halloween

Seriously, what is it about this "holiday" anyway? For a lot of people, it just never gets old. Which is totally fine, I mean, why not. And I suppose I can see why: when you're little, it's fun to get dressed up. And it's fun to get free candy. Then a little later on, especially if you're a boy, it's fun to indulge your inner pyromaniac. Light shit on fire and whatnot. Later still, it's fun to go to parties and get drunk. And get dressed up again. Circle of life, or circle of the undead maybe. Whatever floats your boat.

It's a warzone outside of our house. Non-stop bright flashes and explosions ranging from continuous crackling to plain huge BOOMs. I just saw someone shoot off a flare, and that was cool - in a non-boat-safe kind of way. Watching it fall back to Earth, burning and leaving a smokey com-trail. I feel strangely inspired.

Anyway, main thing is be safe, kids. And if you have to check out that weird noise in the basement, for God's sake, don't go alone!
