It’s all about me, you know …

I was going to write an entry all about me, you know, how cute I am, how wonderful I am, how much better looking I am than everyone around me, how people need to start paying attention to me. Erm. Well, first off, it wouldnt be true, but secondly, I have a feeling my readers my start to think I have a big ego. That they might start to think I’m full of myself. That they might think I forgot where I came from and why they started reading in the first place. Nah. I wouldnt write an entry like that. Self-serving, much?

So, the big day has finally arrived. It’s Halloween. The day all the parents dress their little shit disturbers up in freaky costumes and let them run wild on the streets collecting candy from strangers. Um, but weren’t we always taught not to accept candy from strangers. Well, most parents these days barely let their kids go to the neighbors house, let alone to a complete strangers house. I’ve noticed it. The last decade or so, we hardly get any little kids trick or treating. It’s mostly the goofball kids who are in junior high, just out for some free candy. I think my final year of trick or treat was in sixth grade. I was starting to feel stupid all dressed up but my sister was two grades lower and wanted to, so I did it.

So Halloween isn’t what it used to be. Now the news is reporting that we need to be prepared for new terrorist threats coming this week, even today. I’m sure you all got that email that was going around about how malls would be a target on Halloween night. Probably a hoax, but do you really want to take a chance with it. I know personally that stepping in a mall tonight is the last thing I plan to do.

And it’s not just the malls, but also the threat of anthrax going around. Okay, so it’s being sent through the mail, right. Think about this. It’s halloween, and kids are going around grabbing candy from all sorts of random people. Who’s to say that some of those packages of candy won’t have a trace of anthrax in them to get all sorts of kids sick, maybe even their parents. Scary times out there, I’m telling you.

The next couple of weekends are packed with things to do. I guess the holiday season has officially begun. This is the time of year that malls get busy with people shopping for christmas and your weekends begin to get filled with holiday parties. Of course, its only Halloween today, but the day after seems to signal the official start of the holiday season around here, at least.

It used to be the day after Thanksgiving that the christmas stuff would go up in the malls and stores. Afterall, the day after Thanksgiving was the official start of christmastime. Then, a few years ago it started to inch itself closer and closer to Halloween. Now, they just totally bypass Thanksgiving, like it doesnt exist and skip right to Christmas. November 1st, if you dont see them already, the christmas trees will start to show up, the decorations will go out and the sounds of Christmas will begin to take over. I dont know what happened. You know its the merchants that are doing it. Afterall, the greedy bloodsuckers just want more money out of us and they figure if they start Christmas a month early, they’ll make all that much more money. Hmmph, I think with the economy the way it is, we all have a big surprise for them this year.

Anyhow, right about December 26th, I’m really ready for it all to be over. Of course, I usually dont actually take down the decorations until January 1st or 2nd. It’s kind of a tradition at this point.
