Childhood Fears...Adult Nonesense!


There is a new show on the History channel called UFO hunters. I am watching it while I post. I can't believe the seriousness people show towards UFOs. Personally, I am not a believer in little green men or white beings with bulbous heads and huge black pearly eyes. But that wasn't always the case.

As a small child I was terribly afraid of them. I had nightmares of aliens that would rival the horrer movies on television. I had a very vivid imagination. I blame it all on my parents for watching X files and other alien movies. Can you believe my Dad told me about his own UFO experience....of seeing a fireball in the sky? Not to mention my Uncle who like all crazy Uncle's that are cross-country truck drivers had a few stories.

It got so bad....that when my My cousin bought me a little glow in the dark alien with blue sparkly eyes .... I kept it locked securely in a box in my dressor, because it frightened me. Oh how the tables have turned! Now I am a critical skeptic...that would find it hard to believe even if I saw one myself. Yet...am I truly honest with my self...to date the only three alien movies I have seen are Tommyknockers...Signs...and The War of the Worlds....

Yeah, I guess age does that to you... I guess I haven't really grown up though, coz I still believe in aliens :)

Thanks for dropping by, glad you got a good show from the eclipse tonight.
