My Time Zone

Once again, like obedient little soldiers, we've changed our clocks back 1 hour. Why? Because the government said so.

With the arrival of standard time the big lie returns: We got to sleep an extra hour. No WE didn't! Who came up with that crap? There were 24 hours in each day before and after this exercise in futility. We won't lose an hour when daylight savings time returns either. I hate to break it to you- no, that's not true, I love to set people straight.

I don't enjoy darkness at 5 PM. When it's dark so early I put my pjs on. Once I have my pjs on I get sleepy and go to bed. That means I awake at 4 AM. Guess what? It's STILL dark! It's like living in a bat cave.

Beginning next spring I will refuse to change my clocks either forward or backwards. Hawaii and Arizona don't change their clocks, why do I have to? In fact, I'm going to choose my own time zone. I will call it the Whatever The Hell Time I Want It To Be Timezone.
