Many people
have asked me about “that whole VIVOS thing” with the underground shelter and
the apocalypse, etc. I have been rather
quiet about it of late because, well, there hasn’t been too much to share. But the winds of change are upon us and I
have some amazing news. One, the Indiana
shelter is online. This means that it is
complete and ready for boarding. You can
take a visual tour here: www.TerraVivos.com/indiana.htm. The décor has me a little perplexed – because
I think that they could have foregone the checkerboard motif and went with
something a little more timely, since it could be the last existing home for
mankind. Kudos, however, on the use of
granite and what looks to be Kohler faucets throughout the facility.
The family
sleeping quarters are compact – I mean, even Ikea couldn’t provide a sense of
spaciousness in there – so I call top bunk in advance. I get a real sense of “District 13” about the
place. Maybe Vivos ought to cash in on
that idea and get some “May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor” action. I am not so sure the designers got the memo
that said “We are going to be underground for a year – make it look less like
my basement and more like the main floor.”
Still, I won’t complain. The
Nebraska Shelter will be far larger and quite a bit nicer . . . I have it on
good authority.
So the
Indiana shelter was good news – but this is better. Pilgrim Studios, the Reality Show EXPERTS,
want to do a reality series on Vivos and there has been a casting call which
includes a family membership to the shelter of my choice. I say “my” because I sent in my written
application and feel that it has just enough “underlying crazy-factor” in it to
attract the attention of the producers.
Well, if not the producers, then Vivos, because they need at least one
person who appears to be semi-normal on their little show if they want to sell
spots. I am that girl! I have included my application for the series
below. Let me know what you think.
The risks ahead for mankind are too
numerous to count. You have crazy people
who want to control overpopulation by releasing bio-hazards into the water or
air. There are melting ice caps and
fragile fault lines. Seriously, how can
we not expect catastrophe? And we know
that we cannot count on the world's governments to help us out . . . they can't
even keep their everyday life under control.
The Vivos shelters are mankind's most viable hope for a future.
I am a great candidate for the series
and Vivos because I enjoy the challenges that accompany changing life
responsibilities and have always been able to quickly identify and overcome
learning curves. I have no fear of
speaking my mind and am willing to open my life to the viewers of this
forward-thinking television series. I am
a stickler for details and don't eat very much.
I will bring a variety of skill sets and talents which will make shelter
life better for everyone. I have a
history degree and can recite historical facts from memory, meaning we will be
able to maintain the integrity of our past through the teaching of this
information to future generations. I
also have a minor in English Literature and am working on my Paralegal degree
which should be completed before December 2012.
My intellect and genius IQ will provide
a genetic advantage to the geneticists and reproductive experts who are also
housed in the shelter. I am also in the
process of learning how to care for and use multiple weapons; both for food
resources and to defend our shelter from enemies, both foreign and
domestic. I take the survival of the
human race very seriously and will do anything necessary to contribute to the
success of the Vivos shelter. Plus, I do
not believe in the Zombie Apocalypse, which is utter nonsense.
My Myers-Briggs classification is: INTJ
My StrengthsFinder© Signature Themes
are: 1) Intellection; 2) Input; 3) Strategic; 4) Responsibility; 5) Learner
If I am selected for this series, I
know that Vivos will be portrayed in a positive manner.
If they
don’t pick me, I have to find a new way to secure my spots since I don’t have
the cash readily on hand to actually pay for my 4 reserved spots. They will eventually want my money – and I
have to find the shelter location on my own or I have to pay them. I am hoping for the former. Wish me luck – and as the slogan goes: “We wish you the best of luck in whatever the
future may bring. Remember, it wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.”
PERSONAL NOTE: Yes, one of the spots is still yours.
CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Tell him that we can make an Anakin one
together if he wants. I’ll show him
how. It’d be fun!
