Today was the start of the 4-day free preview of "BabyFirst TV" on DirecTV channel 293. I must say from I'm seeing, I'm quite enjoying it; though you might look upon me with disdain and disregard it as nonsense, I can't help but be soothed by this innocent programming. Primary colors grace the screen. Unoffensive music lingers on. Numbers, shapes and soon-to-be familiar creatures appear. I see a fish. Somewhere in my mind, there is a smile. To sit back and enjoy these things is something to be appreciated, something apart from a world too accustomed to elements less benevolent.
Flip the channel and something bitter comes back.
Armed men take aim and fire upon one another.
The man screams in pain because of a shattered bone.
A mother murdered her child, they say.
Even in a hockey game someone gets a big sweeping elbow to the face.
So I switch back to channel 293. Nonsense, you say? Oh well.
Just give me these 4 days to ease off a life-yes-harsh and then we can go back to watching August Underground.
On a side note: Go Sharks! It's about time we get the win over Detroit this season. Marleau sure was slick with that winning shootout goal.
