brains = money

I would like to share yet another new concept with you if I may. A few nights ago I was remembering a time when Riley and I spent a lot of time watching old horror movies. She was particularly fond of Zombies. She loved the old horror movies where the main characters were some teenage kids or young hellions and the movies always seemed to move in the same direction. The younger, main stars would have to form a bond and cooperate, to assure their survival. The zombies steadily grew in number. It started with a small handful, but soon the zombies became the majority of the town, taking over the priest, sheriff, teachers, parents and any other symbols of authority as well as the common folk. In the truly scary movies, the ones that really got Riley on the edge of her seat, the poor teenagers or hoodlums would dwindle down one by one, each meeting their own horrific fate of being surrounded by the merciless, cannibals. The last words the poor subject would hear was "brains", which was chanted out by the masses of "one-track minded, dead inside" ghouls. The zombies wanted brains, brains and more brains. They could never get their fill and would never stop or have any other thought. The thought of being surrounded by these non-thinking, non-negotiating, non-sympathetic beings that don't necessarily wish to kill you, but worse, to make you one of them, is definitely horrific. The thought of dying at the hands of these awful creatures is one thing, but it worse than that. They surround you, infect you and eat your mind (or free thought) and force you to become lifeless and in constant search of "brains". You people have come up with your horrible concepts throughout time. I bet the artist or free thinker who came up with zombies probably frightened him/ herself with the concept. Personally I think that Mostfiction is based on some kind of primal psychology. I want you to try something when you have some spare time. Get on line, or netflix or somewhere you can find some old zombie films and give them a view. Even if you don't want to watch the whole thing, at least scan through and get the just of it. Try to pick one that Riley would have enjoyed. You know, the ones with no survivors in the end. Grab yourself some popcorn, turn the lights off and prepare for fright. I'm sure you're not intrigued. Bad acting, even worse special effects. Watch the film, but as the zombies start their chant, replace the word "brains" with the word "money". You don't even have to watch the flick at this point do you? You know exactly what I mean. People's quest for money robs them of times and thoughts and enjoyments. Many in their quest for the "mighty dollar", become mindless zombies, incapable of thinking of anything else.
