UPDATED: End of the world meme
Wednesday, June 24, 2009
I'm starting something new...
"The End of the World" meme
You wake up tomorrow and every person on the planet has vanished.
What do you do?
Day One: Try to cope with what has happened. Do what research I can online and explore the city I'm in. Begin to plan what I will do to survive.
Maybe sneak in and watch Transformers 2. Eat at McDonalds and ditch vegetarian stuff. No Boca at the end of the word babee.
Week One: Locate a large RV and stock it with all of the electronics, solar panels, food, motorcycles, GPS, firearms that I can (maybe an RV that looks like the rig from Damnation Alley). Plan to setup a home base near Hoover Dam (World After People says that it will be the last power source to fail in twenty years).
Start driving and watching out for zombies.UPDATE: I may need to get my own sub. Yeah, That's the ticket.
Month One: Find a home and begin construction of my own solar grid. Start downloading every source of educational material possible on power, farming, health, and literature. Gather all of the DVDs possible to get past those lonely nights. Plan excursions to bases like Area 51 and Wright Patterson to explore. Learn to shoot
Watch out for zombie coyotes.
Year One: Probably begin driving around the country and setting up mini home bases to explore those cities. Boredom would not allow me to stay in one place very long. Hopefully, I would discover a secret time travel project or UFO wreckage.
More likely, I'll die in some stupid accident.

I apologize, because this requires some thought, I'll have to tackle this tomorrow.
Yea!
I'll get to it... I swear! I'm kinda busy today per chance you haven't noticed.
I've been running errands ALL DAY LONG.
Maaaaannnnnn, am I tired.

very cool. thanks for the tag. i'll come back and report when i've completed my mission. it will be fun in light of my recent return from a camping trip that had me calculating the costs of living in state parks after buying my first ever state park pass. (i hope the end of the world and not using capitals are not related. very annoying.)
Thanks for the tap!
Hawkwind, one of my favorite cult bands, had a song based on the movie in one of their late seventies albums.
It's a damned shame that that movie hasn't been released on dvd yet.
I have to put an alert up on Amazon - like when they FINALLY released Gunga Din.
Thanks!

Ha - I often fantasize about just this sort of thing. Wasn't there a movie about this in the 70s called "The Omega Man?" Or something like that. I'm not the quickest and replying to Memes but I will do it and will give you props---all in good time my pretty, all in good time....
That film was a cheesy remake of "The Last Man on Earth" with Vincent Price based on "I am Legend". I own several copies of the original and one copy of the Charlton Heston flick.
I own no copies of the Wil Smith poopfest.
Weird to think of such situations, but I'm a writer and I've thought up a lot worse. Should I say that out loud?
