 scared and scarred. Friday, October 30, 2009 halloween on a saturday...reminds me of the 'good 'ol days' of trick or treating and dressing up and all that good stuff. i don't think i have legitimately dressed up for halloween for about 16 years...wow, that is a long time...last time i dressed up i was a shaved head Charles Manson...classy i know. nowadays halloween is second only to xmas in decorations and money spent. it's a little silly really. walk into your retail chain of choice and there's $50 costumes and $9 bags of ReesesTM but little 'soul' when it comes to the best part of the holiday. the scary stuff. talk about being numb to it, you can't let your kids go out alone, hell some of you just trick or treat in the parking lot at your mega church from the rear of your SUVs. along with the commercialization has come the 'laming' of a great holiday. i don't kids care as much about it as adults do. there's always drunken parties filled with slutty versions of whatever occupational uniform you can find. slutty nurse, slutty fireman, slutty teacher, slutty slut...that's all this thing has turned into. i'm cool with it but at the risk of sounding like i'm really old..it just ain't what it used to be. if you run into me halloween, i'll be the slutty papaw. skeleboy.
