Zombie Survival


When the zombie apocalypse hits, where will you be. Will you be prepared? Do you have a group? A plan? These are all the basics to surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. There are ten main rules to surviving. You can find almost everything I’m going to say in the “Zombie Survival Guide” By Max Brooks. Anyway, Max Brooks Ten rules of survival...

1. Organize before they rise!
2. They feel no fear, why should you?
3. Use your head: cut off theirs.
4. Blades don’t need reloading.
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
9. No place is safe, only safer.
10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.

So yea. Ten rules of survival but that is mainly when you on the run. When you are in your home, you have the advantage of being able to store ammo, food, and anything else you strange people have in homes. Now most people would say, shouldn’t you have a gas mask? Well, no. Just something that will cover your face so you don’t get all those zombie guts in your mouth when you slice them open. But that brings us to another topic. Any of you guys who read my other Discussion Question about how to survive the apocalypse I said that the best CQC weapon was a katana. Well I take that back. Max Brooks may have said that a katana was an ideal weapon but my sister’s friend is a weapon expert and she said blunt weapons are better. You don’t have to slice the zombie in half, in fact, that would do absolutely nothing. All you have to do to kill a zombie is damage the brain. Blunt weapons can do just that without the splatter that blades do. Now you guys are probably eager to get on to the fun part about guns and ammo. Well no. This stuff is in an order and if you skip you are probably going to be the first one in your group to get bitten.  So that means do not skip. Now on to more rules. We’ll talk about number ten first. The Zombie May Be Gone but The Threat Lives On. What this means is that even though you have killed it, the body still has the virus and is still dangerous. You still need to dispose of the body by burning it or burying it. But keep in mind this is only applies if you are holding up in a fortress. If you are on the run this does not really matter. Rule number seven. Get out of the car, get on a bike. The cars are loud and will attract more zombies. Simple. Stay stealthy. Rule number five. Don’t want zombies grabbing you. Everything else is pretty much common sense. Except Number One. This entire thing is about rule one. Organize, before they rise. So yea. Now on to the fun parts! Weapons! Now guys, the first thing I want to say is if you voted for Romney, I’m glad you had a will to survive. But for those of you who voted for Obama, good luck surviving the apocalypse with your muzzle loader. Say good buy to your automatics... Anyway, on to the weapons. Now a lot of you are probably thinking of bringing a shotgun. Well no. that is the worst possible choice you could make. You'd be better off running a melee weapon in the apocalypse. Shotguns are heavy. So are the rounds. The rounds are bulky, heavy, stupid, red, and I hate them. I think it would be better for you just to throw pistols at the zombies. With grenades taped to them... Moving on. The best zombie apocalypse weapon is the AR-15. This is not Max Brook’s choice. This is my sister firearms expert choice. My sister  also has a friend who makes knives that are awesome. So yea. One night we were playing a friendly game of Monopoly National Parks Edition. By the way my sister is an Archaeologist in the Black Hills. I got a card from the City Chest that told me I had won a free trip to the Redwood Forest where my sister’s friend had already built a hotel. I gladly passed go and collected two-hundred dollars and continued on my journey to the Redwood Forest. But when I arrived at my destination... I raged. Since we were already well into the game and my strategy is just buy everything I land on I was really broke. I swept my piece off the board, tipped my houses over, and went to sit on the couch. But that has absolutely nothing to do with surviving. Or does it? It actually does. Max Brooks Zombie Survival Guide says that you need to keep your group in a positive state so that they still have the will to try and survive. What was I even talking about? Oh yea, when we were playing Monopoly and she told me that shotguns are inefficient and that she would go with the AR-15 with a laser sight and a suppressor. Same attachments to your sidearm but we’ll get onto that later. The laser sight so you can just lay the little red dot on the zombie’s head and just fire away. Fire accurately though. Every bullet is a chance to save your life. Suppressor, so you don’t attract more zombies. Your sidearm. The Heckler and Koch USP 40. It’s reliable, comfortable, accurate, moderate recoil, easy to find, and easy to operate. The USP also is available in a 9mm and a .45 ACP type. The 9mm is considered weak with low recoil. The .45 is very powerful with high recoil. Same attachments, same function. But heres another thing. If you are a beginner, this might help you. But if you are an expert on anything in here, don’t listen to me. Yea, don’t listen to anything I just said. If you’re a pro Marksmen, go with a rifle. If you’re more familiar with a P99, go with that. If you like explosives, you sound really dangerous but ok, I guess that’s your thing. I think you get the point. I think this pretty much wraps everything up for now. You guys want to know more, buy the Zombie Survival guide. Prep for December 21st!

Walmart Survival Part 2 Outcome 2

Journal log 63 - I’ve been stuck out here for six months now and life has become a little
easier. My shelter has upgraded to a multi floored house. Three to be exact. Countless times has the the manager approached me in fear because of my superiority, asking me to please leave the home improvements aisle. Here is a recent picture of my house...


It has really come along nicely....

Journal Log 76 - I was chased by a pack of POWs today. It has not been the first time so I knew how to handle them. All you do is run through the Doritos aisle to suppress and distract the stupid ones, then finish off the larger Alpha POWs by simply laying marbles down behind you. Then will then cause them to fall under their own mass and weight. Incase you haven’t read my earlier logs from some of the first encounter a POW. In fact, my first encounter was with an Alpha. A massive horrifying beast with a shirt that said SWAG, and pajama bottoms on that said Bootylicious. Orange, and green Osiris shoes, and to top it off, some gold bling such as chains and plastic rings from the toy machine that comes in the little bubbles...

Journal Log 98 - It’s that time of year again where Walmart is growing an entire forest of plastic trees, toys from China and candy canes. You might have guessed the special occasion. Well it’s the middle of October. I think Walmart has broken calendar because I’m pretty sure it snows during December and that’s when Christmas is. There’s no snow covering any of the cars in the maze of vehicles outside. Come on Walmart...

Journal Log 687 - I don’t know what year it is. I don’t remember when my birthday was. One thing I do know is that I have successfully Conquered Walmart and its vicious and unforgiving kingdom I showed the POWs the ways of normal peoples lives. I led them them to formal dress wear, and I freed them from their curse. I can now pass through the store safely, and out the door. I could do it right now if I wanted to, but I have come a long way here, and walking out that door would just start my life over. Also I forgot where my house is. Wal Mart's calendar says it’s July, but I see Christmas decorations everywhere. I have found a new life here, and shall rename this awful stores name to...
Author Co...

Hope you liked the story guys! This is pretty much the end of the series so I don’t really know what I’m going to write about for the next year so thats pretty much the end of these things. I might do some other random Logs, but no big stories like this. But Walmart is now Author Co. and the POWs have become civilized, like normal people. I’m going to miss this story,. And as always, Have nice a day...

A Day With Dad




Now, where were we. Oh, yes we had just scratched the surface about Ruby. Today we might find her potential. We also will learn about her family's jobs and positions.

Her dad is a Crook, he is also not the brightest Crook. His name is Mickey. This week he is posing as a cars salesman and will be selling  misrepresented cars. Lets take a look.
“Hey Kids I have a surprise for you”, said Mickey, “you get to come to work with me, yayyy.” “NOW GET IN THE CAR!”
“Alright here we are.”
“Dad, what are we going to do?” Asked Ruby.
“Well first we are going to show you how to “repair” a car that I got for $200.” told Mickey. “First you go in the dashboard and find a wire that hooks up to the Odometer then you put it in the drill and turn it backwards. Then when they look at the car they think there are not any miles on it when there is really 100,000 miles on the car. Then you give it a brand new finish and it looks good as new. Then we sell it for $2,000.”
“But Daddy that is illegal.” Said Ruby
What can I say I told you that he was a crook. But he is not a very good one and here is what happened to the person who bought this car. The man’s name is Richard Silvercaster, he belongs to the Chicago Mafia. He doesn’t just belong to it he is the head of it...
“Hello I would like to bye a car form you” complied Mr. Silvercaster.
(Car When Sold)
“Well, you know what, today is your lucky day. I have just the right car for you. It is right here...” Returned Mickey.
“PERFECT!” Answered Mr. Silvercaster.
The next day the man returned the car but this time it was shiny and not at all rusty. Also this time it had bullet holes in the back. This is what happened that day while Ruby and her brother were at home fighting.
“Take the car just take it I do not want it any more you can keep it, impound it or do anything else with it just take it, put i would prefer it if you impounded the car.”

Building a tree stand


  First you need a plan of how you are going set up your stand. Lots of plans for different
styles of deer stands can be found online. You can even watch step by step tutorials on
You Tube. There are a lot of supplies that you will need, like: a hammer, nails, saw,
screws, different lengths and sizes of wood, windows and doors. You can build a ground
stand or one that is up in the air like a tree house to see down into the marsh and woods.
If you build it right, you should be able to see out all four sides of your stand. That way
you can have a clear shot of your intended target when it gets within shooting distance. I
am building a stand that will be similar to a tree house. It has four walls, a door, windows
and a roof. The roof even has shingles. We are almost finished with it but we are
waiting for windows and a door. You should put up see-through curtains. That way the deer can’t see you, but you can see them. It’s better if you can get up in a tree instead of just being on the ground. That way you are less visible to the deer and have a better chance of
The choice is up to you. If you aren’t into doing a lot of planning and building, you can
buy premade stands from most sporting goods stores like Fleet Farm, Cabela’s or Gander
Mountain. By looking at the picture, you can get an idea of the kind of labor involved in
building your own stand. Some people build the stand in their garage or shop and haul it
to the woods to set up and some people just take all of their supplies out to the woods
and build it there. Building a stand can be as easy or hard as you make it. Some people I
know have carpet, heaters, and little stoves to stay warm and to cook easy things to eat
while you are out there. We have been working on my stand for three weekends now and
we still are not finished. I’m not even making it very fancy. It’s fun to do it with my
dad because we both like to hunt and we can spend time together and have a finished
project to show people.

My Adventure at Kings Island

Last Summer, I had one exciting, fun, week down at Cincinnati where I visited my relatives and my Mom’s Dad. We also rode roller coasters at “Kings Island.” Kings island is an awesome place for riding roller coasters, playing games, and getting ripped off!! One of the rides I liked there the most was the “Diamondback”
The Diamondback is of course a snake, but the ride is a highest hill climb in the whole park. I have rode Diamondback A LOT of times. (legitimately 5 times) When you get on the roller coaster, it’s like “Oh Ya, “Lets do this”. But when you get halfway up the chain hill, it’s like, “Get me off now” and you’re really scared. The best spot on the roller coaster is the back. The back of the cart is the best, because you get the most drop and most pull. When I rode it, I asked 2 REALLY fat guys to sit in the front, and they did. It was the best ride of my life with those guys in the front.
Anyways, I liked the other roller coasters too at Kings Island. One of them was called “The Beast” The Beast you guys probably heard of, if you didn’t I’ll tell you. The Beast is the world’s longest wooden roller coaster. It was built a long time ago, and about 10 years ago, they added more to the coaster. The Beast is supposed to be about an animal that lives on the side of the rails. That I kind of believed, and I’m 13 years old.

Kings Island is a night park too. Well kind of, Kings Island closes at 10 at night. (duh) At that time, it's dark out side, which makes coasters fun! The best one at night is "The Beast". The reason why because the roller coaster is in a forest, which makes it all scarey like the beast is hiding in it.

The life of slave times

             
              
                                                              The Life In Slave Times



                      Slavery started when farming started because farming had the advantage of putting their prisoners of war to work for them. People who were slaves were people who were captured in the war, criminals or sometimes people who couldn't pay their debts. Slaves did most of the masters work. For example, they worked in mines, on plantations, as servants and some became doctors or poets.

                      So who had it easier as a slave? They probably didn't think that anyone had it easier. the sad truth is that the servants had it easier than people in the mines or in the fields. I don't understand how this could happen to anyone. People thought having slaves was normal and think anything was wrong or bad about it.

                    How did they survive? Their religion with was a mix of African and Christian beliefs. They also used to have their music and their own language. They thought when they died they would go to heaven and that gave them hope.Some tried to get away and thousands did. Harriet Tubman was the slave that started the UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. This was not an underground train or subway. It was in fact it was a network of people mostly white. How this worked was that people would hide the slaves in covered wagons and take them to a house at night to the basement where they would sleep.

        Are there still slaves? Yes, in some countries it is still legal such as Africa, Asia and South America. There slaves were captured people or they owed a debt. Historians may disagree with the impact of slavery. I think that it should of never happened it was not right .
