WALKING DEAD PANDEMIC

 WALKING DEAD PANDEMIC

MJs Thriller album is said to be the best selling music album of all time hitting the highs of 120 million copies. Any music lover of especially pop or classic oldies has some favourite tracks in the album. Billie Jean, Beat it and thriller tracks have sometimes done the magic for me, everytime my ears ich for some old masterpiece tracks. The thriller music video has not stopped to amaze me to date. The 1983 production was a wonder that successfully intertwined music, MJs signature dance moves and horror movie concept into the 14 minutes mark of creativity. Be as it were, criticism came in all forms. Positive was for artistry and cinematic innovation that came into it. Negative was the association with occult and satanism. Foreseen, the producers were keep to place a disclaimer as the video begins, dissociating it from any connection with occultism. Towards the end of the video are the controversial scenes of zombies kicking open their graves to surround MJ and the scared girlfriend before MJ joins them for a dance. As creatures of timeless mythology, zombies are always presented as clumsy, dirty with torn unorderly clothes, deformed faces and crooked body structures that make systematic unstable foward steps towards their destructive targets. Sometimes, the zombies just move around destructively without a particular target. With a target though, the paths towards their targets are usually dealt serious collateral damage and in the case of MJ, the target person is reached through breakages into the wooden door but finally, the target is not destroyed but awakened as from a bad dream. It was only a movie after all. 

The waiting room is almost full but you had booked your appointment online and got in well before the appointment time. After the nurses thing, you are sitting before the doctor waiting for examination but first, need to talk about the symptoms. So you begin explaining, "My alarm is set for 6:00 but I switch it off many times before I wake up. To make it to work on time, I have to run to bathe, make breakfast and run out to catch bus. Many times I get to work late." "I've had endless lateness talks with the boss" "Honestly, many times i don't feel like going to work at all but i have to. I need the money" "I take too long to complete a small task" "I feel like am 120 Kilos though am only 65" "I have no appetite for food. Nothing seems to wake up my taste buds" "I don't like to be with people or people dislike my presence as though i stink and am also scared to be alone" "A day seems like three days combined dragging lazily not seeming to end". The doctor recommends further tests but the symptoms seem like of the new pandemi or so said the doc. 'Walking dead pandemic.' Before the next tests, he recommends Job 14:7 tablets thrice as day, "At least there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail."
