“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts. And I looked and behold, a pale horse. And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him”
– Johnny Cash
Well, Halloween was a couple of days ago (as of the day that I’m writing this), and as much as I love this holiday, I hate what comes next.
The ongoing joke is that as soon as the clock strikes from 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM on October 31st, it’s time to get into the Christmas spirit.
Oh,
Joy.
Now I enjoy the Christmas season just as much as anyone…IN DECEMBER, NOT FUCKING NOVEMBER. When November hits, it’s the calm before the storm, it doesn’t matter where you are or what you do….She finds you. Even when you think you’re safe in the sanctity of your home, she finds a way to lurk into every household in the world.
Her voice brings on hell’s demons as they circulate and spread that evil energy. I warn you, grab your loved ones, hold them tight and keep them safe, for this cruel temptress knows no bounds. When those dreaded bells toll, we must prepare ourselves for the war between light and darkness.
The end is nigh folks and may God have mercy on all of us. Watch this video, but beware that only the strong-willed make it back with a story to tell.

Okay, so maybe I’m overreacting a bit, but I can’t be the only one who hates this fucking song. It’s not even just the song, its the fact that people want to get into the Christmas season so prematurely. I work in retail so unfortunately the whole idea of Christmas is ruined by commercialism and employers who like to blast Christmas music every hour of each day. And it all starts with Mariah Carey.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Bah Humbug” right? I said it before, I enjoy Christmas and rewatching all the movies I grew up with. I’m just personally not a fan of how quick everyone is to get into the holiday season. No bull-shit, some people put their Christmas trees up in mid-November, what part of that seems normal??? MEANWHILE EVERYONE RUSHES TO THROW OUT THEIR HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS BECAUSE GOD FORBID YOU HAVE THEM UP FOR MORE THAN 3 SECONDS ON NOVEMBER 1ST. God, it looks like a mob hit the way people just discard their pumpkins on the side of the road all mangled and shit. “Can’t be associated with Halloween” God forbid, meanwhile, people leave their Christmas lights on the roof for the whole year, WHERE’S THE DOUBLE STANDARD, WHAT IS THIS SHAME THAT’S ASSOCIATED WITH HALLOWEEN THAT I’M NOT UNDERSTANDING?
…..
I think we’re forgetting the fact that Michael Bublé is also currently defrosting for the Christmas season as we speak, but nooooo, Mariah Carey is front and center because of that damn song.
……
Anyways, Merry Christmas I guess. Gotta to go with the flow.
“Well, I won’t back down. No I won’t back down. You could stand me up at the gates of Hell. But I won’t back down”
– Johnny Cash, well, technically Tom Petty, but I prefer the Johnny Cash version. To each, their own.
