Why I Love Halloween

Long time readers of this blog will know that I have a love of Halloween. Some of you have asked "why". So, this week I will try to explain my love of this holiday.It should be no surprise to anyone that childhood memories play a role in my love for Halloween. Of course, there are other reasons as well.

First, it was the only holiday that wasn't in someway ruined by members for my family. My parents didn't fight over it, my brothers did not do things to make it unpleasant. There was no boring day spent with extended family ending in a bad meal, like so many other holidays. There was just costumes, candy, some time alone going door to door.

Also school was a little less torturous during Halloween. School was a kind of psychological torture for me, from the first day of kindergarten to final day of high school. While my grades were good, I hated everyone, everything, and every moment spent in school. However on Halloween it wasn't so bad. The teachers didn't seem as suicidal and incompetent. It was the one day I wasn't the most outcast among the students, on Halloween that "honor" went to the kid with no costume (likely the child of fundamentalists).

Now that was all a long time ago. In adult life I have found more reasons to love Halloween. From the various hooker outfits that women wear on Halloween, to the cheap candy you can get on the first of November. Plus it seems to be the only barrier to Christmas taking over more of the year than it already has.

There is much more I could say on this subject. However, most of it is either too personal, or too depressing, for this outlet. Thanks for reading. Next week will be a bit more funny, and a lot less personal.

End of the Year.

Christmas is over and the new year is coming. There is time enough for only one more post this year, and it is a double post of sorts. The first part is a list of the few things that didn't piss me off this year, and the other is a list of things I look forward too in the next year. Sorry for the large amount of lists lately, and sorry for the lack of rage in this post.


TOP FIVE THINGS THAT DIDN'T PISS ME OFF THIS YEAR

5. Starting this blog.

Finally a place for my insane rants to have a home.

4. Sluts

They are doing the lord's work.

3. The video game industry.

This was a great year in games. I won't bother to list them all, but no matter what you were into there was something great released for you. The only real disappointment was a certain Duke...

2. Conrad Murray.

A pedophile is dead, and that always makes me smile. Not sure  why he was on trial, seems like a parade would be more fitting for the public service he rendered.

1. The readers and followers of this blog.

Everyone that takes time to read this. I read every comment posted, and look forward to whatever feedback I get. It means a lot to see anyone reading this, thank you for coming and coming back.

TOP FIVE THINGS I WANT OUT OF NEXT YEAR

5. Break 100 Followers.

Tell your friends.

4. Find a job.

3. New Venture Brothers.

Love that show, but the production time is getting me down.

2. Getting this years games cheap on Steam.

Just need to wait for the Summer Sale...

1. Cash a check from Google.

I think most of the people here share this dream.
