Halloween...you and i are officially over.
As a kid, anticipating the deluge of forbidden sugar was enough to overcome my anxieties about finding a costume, as well as numb my young brain to the fact that Halloween is a pointless "holiday" whose background has little/nothing to do with the Halloween of today. As i got older, i recognized a conflict within, but being the weak-minded sheep that i am, i continued to go with the flow of the day.
"Gosh i hate coming up with a costume for a pointless holiday." i'd think. "But all my friends are doing this or that; and besides, everyone who's anyone does something on Halloween...right?"
Don't get me wrong. i'm not going to condemn people i know for wanting to go out, or dress up, or have a party, or do whatever on October 31st. i "celebrated" it all these years past and let's be honest, if you're a live human residing in the U.S., the day is just inescapable. All i know is i'm tired of getting caught up in this Halloween insanity, and i'm certainly not going to be one of the Americans slated to spend a combined $5 billion on Halloween this year.

aww cheryl.. "I've never really liked it"? that's a bit harsh isn't it?
by the way, you make a sexy/scary chola. (the same sexy/scary that Scary Spice has goin for her). ::wink wink::
Dress up as a ghost. That's cheap enough.
Haha oh Jerry. i must admit, last year was fun. And you make a very convincing deadbeat Asian gangster boy. Wait, Scary Spice?? That's not a compliment!
And James, yeah dressing up as a ghost is pretty cost effective... Almost as cost effective as dressing up in a Manchester United jersey that you already own.
