First post.

This is my very first post on this blog. It has finally happened, and I've gotten around to making my own blog. now all of YOU will have an opportunity to read MY thoughts.

First up I Wanna clear up the name of my blog, and why I specifically chose "zombies and science". The reason is simple: I am not a scientist in any official form. If anything, I am more of a philosopher. I haven't had any education besides what I've taught myself. However, I am a huge fan, or "supporter" of science, and I wanted to contribute with whatever I could in this day and age.

The reason the word "Zombie" is in there, is because, well... I really like zombies. They're cool, they're rotting, they don't say they're always right, and they're dead. Dead people don't argue.

And as you can see on my photo, I am somewhat of a zombie-enthusiast (or fanatic, if you will).

So yeah. In this blog, I will talk about science (in my own way) talk about how people perceive science (I am not a psychologist, but I enjoy watching people and trying to figure out why they do what they do) and why people would want to believe what they believe, AND I will talk about "mythical" creatures like zombies, what they represent to me, how they could come into being and all that.

Every time I watch a zombie movie (a good one, like ) I end up wishing in a small way that zombies existed. If there were a Zombie apocalypse tomorrow, I'd be the first one to yell "Oh yeah! zombie-killing time!" and grab my weapon of choice (crowbar, because of its multi-use as a zombie-whacker and a universal key)

So this was my first blog entry. Not a very concise or specific one, but one that (hopefully) explains what I will write about.

I will try to be as scientific as far as I can, and I will also not be taking sides. Not with religious fanatics, nor with skeptics (even though I am one of them) I will only share my thoughts around these matters and try to watch it from different angles.

And I will end the post here, in hopes that my first post won't be too long.
