THE DEALIO

"... no matter what time of day... you always have to treat it like it's the best time of the day. that's the only way to keep going. if you don't think you are going to get cold or thirsty, what do you have to fear? when it gets dark everyone wants to go inside, be warm, and eat, but if you say, 'fuck that... the thing that i love to do is rock climb, and i'm here and i'm doing it,' and this is the best time of your life, then you shouldn't care if it's dark. you just keep going."

the alien. and zombies...


ok, so i went over to watch a movie with my friend robbi (who just happens to be a nationally ranked college rodeo star). for whatever reason, we decided to watch alien.

not really the scariest movie in the world, but still, it's pretty gripping.
then, for some reason she pops in this zombie movie about little kid zombies in the woods, with a crazy catholic guy that lets his own blood, sacrifices pigs, etc.

now... while i'm watching this movie, the wheels in my head start turning:
-robbi totally lives in one of those country farm houses where creepy stuff happens in every single scary movie.
-it's pitch black outside, and i have to walk through this darkness to get to my car.
-this is totally one of those situations in movies where something bad happens....

so, i got my coat, my shoes, walked outside, heart pounding... i pulled out my cell phone for a makeshift light, get to my car, can't see inside, i reached for my keys, and...
they weren't in my pocket! i walk back into the house and look around until i find them. and then go back to face the darkness.

i don't handle horror films very well. even lame ones.
