actually be expected to be truthful? That wouldn't bade well for the current lot. No doubt they'd try something to get rid of me.

Vote for Pedro, sorry, Ryan.

PS - America, I'm not a terrorist, I'm just exercising my freedom of speech. You know all about it, you're always harping on about your bloody rights. Just shut the fuck up and join the Kyoto Protocol you Nazi Pigs.
