So here we are, December 7 and it is starting to feel like
winter here in Oklahoma. It is
COLD. To make matters more enjoyable I
have been sick. I thought I was just
down for a day, but as I look at my phone I realize I missed 3 days of
work. Where has the time gone? I have done a super human amount of
sleeping. Hours and hours of
sleeping. Last night I reached a point
where I could not sleep anymore.
Like any red-blooded American male, I did the only logical
thing, and I turned on the television. I
watched some NCIS, got bored, then deleted dozens of shows off of the dvr, Why as we still recording series when we have
seen all the episodes? I tried some food
network, but even the sight of food had a negative effect on my stomach. So I channel surfed, and as much as I am
reluctant to admit it, I settled on the hallmark channel with its specific
non-stop heavy handed sentimental romantic Christmas movies.
I know, I know, I have been chiding, no, harassing Texas Jay
for overdosing on hallmark Christmas movies starting back in November. So go ahead, judge me. I admit it. I can see
its heavy handed, and contrived and cute, but at the same time… Can I blame it
on the cold medicine?
Because I do not for a minute believe in all that Hollywood
happy ending gingerbread and whipped cream.
I know deep down that the holidays can be hard. Feel free to review last year’s blog entries
for proof of that. I know that no amount
of hope is going to magically change that.
This whole year has been a very long climb out of a dark place.
So keep all of that in mind when I say forgive me if for
just a little while I indulge in this Christmas nonsense? Besides I often
wonder what happened to Dermot Mulroney, Danny Glover and Joan Cusack.
