well i'm not back from the dead (not sure how a zombie would be able to keep a blog) but i am back from being MIA from this blog.
I'm taking a little break from WoW, been so for a couple of months now, getting all rested up before the big expansion release coming up!!!
I have been doing another type of gaming in it's place... miniature war gaming with Warhammer 40k. I think i might be addicted haha. I'm playing with a Ork army, games been 1500 and 2000 points. I'm still learning a lot but getting it all down. Its really fun, both playing and painting your army.
In zombie news, who can't wait for 'The Walking Dead' tv show!!! I know I can't but have no fear its almost here! I also saw Resident Evil After Life a few weeks ago, not bad. It was a little better then the last but doesn't really reflect any of the games story like the others but I still enjoyed it. Also, Survival of the Dead is finally out! I saw it awhile back on Verizon fios, they had it on demand before you can see it in theaters and now its on DVD. I got the special edition (from Canada) and now my '.... Of the Dead' films are complete once again until GAR releases his next one. GAR said in a interview that he does plan on at least 2 more being made, hopefully.
If anyone out there still reads this blog, let me know by leave some comments. I am going to bring this blog back to life... just gotta do some dusting around here, its been awhile.

World of Warcrack
well, i've been on WoW trying to lv up my main and others. I also made another toon, a blood elf warlock named Rastenlin (try to guess where i got that idea, they wouldn't let me use the real name of this person so i did something close)
I'm still waiting for my parts for the 360... once i get them (hopefully today) i'll work on it asap. Cross your fingers... i really want to play street fighter 4 (my ranking has most likely dropped.. (>.<) ) and Left 4 Dead.

THE
REAL
STORY OF THANKSGIVING
by Susan Bates
Most of us associate the holiday with happy Pilgrims and Indians sitting down to a big feast. And that did happen - once.
The story began in 1614 when a band of English explorers sailed home to England with a ship full of Patuxet Indians bound for slavery. They left behind smallpox which virtually wiped out those who had escaped. By the time the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay they found only one living Patuxet Indian, a man named Squanto who had survived slavery in England and knew their language. He taught them to grow corn and to fish, and negotiated a peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Nation. At the end of their first year, the Pilgrims held a great feast honoring Squanto and the Wampanoags.
But as word spread in England about the paradise to be found in the new world, religious zealots called Puritans began arriving by the boat load. Finding no fences around the land, they considered it to be in the public domain. Joined by other British settlers, they seized land, capturing strong young Natives for slaves and killing the rest. But the Pequot Nation had not agreed to the peace treaty Squanto had negotiated and they fought back. The Pequot War was one of the bloodiest Indian wars ever fought.
In 1637 near present day Groton, Connecticut, over 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe had gathered for their annual Green Corn Festival which is our Thanksgiving celebration. In the predawn hours the sleeping Indians were surrounded by English and Dutch mercenaries who ordered them to come outside. Those who came out were shot or clubbed to death while the terrified women and children who huddled inside the longhouse were burned alive. The next day the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared "A Day Of Thanksgiving" because 700 unarmed men, women and children had been murdered.
Cheered by their "victory", the brave colonists and their Indian allies attacked village after village. Women and children over 14 were sold into slavery while the rest were murdered. Boats loaded with a many as 500 slaves regularly left the ports of New England. Bounties were paid for Indian scalps to encourage as many deaths as possible.
Following an especially successful raid against the Pequot in what is now Stamford, Connecticut, the churches announced a second day of "thanksgiving" to celebrate victory over the heathen savages. During the feasting, the hacked off heads of Natives were kicked through the streets like soccer balls. Even the friendly Wampanoag did not escape the madness. Their chief was beheaded, and his head impaled on a pole in Plymouth, Massachusetts -- where it remained on display for 24 years.
The killings became more and more frenzied, with days of thanksgiving feasts being held after each successful massacre. George Washington finally suggested that only one day of Thanksgiving per year be set aside instead of celebrating each and every massacre. Later Abraham Lincoln decreed Thanksgiving Day to be a legal national holiday during the Civil War -- on the same day he ordered troops to march against the starving Sioux in Minnesota.
This story doesn't have quite the same fuzzy feelings associated with it as the one where the Indians and Pilgrims are all sitting down together at the big feast. But we need to learn our true history so it won't ever be repeated. Next Thanksgiving, when you gather with your loved ones to Thank God for all your blessings, think about those people who only wanted to live their lives and raise their families. They, also took time out to say "thank you" to Creator for all their blessings.
