A herd of sheep and HotD

     I see clones... all over the city, they just roam around. They all wear the same face and the same mind. Each one is a part of the herd of sheep, that offers them confidence and safety... or so they think. Let me paint a picture:

"It's gonna be wild!" shouts a douchebag-looking guy from the top of his lungs and drinks a can of beer in one breath. The party is at it's peak: girls are dancing to loud club music, rastafarian looking dudes are laying on the couch and sharing a joint, the jocks are swallowing gallons of alcoholic beverages through a funnel attached to a garden hose and the bathrooms are filled with people throwing up. In the second-floor toilet (or the first floor if you're british) a hipster is kneeling in front of the bowl and spilling out the contents of his stomach. Just a day before he had been to a concert (you probably don't know the band, but he was listening their music even before the other hipsters found out about it). And in the sea of people he got bitten, crazy right? So now he is throwing up after trying to solve a hangover with more booze. After 3 minutes in the stall he started coughing up blood, his eyes turned hazy and eventually his heart stopped. Soon he was found lying next to his shattered ray bans in a pool of blood. In just a split-second this nightmare turned into a total shitstorm, when the corpse ripped a chunk of flesh out of a cheerleader's neck and proceeded to feast on the victims guts. A few minutes later everyone in the herd was turned... only one girl managed to lock herself in the basement thanks to her boyfriend, who she had shoved into the hands of the undead to get a bit more time. 

       But can a wooden door keep you safe from fifty hungry college-zombies, who can hear your heavy breathing? Hell no! All she won was 4 more minutes of humanity... if you would call that kind of actions humane. Where would most likely be when the zombie apocalypse happens? In my house playing Dead Island and watching Zombieland. And when they reach me I'll be there, waiting with a shield and a sword- ready to slice some rotten flesh. If you want to be ready.. or just amused for some time, watch Highschool of the Dead. It's an anime about a bunch of highschoolers surviving in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Warning: It might be a bit too ecchi for people, who are not used to it, but I loved it.

The nurse's breasts are ridiculous, I know.

Lupercalia, The Masquerade, Bloodlines and Jeanette

Don't you just hate Valentine's Day? History lesson!!!: Valentine's Day (originally St. Valentine's Day) was created to praise St. Valentinus, who, according to the legend, secretly wed couples and finally died for what he believed. It started in eighteenth-century England 14th of February... Well ain't that a nice piece of bullshit.
Let's travel back in time now, to ancient Rome - A time when men fought with swords, shields, spears, clubs, rocks and their bare hands! 13th to 15th of February was the "Lupercalia" or "The Wolf Festival" - The celebration of the mother-wolf, who raised Romulus and Remus, the celebration of Spring. Lupercalia started with the sacrifice of two goats and a dog followed by a huge party with people in goatskins.

It is said that the Christians created Valentine's Day to make Lupercalia disappear and obviously they succeeded, but I think we all know which one was more awesome... despite the gory details.
I think Valentine's Day is a soggy and outdated holiday for dim-witted couples - It needs to change.
Now I know about the Forever Alone Day, but for people like me Forever Alone Day is every day.
I propose a new holiday celebrating an eternal part of rock history and future -
Bring forth The VanHalentine's Day! VanHalentine's Day celebrations might include listening to Van Halen, wearing wolf skins and doing whatever the fuck you want.

A few days ago I found a horror rpg, that makes most of the crap in the shops today look like...well...crap.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a game, that gives you the chance to be a nocturnal creature craving for blood. The first awesome thing about this game is a questionnaire, that will determine your vampire-bloodline. Each bloodline is unique and bloodline has a clan:
  1. the Kingship Clan (Ventrue)
  2. the Clan of the Beast (Gangrel)
  3. the Moon Clan (Malkavian)
  4. the Clan of the Hidden (Nosferatu)
  5. the Wanderer Clan (Ravnos)
  6. the Clan of the Rose (Toreador)
  7. the Night Clan (Lasombra)
  8. the Clan of Shapers (Tzimisce)
  9. the Snake Clan (Followers of Set)
  10. the Clan of Death (Cappadocian)
  11. the Healer's Clan (Salubri)
  12. the Clan of the Hunt (Assamite
  13. the Learned Clan (Brujah)
  14. Clan of Usurpers (Tremere)
There also are assorted bloodlines as well as an extinct clan or two.
The rest of the awesomeness is a mix of memorable characters, references to movies and vampiric rave music. (Note that I usually hate that kind of music.)
Although there has been some really sickening alterations of occult, my faith in vampires, werewolves and ghosts has been restored with a simple glance at the past.
