Yay It's Halloween Time!

'Your Ghost'
-Greg Laswell

Well I back after my rockin awesome weekend in LA chasing graves and art museums with Roxie and Ruben, two of the high school friends I still chat with regularly (except Molly is part of that category) from my Reno high school days. I have loads of pictures to share with you but I am still sorting through them. until I post them and tell of my trip/work event I want to post about my love of Halloween.

So my costume idea changed once I went to Dia de los Meurtos (Day of the Dead) in LA this last weekend. Instead I went tonight to the singles dance/corn maze as the above photo. Can I just tell you that Christmas is my all time favorite holiday but then Halloween is the next favorite. Growing up we were not allowed to dress up and trick or treat as the Pentecostal church we belonged to programed us to believe it was Evil and full of SATAN worship. Well once we moved to Reno from Colorado after my parents divorced we soon started to participate and it became my favorite time of the year, like I said after Christmas.

I got a 4 minute lecture at the corn maze that "it's nice you painted your face but you can't scare any kids. We have families that are out there to and if you scare anyone you will be kicked out and asked to not come back for the entire nite." I told her I had no intentions of this but she practically repeated it again to me. I understand but like I told my friends I wonder how long she and her coworkers debated who would tell me and what to tell me. Let's just say she must have drawn the shortest straw and she made me laugh. Thanks farm girl of St. George I got a good laugh tonight.

I love that I can "legally," in terms of the mental hospital people dress up and be whoever or whatever I want for the month of October. Yes I said the 'MONTH.' Granted I usually only go out and dress up the week leading up to the 31st. Seriously I want to hold a costume party at least once every quarter next year! I think that will be fun! So here I am going to the store after the event tonight and the kid bagging my groceries asked me if I thought it was too early to dress up. I told him proudly no and that this whole month is Halloween and you can have multiple parties. Well the lady behind the register must not agree with this All Hallows Eve as she said "it sure does bring out everyone and all kinds." She said it sarcastically and bothered. I'm sorry don't rain on my parade!

Here are my rules and issues in regards to Halloween.

1. Whatever Asian/black/Indian girl I marry she has to love this holiday. No pooping out on this time. It's fun get into it and have some fun!

2. Watch the Roseanne Halloween specials. I freakn love them, especially the first few, classic!

3. Host a party and make it good.

4. Don't be cheap on the candy you hand out.

5. When buying a house check to see if there alot of kids in the area. That way if you don't want to hand out candy you can choose not to live there. Let someone who wants to participate live there. Otherwise I may teach my future kids to egg your kinds of houses. (Gawdun's don't get caught)

6. Trick or treat. If your too old take some one who isn't, this is good if you aren't having or invited to a party. You can still dress up. Last year was the first Halloween I was part of after the mission and even though I knew nobody I still took my brother out and dressed up.

I went as the high school version of the joker who was also on the croquet team pre villain days.

Well that is my rules and thoughts on this time of year. Go out and have some fun!
