Final Blog Post

So... throughout the semester, when I've been out and about, if I saw something that I've thought would make a good blog post, I made a note about it in my cell phone. And then, almost always when I went to do my blog post for the week, I either already had a new idea, or just forgot that I had those ideas written down. Now that it's the end of the semester, and it is my final mandatory post I thought I'd do a short run down of some of those potential blog posts that never were.

So for starters I'd like to introduce you to Japanese sport of "Bo-Taoshi." I don't fully understand the rules, but the basic concept is that there are two teams, and each team has a pole. They must topple the other teams pole, while keeping theirs standing. Watch the video and you'll see why I thought it would make a good blog post. If these players don't look like zombies, I don't know what does.

The second topic I'd wanted to do a blog post about, but never really got around to was something I saw on "The Talking Dead," where guest Keegan Michael Key (of Key and Peele fame) discussed the possibility of a cult within the zombie apocalypse. I know we talked about people's individual faiths within the zombie apocalypse in class some, but I don't think we ever talked much about how a group of people who shared an extreme fringe belief would react. Sadly I couldn't find the clip I'm referring to online.

Lastly I wanted to go back to an idea we talked about earlier in the semester and that was the question of whether zombies and ghosts can exist in the same fictional universe? I think absolutely. In my mind a ghost is made up of everything a human must loose to become a zombie.

So this is the end of my final blog post! It's been a great semester, and I'll miss this class. What do you guys think of my "mini-blogs" this week? Are there any topics you wished I could have gone into more detail with? Also I'd love to get your take on the Zombie/Ghost thing.
