Lions and Tigers and Zombies OH My.....
 
Hello everyone,
I went to my first Zombie Walk yesterday , held here in Nanaimo, B.C. For some recent photos, go to: http://www.bradpowellphoto.com/Event...301509&k=6M4yx.

Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_walk#History if you haven't heard about Zombie Walks.

It was the first time, I was able to be TOTALLY myself in public and not worry about walking funny, being started at, or not being able to talk. We all had a bloody good time, We even offered a helping hand, a foot or even some brains, in case some of the spectators got hungry. It was great, I just walked my normal PD walk and I fitted just in. It didn't even matter that I was missing a sock and my clothes were dirty and torn up. People did stare at me, even had my picture taken, but not because of my PD. Nobody knew. It was a great day to be dead, pretend anyway.


EnJoy every day, it couldn't hurt.
Max

P.S. Here's my favorite You-Tube video of all time. I watch it every morning to start my day.
You can't help but smile.

I'm a slow learner when it comes to life but am finally starting to realize if we focus on what we can do and spend a lot of time doing those things with one another we can be happy. Isolating ourselves is one of the worst things we can do.

Thanks for this!

zombies of the world, UNITE
 
Tremendous good fun!
Street theater. These are among the true revolutionaries, seeing what is, accepting it, and then making it into something fun and hopeful, or strong and proud, or just to cross the road to see what is on the other side.

PD is a signal that it is time to get creative; not just in doing actual art, but in looking around at the beauty and craziness of this world that we will be leaving, and looking at it all with an open heart, and seeing it with new eyes, and saying, it sure has been rough a lot of the time, but still I had a hel-uva good ride.

Zombies of the world, unite!
Or disperse, i am not sure which,
but either is good if it is all-zombies all-the-time, provided that PWP get invited en masse as official Zombie mascots. In fact, PWP should build the Zombie walk into a major event everywhere.

I always thought so, but now I am not so sure. Certain types of stress murder me; in particular I am averse to being surrounded by delirious mobs with flaming torches chanting, "Keep the mutants out!"
I find tranquility in solitude these days. I don't have to explain to anybody or ask permission to someone else for a few days
I would say if you want to be part of something, make sure that the something wants you to be part of it,, 100%, and not just have you there as a mascot for the fund raiser. ; either i am in or i am out.
if i am in don't shove me aside
