Don't fear the walking dead, fear the walking living.

The walking living are all around us. but they are not really living. They are texting themselves into zombiedome. That is a made up word of course, but it gets a point across and what is that you might ask? Well, People are living in that they are breathing, and filling their stomachs with soda pop and chips and smoking and drinking and taking on more weight, but is this living? They, the walking living, can only be saved if they take time to enjoy the world around them in real time, without texting themselves into oblivion. Yea. I spelled that word right. Getting real, most people think it's okay to be among the walking living, and of course, it's better to be alive than dead, but being alive and feeling alive are not always the same darn thing. You get me? Hope so. Peace. I will admit that I was once a member of the Reagan Clan, a 2 person organization that spent it's time riding a bike all over the Dallas area, stopping to ask people if they were happy. I used to actually ask people if I could interview them for a survey and I was only 14 at the time. Me and a friend wrote these things on paper, called Banana Notes, they were of course foolish jargon that made no sense but were so corny they were almost brilliant. We used to type up hundreds of Banana Notes and place them in the library return and place them under frozen dinners and sometimes just go door to door handing them out to strangers. What was the purpose of the Banana Note? It was a simple survey asking people if they had a sense of humor and if they ever laughed at a joke and did they enjoy life? We did very poorly and this lasted approximately 2 days until we gave up on the process. Some people write graffiti on subway trains and walls in empty parking lots, but we were ahead of our time. We were actually the first in history of foolish pranks, to create the very first Banana Notes and this is why I want to let you know I started off in life looking at things from the sunny side up. Smiling at the gloom and parading around happily go luckily. These days we all need more walking and less texting. Don't become another walking living, Live, laugh, be happy and smile more.
