“Chiller” in the Morning
“I DON’T SUFFER FROM INSANITY, I enjoy every minute of it!”
As if it weren’t enough that I live deep out in the woods, where things could be scary if I let it bother me, I start my day by watching “Chiller” on TV. If you are not familiar with this channel, it’s 24-7 scary, gory stuff.
Shows like “Tales from the Dark Side,” “Freaky Links”, “Tales from the Crypt,” and many more. I wake up around 5 a.m. and start my day with “Freddie’s Nightmares”. You may know Freddie Kruger - the “Nightmare on Elm Street” fellow with the knives attached to his fingers. Well, I figure if I can watch creepy stuff first thing in the morning, my day can only get better from there! A good dose of horror and mayhem gets the blood pumping and the heart thumping.
I follow that up with an equally scary hour of local and national news. Now THAT scares me! Somebody always got shot or stabbed, or killed their whole family because they lost their job. Thousands more lost their jobs this week - that should scare any American who is old enough to understand what’s going on. When the newscaster gets to the Sports section of the morning report, now that always makes me cringe. Either some coach or some player of football or basketball has just been given millions of dollars - millions of dollars to coach or play a sport. And I’m not just down on sports, movie stars and celebrities are paid millions of dollars to appear in movies which are so full of garbage, I don’t even want my dogs to watch.
Somebody just jerked my soap box out from under me, so I’ll get back to the subject. Give me Freddie in the morning anytime. At least you know that he’s going to get you, unlike the government that pats you on the head with one hand while they prepare to squash you like a bug with the other.
Try my theory! Scare yourself silly in the morning, and the rest of the day will be a breeze!
