>>> Humanity and shotguns...

... aren't the most perfect of mixes, but, DAMN, are they a FUN mix!

Moving along, I've discovered that people can lose their spark of humanity just by being in certain lines of work or service. It's strange, but some of the very work that we do to serve humanity actually strips it away from us in the course of it. Amazing, non? The service sectors of hospitality [hotels, resorts and the like that exist to give you comfort and enjoyment away from home], home defense & security [the police and other domestic defence agencies like the fire fighters, paramedics and the like], health [hospitals with their doctors and nurses and assorted staff], civil service [must I really state the obvious???] and media [with the assorted amount of near garbage shown on TV and all sorts of morbidity in the papers, any wonder that we're dehumanitized as well as desensitized?], just to name a few. My God, it's amazing how callous, unfeeling, cynical and jaded a person in any of these lines can get. The treatment that one receives form them is horrendous, like we're not really alive or something along those lines. It's downright depressing.

And what is it about shotguns that is just so, I don't know, satisfying? I mean, have you guys ever seen a zombie movie in which the shotgun just doesn't seem to run out of ammo until a really critical time? And usually in such a dramatic way, after blasting through half the zombie horde? Even soldiers love the shotgun, for totally different reasons, of course. Let's just ignore the mess it akes when a slug make contact at close range with your skull. Let's forget the cloud of buckshot that shreds bodies in just one salvo from a single shotgun. But, then again, who am I kidding about the insanity of shotguns? I freaking love them, they're real good in a pinch and let's face it, they're a cult classic. LET ME AT THEM ZOMBIES, SON!!!

Hahahahaha, well, that's my obligation of a weekly update done and a release of thoughts to cybernetic logs over and done with. I'll be moseying along now.

Have a good day now, y'hear?
