I think we can get things started a little early this weekend, due to the Halloween festivities yall seem to like so much. I think I've written about this before, but Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday for some reason. I don't know, I just never really cared for it. Maybe its the ugly-as-hell color scheme, maybe its the "I pay to get scared" aspect of it- I don't know. But I think we can all agree on the one common theme that Halloween brings to us every year: You can officially make any costume idea in the known universe into a slutty costume idea, and for that I say YAY. So yeah, post slutty costume pics this week. Bonus points for our lovely female members if it's YOUR slutty costume. As for me, I'm taking the little lady to the zoo or something this weekend. While drunk. And dressed slutty! (PS- A very sincere thank you to everyone for your congrats and well wishes this week for my new-awesome-little-life-altering news. I really do appreciate it- even those who wept for the future of society at the mere thought of it)
I feel like this recent Cracked article has some relevance here. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.cracked.com/article_18834_26-sexy-halloween-costumes-that-shouldnt-exist.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.cracked.com/article_18834_26 ... exist.html</a> So this weekend I'll be running a LARP event as I so often do and thus not really doing anything festive per se, though it does involve a lot of dressing up in wacky costumes. Ironically, and my friends always look at me funny when I tell them this, outside of a LARP I hate dressing up. In years past when I hit halloween parties I was the guy dressed in unobtrusive blacks. Go figure.
Our neighborhood made a collective decision to trick or treat tomorrow night rather than Sunday so no one would have to miss any of the Saints game Sunday night.
Day 1 of my 26 day weekend. Started the day with a nice French toast breakfast that my mom made. And freshly squeezed OJ. Moms are the best. And the killer round of Baileys and coffee didn't hurt either.
I'm with BlueDog... I hate Halloween. My aunt is doing a haunted house this year and my mother, like a crazy person, tried to recruit me to be in it. That shit ain't happening. I don't carve pumpkins. I don't do haunted houses. I don't like to dress up in costume. I don't like trick or treaters.* *But I'm not a complete asshole. I'll leave the light on and hand out candy to my 3 or 4 neighbor kids. And I don't know if this is popular anywhere but here but what the fuck is up with Trunk or Treat? It's just... strange.
I don't have cable at my place. I hate the vast majority of the major morning and news shows. That has been further solidified as I'm stuck spending "quality time" with my mom watching the Today show. Worst part is that it's the Halloween special. Just finished the last of the baileys, and that's not helping.
I, for one, love halloween. Not nearly as much as I love Christmas, of course, but it is still one of my favorites. I'm gonna try to get out of work today as early as possible and The Girlfriend and I are going to try to carve some pumpkins tonight. Then its off to the bars. Tomorrow night we are having our second annual Halloween costume party at my house. Last year was a blast, we had a bunch of people show up, so this year I've got high hopes for something similar. At least my costume this year will be much better.
Im at a loss as to what to do this weekend. On sunday do I go to my brothers for a roast with good wine and whiskey or do I go out with my team and the cheeleaders and get all kinds of fucked up despite a 9-6 in university on monday... These are the truly difficult choices in life
Stomach virus hit me this week. That was fun. Within the space of about one minute I went from afebrile to febrile and felt so cold one of my balls actually retracted back into the inguinal canal. What the shit. I also have two exams next week. What fun. I've spent most of my youthful weekend evenings walking home from the library and wondering why there are so many people out on the streets. The good news is only forty-something days of class left.
Nothing screams vacation like sitting in a government lineup waiting to purchase yet another stupidly expensive non-resident deer tag. Crazy dude sitting in front of me. Just after I snagged a pic of him he was glared at by a father of a kid he was chatting up. Holy uncomfortable batman. Will post pic when I get back to my laptop. And why can't the iPhone allow you to upload a pic from it's camera? Lame.
What about wearing Skittles? Skittles? That's for parents who don't trust that their kids can safely go out in the neighborhood where there might lurk pedophiles, hooker vans, TiB members, candy poisoners and so forth. The old "nothing-can-happen-to-my-children-in-a-controlled-environment" idea.
So is the guy in that photo ducking away because he is a) wanted, and hiding his face from a potential id? b) embarrassed he took his Mac to a bar? c) giving a blow job to some dude while surfing gay porn?
Actually, probably not. Since I don't have many kids come, I usually buy a full size assortment of candy bars and M&Ms and let the kids pick. My brother claims whatever is left. Yeah I understand all that and it does make sense. It just pisses me off that this world is that fucked up.
That's Bud Light, isn't it? Please tell me I'm wrong. I only condone it if you will be drinking into the evening.
Anyone in Tuscaloosa want to bring me an aspirin? I'm hungover like sin and don't think there's a drugstore close enough to walk to.
