The Zombies are Coming… Tomorrow

With no apologies or explanation I am announcing that Zombie for Life will now be updated only weekly. 

Weakly?

Oh shut up. I’m turning into a zombie myself with all this writing. That’s me, shuffling after sentences, gurgling “blogs.” The whole point was to “promote” my book of short stories. But writing these posts has gotten to be more fun than that. Yeah, I wind up waxing pseudo-philosophical, but then I like to hear myself talk. No zombie can say that! Or say anything! Cause they don’t talk!

Anyhow, I got other blogs going weekly now too, so I have arbitrarily decided Thursday will be Zombie day. Until it isn’t. Or until I get some more energy and write up a whole mess of stuff too good to hold onto.

In the meantime (or until tomorrow I guess) here’s some zombie quotes. I Googled “best quotes” and it gave me a bunch of quotes with the word “best” in them, so exchanged the word “best” with “zombie” and these turned out to be all true.

• In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the zombie teacher. --Dalai Lama 
• The only real failure in life is not to be true to the zombie one knows. --Buddha 
• The zombie road to progress is freedom's road. --John F. Kennedy 
• Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the zombie. --John C. Maxwell 
• I am easily satisfied with the zombie. --Winston Churchill 
• I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the zombie. --Oscar Wilde 
• He who knows zombie knows how little he knows. --Thomas Jefferson 
• But men are men; the zombie sometimes forget. --William Shakespeare 
• Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your zombie days are still out in front of you. --Joel Osteen 
• Expect the zombie. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes. --Zig Ziglar

Grr, arrgh.

Zombie Blogs

Hint-- he has this image on his website.

Since I am writing a zombie blog I often Google the words “zombie blog” to see what the other Zombie blogs are doing.

The top hit hasn't updated since October 30th. I mean, what the damn hell? No HALLOWEEN update? I think the person who writes it is in Canada. Do they have Halloween in Canada?

Not only that, but previous updates include one at the beginning of October, and the one before that is in July. A two-month span of no updates. And this is the first hit you get on Google when you search for “zombie blog.”

My complaint is not against the blogger himself. Actually, it’s a pretty good blog, and I’ve been enjoying my shuffling wander through the blood-soaked organs of its archives. Nor do I think mine is “better.” I’m not out to stare and compare.

Its just that I want fresh zombie stuff, so I can mingle with the freshness. Its all about SEO, right? Search Engines are zombies and I am trying to get their attention by shouting and looking like food.

Which is why I haven’t mentioned that other blog by name-- if I link to it, I increase its ranking on Google. That might make me a jerk, but, I have told you how to find it easily, and, I’m thinking about sending him a copy of “Still LIfe, With Zombie” for him to review, which means I’m hoping he’ll link to my site.

If he does another update this year.

And when he does, I will, of course, put a link back to him. I’m not a monster.
