Taboo

Do you ever get that feeling where your so bored that you think what the point is in everything? Well I do once in a while and its quite depressing, but it does make you think about life from a different point of view. I guess that's why people don't like to talk about death and other taboo subjects for this very reason. 
There are many ways you can think about the world and everything in it. That is if your brave enough. You could say that life is the worst but also the best illness because everyone dies eventually otherwise it's not life. Or that wishing cancer didn't exist was a stupid idea because everyone has to die in some way or another and if all known cancers were cured there would always be something else to worry about. 
Poverty. Its a very vague word. World hunger, homelessness and illness all come into this category. To cure world poverty is impossible. We cure one problem and create another. We save people in Africa and have the overpopulation issues where know one has enough space. I'm not saying they deserve to die but that is part of life. Hard decisions. Without the bad stuff there would be no good stuff.

Vampires

Its so strange how everyone suddenly went vampire and twilight mad. Love em or hate em everyone had an opinion about it. I mean vampires have been around for ages with stories of Dracula and people turning into bats around every corner it is hard to get away from it. to me i only read the first book of the twilight saga and found it quite good but to me nothing extra special. I do like supernatural stuff because theirs that mystery to it that I think everyone craves one way or another.There have been close to real vampires throughout history. One of the first was a Hungarian ruler called Vlad the impaler who as you can guess was famous for impaling thousands of people. He was so influential (not in a good way) that is believed that the famous book "Dracula" was based on Vlad. There wasn't just male "vampires" one of the most famous females vampires was a woman called Elizabeth Bathory, she was said to have murdered over 700 young girls. She believed that blood would make her immortal and youthful and was known to have blood showers where young girls were hung in cages above and bled to death so the blood would fall down like a shower which she would bathe in.


So why are vampires now so commonly put in love stories when history of these mythical beasts so brutal?
