Planning For An Apocalypse

Are you planning or thinking about planning?

Apocalypse, a word we hear too often in 2018, and a lot in 2017 and the year before that, and before that. Pretty much for the last few decades, it has grown to be more and more commonplace. Whether it will be by some crazy mutated disease, nuclear war, asteroid, alien invasion! Or a so-called-Zombie Apocalypse. You ask just about anyone, and most will surprise you with their "plan" in case something happens.

I have heard a lot of people respond with something similar too " I will grab my guns and head to a Walmart or Store, and set up camp on." Or "Go to the nearest Walmart and stock up on supplies." And even "Plan? I am not telling you what it is except I am prepared." With having a plan and being ready already such a big thing to a lot of people, shouldn't your plan include knowing that others have these types of plans?

I suggest planning ahead if you chose to have a plan or worry about such things. But, plan ahead that, others will panic, survival will take over, and self-preservation will activate in the large majority of the population. People will flock to the stores and harm each other in the process to take what they need, especially when the real panic sets in. So, you either want to have supplies and stuff already on hand or you want to have basics and have a plan as to how to get things.

I won't lie to you, I myself have a plan for in case something happens to where I feel I have to protect my family. I am not going to go into great details as it is my plan. But, it is something to think about. Its right up there with having an escape plan from your home in case of a fire. Accept this plan is all about what you might do in case the world plunges into chaos, and it potentially reaches your town or front door.

With multiple governments and government agencies around the world with their own various apocalypse plans, it truly may not be a bad idea to think about one for yourself and family. More as a just-in-case sort of measure. But, if you get into it and become a doomsday prepare then more power to you. Whatever floats your boat as they might say; and whatever you plan might be, just be sure to really think it out. People will also be planning; others will be in a chaotic survival mode and flock for supplies. I would not recommend flocking to the nearest store or station to join the mad rush for supplies. Either have some ready or be prepared to wait things out a bit while the chaos moves on or settles down. Remember your priority is safety for yourself and your family.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
