I'm not walking in this pack of zombies. And Shane sucks.

The Walking Dead has went from comic book sensation to a televised wonder for the ages. Ask a co-worker, a friend or any body you're having a conversation with (or a random stranger that you've grabbed by the shirt collar) and you ask them on whether they've heard of The Walking Dead, odds are they've watched the show. A higher chance is that they've read the comics and have watched the show. From my knowledge, I know people who have watched the show and absolutely love it. Then I know the ones who have read the comics and watched the show, but hate it's rotten guts.

I fall in the latter. Sadly.

I say sadly because it's complicated to explain about being a fan of the comic and seeing one of my favorite comic series being it put on television, expanded upon and seeing some characters act differently then they had in the comics.

I get a funny feeling see Shane still alive in the second season. I get a funny feeling over how the show is making him a character that people will obviously hate because I doubt that viewers actually like him. It could be all a way to have the viewers keep watching and waiting until this moment:

Where he is killed by Carl (Rick's son). Now to be honest, this should have happened in the first season (if I were to go by the comics as seasons). Now much to my distaste for the show I will put it on as background noise so I can focus on something else, which doesn't help because I'm curious on how the series doing.

Now in the recent episode, some girl is suicidal and the women of the farm are trying to prevent her from offing herself. At this point in the comic, they were off the farm and nobody was trying to commit suicide. And at this point in the show I'm seeing how they're adding more humanity to the show and not sticking to the comic's script which would have had the characters pretty bland for a few episodes. A good tactic, but I'm still pussyfooting around the idea of buying into it.

It had me at the first season, which followed the comic for a while but then deviated into it's own thing. I enjoyed it, but I had hoped the second season would be more like the comic, which it was...for a few episodes. Nice tactic but I do want to see Rick return to Shane's grave, if Shane ever receives that bullet into the neck this season. To be honest, The Walking Dead has become a hit television show, but in another sense it's become my generation's soap opera in a strange twist.

This. This is going up on my wall and it will be an awesomer wall! Recently got this from this wonderful girl. She surprised me with it. Fuckin love it!

I needed that.

After the week had reached it's end on Friday afternoon and I walked out of school early, got to my car, drove home, packed up and went down to my mom's to help babysit and to kick back and relax.

I've got a horrid case of senioritis. Meaning since I'm a senior and I get out early I don't do my homework or I rarely touch any school work. Sadly, I usually get out early, go home and nap.

Repeat schedule for maximum deja vu.

Some days I regret getting out early, that I should have taken three more classes to fill up my day so I can keep myself busy. But at the time I wanted to get out early, go home nap like a bum, do my hobbies and hang out with my friends who also would get out as early as me. Most of these never came to be.

As I was heading down to southern Jersey I played my music as loud as I could to damper the horrible noise my car makes due to the missing muffler that I lost during the summer time after a trip to A.C. during one of the hottest days of the summer. The album was Demon Days and I was loving every second it was blasting in my ears. I would arrive to my mother's partially deaf.

The day went by quickly since I arrived, unpacked then took a nap because I'm a bum. I would wake up to my little brother crying, his nap was over when I was fifteen minutes into mine. Fair enough. That night I had pizza and wings. Best damn dinner I've had in a while.

The next day I would actually have my friend over. A rarity for me to have company over at my mom's. After managing to drive to her place and drive back to mine we watched a movie and just chilled out, it was nice. Normally at my mom's I like to be alone and away from everybody, to relax and catch up with my mom and whatnot but having my friend down was nice, if only that lasted longer.

Moving on, I drove her home so she can be with her girls and I returned to my mom's for another great dinner. After two plates of chicken and mash potatoes and ice cream to top it off I kicked back and watched two terrible movies.

It didn't phase me though, I was having a good day and I was feeling happy. Maybe it was because I hanged out with her, or maybe because it was a different day that it usually would have been. Maybe both.

Whatever it was, it was just what I needed.

On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express creatively his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole.
