Been out of the blogosphere a while. Old spot needed a revamp, so here goes Volume III.

I'll write a little bit here and there; want to try it a weekly thing. I always touch on sports, when what I follow's playing. But there's more to me than just that.

Any curiosities or rants you want to hear? Make sure to drop me a message on Twitter or Facebook!

Walkers, and Zombies, and Bears; Oh My!

Executive producer and director explains The Walking Dead's use of the term "walker" as opposed to "zombie."

The literal definition if zombie is a Haitian term for a person who is being controlled by voodoo.

George Romero was the first to bring about the use of the term "zombie" in pop culture, although the fans of his Night of the Living Dead (1968) were the ones who applied the term to his reanimated corpses.

This is why you will never hear characters within The Walking Dead use the term "zombie" to refer to the endless scores of bad guys they battle through every episode. Their scriptwriters are very cautious of that.
