Overwhelmed by the Swine Flu


Don’t even feel like anything I blog about even matters. When u hear about a story so serious, it’s like all of this ‘alt music and culture’ stuff doesn’t even matter, cuz in the end, we’re all humans. In case yall haven’t heard, there is a strand of the flu going around called SWINE FLU.

Always thought I would get to die of natural causes. Worried about some sort of disease that my body can’t ‘overcome’ ending my life. Hope that I don’t have to wear some protective suit for the rest of my life.

Hope that Hollywood makes some movies that capitalize on our ‘fear of the unknown’ kinda like when they made all of those movies about a meteor hitting Earth.

Feeling pretty human, yall.
I think that within the next year, the tone of my blog will focus on encouraging the human race to start planning a way to get off the Planet Earth before we all die [via global warming]/natural disaster.

Kinda weird when something that is ‘viral’ actually ‘goes viral.’

From what I understand, swine flu came from Mexico because their farms are dirty.
Hope I didn’t get swine flu at Coachella. I think that California is close 2 Mexico.
Please use this post to share tips on how 2 avoid ‘catching’ the swine flu.’

Gonna go do some research. Sorry if this post is underdeveloped. Just learned how 2 use ‘google news.’ Freaking out.

nvr eating ‘bacon’ again.
