I haven't written in a while, but today was a special day. July the 3rd, the day of silence... When I went to work today, it was as if the zombie holocaust had occured... three years ago. There was no one on campus. Just the occasional crying child and his/her BYU alumni parents admiring a statue of fake children... reminiscing (unboutably of that special time when children to them were about as real as the lifeless sculptured depictions that they are now staring at with almost idyllic fondness) Anyways, zombies and children aside, I made it to work and luckily had someone to talk to. On my way home, I made several stops, but thanks to technology, I didn't have to talk to anyone, and thanks to a public holiday, I couldn't pay my rent. The rest of the day was spent in an eerie silence. No one was home in my apartment, or in the complex for that matter. Furthermore, my roomate disabled the sound on the tv somehow, and so there was no hope of any virtual company. Days like this really make you think... about life in a post apocalyptic nightmare world where not even robots will be your friend... though at least they won't try to eat you, which is an unfortunate consequence of socializing with zombies.
