The Past Few Days

Well, obviously the blogger app sucks. None of my posts have gone through on my android, so I guess I will re-install it and try again before I deem the app to be crap. All my posts I have typed up and posted along with photos are showing on my app, but not on the actual blog page...weird stuff.

Anyways, past few days have been awesome. Got a resume almost completely put together and I have got a lot of Dead Island and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record gaming in :P Tonight I am finally going to try Texas Roadhouse. Hopefully it is delicious like it sounds. 

I'm at work so I will update a little later when I am less busy.

Cadaverous Context

Zombie Cultural Influence: Haitian Vodou Pharmacology
An ethnobotanist named Wade Davis suggested in his two books The Serpent and the Rainbow (1985) and Passage of Darkness. The Ethniobiology of the Haitian Zombie (1988) that Haitian living zombis were actually under the pharmacological influence of two drugs. The first, known as a coup padre, was created from tetrodotoxin, a deadly porcupine fish extract and neurotoxin. The second chemical was a similar compound to the one found in flowering datura plants, which caused dissociation and hallucinations. Given together by the bokors, the mixture could simulate the appearance of death, and make the victim sluggishly psychotic and easily manipulated. Because of widespread societal beliefs in zombis, the receiver of the drugs took easily to the suggesting that he or she was a zombi, too, and acted accordingly.
