Digging a Grave? You’ve Got It Made!

Most of all, do what makes you happy.

That could be the best thing about zombies. They know what they want and they go out and get it. They go in a straight line, right to what they want. Whether it’s the path of least resistance or the path of being firebombed by government troops, a zombie takes that path if it leads to tasty brains. A zombie’s going to get what it wants, and fuck you if you think you’re going to stop it.

Zombie Tip:

A brain by any other name would still taste as sweet.

Medulla oblongata. Occipital lobe. Corpus callosum. Not exactly what you’d associate with the chef’s special. But hey, it doesn’t matter what you call it if it’s what you want!

A zombie doesn’t hesitate, and it certainly doesn’t doubt itself. No zombie ever says: “I’d really like to give the whole eating-your-brains thing a try, at least for a while. So right now the plan is to move to New York City after graduation and give it a go, but if I don’t eat at least one brain by the time I’m, like, thirty, I am so totally moving back home and applying to law schools.”

A zombie doesn’t hedge its bets or give itself timelines. Once it makes a decision, it sticks to it.

It’s down for (after)life.

It will pursue its goal to the very ends of the earth.

The rest of us could aspire to such dedication.
