Happily On the Evil Side

This morning when I was still half asleep, my beloved cat bit me in the heel and woke me up. I kicked him hard in the stomach, to my own surprise. But not his. Tim is probably better acquainted to my tempers than myself.
I would often act like an angel at night. I would lean my head towards him and he would lick my forehead and chew my hair. I call it love. Sometimes we would play cat and dog, me chasing and Tim hiding and crawling back and biting at times. I call it love too.But there are times when Tim`s bite is not opportune at all, like this morning. So he got a kick in the stomach. Did he deserve it?Maybe Tim didn`t even ask himself the question. Animal logic is very simple. "Human beings are always right". But human ethic is much more complicated. Was I to blame for kicking my cat and scaring him?I`m now in the office and start working for the up-coming Halloween promotion. But I find myself regretting what I did to Tim.Of course I love Tim. He`s much more than a cat. He`s a cat that`s as friendly and playful as a dog. Which makes him more than just my best friend. I admire his beauty. And how he unreservedly shows his emotions when he`s hungry.Then why did I kick him in the stomach. Hard.Maybe its because Halloween`s coming. Maybe I`m under some spell. Or maybe some spirit just possesses my mind at times.Then I got a newsletter from www.audio4fun.com. I`ve subscribed to them for quite a while, since I got interested in a software called AV Voice Changer Software, which morphs your voice to extremes like "robot voice" or "fabulous creatures".Now they invite me to join a Phantom Voice Contest. They want me to sing the line "The phantom of the opera is there, inside your mind" and win prizes on the occasion of Halloween.This immediately has a positive effect on me. So I`m not that bad for kicking my poor Tim in the stomach.I could have been worse. I could have been a haunting phantom voice that insists on seizing someone else soul.I have to thank www.audio4fun.com for their "weird" products and events so I feel like I`m not alone on the evil side. And those who created Halloween so I have something to blame.And Tim will get his compensation. I will buy him a live mouse this Halloween.Maybe I will change my mind. Maybe this article is written under the spell of some "dark force".But I just want to drive this point: should you ever find yourself on the evil side, be happy with it. That would make the matter much simpler.About author:Jimmy Tiep is a freelance journalist and copywriter. He writes about sports, ads, human insights, etc... He`s contactable at media@audio4fun.com
