The 2012 'Zombie' Trend
& The Strange Events Occurring Worldwide
Well it's been a month since the gruesome attack in Miami that left a homeless man without a face, an incident that opened the eyes of the world as the strange attacks kept up and a startling trend emerged. Over the last month "Zombie" & "Cannibal" were the most used terms in social media, and with Professional entities also succumbing to the trend in the forms of college classes and mass "social experiments & games"- virtually every outlet that could use the terms has abused it as well. Blurred amongst the thousands of repetitive articles are daily examples of the strange trend continuing at a relatively consistent pace.
Twenty twelve is apparently the year where people really ate each other up, as if the rest of what is going on in the world today isn't enough to scare the living crap out of you. So far what this year has amounted to has been nothing short of crazy. Nonexistent winter? Check. April fireballs? Check. A bunch of rare astronomy events? Check. Horrific tornado outbreaks and strange weather? Double Check. Unexplained animal deaths? Check. Asteroids coming way too close for comfort? Check. Financial woes? Check. Solar flares? Check. Flesh-Eating Viruses, Superbugs & Plagues? Check. Early hurricane season? Check. "Zombie-like" & Cannibal attacks? Check. Leprechauns attacks? Check. Volcano eruptions and strong earthquakes? Check. 2012 is a jammed packed shitshow and folks, we're far from done with it.
The zombie trend is one of the most alarming because we are far from primitive when it comes to our social interactions and expectations, the one area of our current world that has gone well beyond the realm of imagination. We can ignore a couple extra bad storms, use a little more hand sanitizer, and overlook the not easily understood- but people can't ignore people eating each other. We can handle the occasional horrifying news event, but when an event becomes a trend and a trend becomes a gruesome reality society just sits and stares at the wreck. Unable to process, eyes glued and not moving a bit. It just continues, and the majority sits in a horrified awe.
Don't get me wrong, there are 7,000,000,000,000+ humans on Earth. 100+ events in a couple of months is really nothing to worry over when you do the math. Nothing to get too 'excited' about if you ask me. Regardless of the theorized causes (and boy the list really does go on) people are certainly biting each other a lot more, so I'd say now is a good time to remove 'bite me' from your vernacular. When I first started covering these events I honestly didn't think it would go on this long, and am surprised I am still getting new events in everyday. I have decide that I will continue to post on these events until they stop happening for at least two weeks.

The only question that I have in my mind is 'When will it end?'. It's an obvious answer to say that the actual causes of these incidences, whether correlated or not, are not the same. No matter how hard someone tries to find one answer for a string of events such as these the work usually proves futile. So whether the causes are- be it bath salts, synthetic marijuana, psychotic breaks in the normal realms of consciousness, a zombie-like virus or bacteria, engineered life inserted into an already over complicated equation, in the end it doesn't matter. What does matter is something I have stressed to the point of retardation in this website. Preparedness. If you are not prepared for the unexpected, how will you ever be able to handle it? After all, people eating each other was about the last concern on my list of worrisome ponderings, where is it on yours?
