Happy Halloween... Baby
Well, the Dark Time is upon us again... and this time it really IS the Dark Time - the sun fades out of my life as the clocks are forced to surrender the light, and we bind their hands with our archaic custom of screwing with our circadian rhythms... and this coinciding with the misty morning hours of Samhain, the pomp and party that ushers in the Dark Time of the year, and me, still awake, with the knowledge that my clock cannot be reset, and I will spend the next six months in near total darkness, my only companion the bitter, unrelenting, and lifeless cold.
But for the moment I get one last hoorah - wake up to a sleepy sunday morning of Count Chocula and Addams Family Marathon; green Christmas lights and candles strewn about the damp crypt I live in, to be lit at dusk and bring me some sense of fantasy and magic in this mundane suburban sprawl; and an evening spent with my own personal Omega Serpent watching kitch horror movies and old episodes of Angel, and eating until I am unrecognizable the new "Doublemelt" pizza from Dominos, which I can only describe by revealing the secret that it is in fact stuffed with GOD.
And that is all I really have to say for now, other than to wish you all a Happy Samhain, whatever your ritual, and leave you with some of the most horrifying images I have ever seen in the hopes that you will think of them often today... and scream.
