You're older when

I don't quite know how this transition happened, but for the last 3 years my halloweens have been rushed, last minute or complete duds. I work too fucking much to enjoy the holiday that was meant to be the most fun for both adults and kids alike. Seriously, I used to get dressed up in kick ass costumes that were either really creative or really ( Read more... )

Ha! Wait 'till you have kids! There's a lot more work in store just to have a little fun. But you get to become immature again thru the little critters....

I hear ya dude. For the last few years I've been working on Halloween too, and I've just been too tired to have the "oomph" required to make the most of it. I still keep PROMISING myself "next year, I'll really decorate, and I'll find a friggin AMAZING costume 5 months ahead, and I'll have my own party or at least bring something fabulous to someone else's party and bla bla bla bla bla... Instead I get home late, hungry, tired, disgruntled, and hating the fact that I'm downstairs manning the door for trick or treaters. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE seeing how friggin cute some of the little ones are, or how spiffy the older kids think they are, but JEEZUS. If it weren't just one night a year, I'd really rather have been in sweatpants upstairs being comfy ( ... )

Isn't it supposed to be a bit of a religious holiday for you as well? It's supposed to be that way for Heidi and her family, but it seems like it always gets overlooked. That's a good thing, since I wouldn't want to see many of her family dancing around a bonfire all skyclad and such... pardon me while I shudder!

lol, yeah, the new year. I'm not terribly religious about it anymore. Actually, I was never huge on the holidays. I sorta feel like I'm just passing through trying to observe the seasons with as much reverence as possible while maintaining normal life of modern work-exhausted blah.
As far as skyclad goes, I WAS thinking a lot the other day about how much I want to get the whole backyard fenced in so I CAN have an opportunity to dance naked around a bonfire for at least once in my life; just for giggles and shits and likely involving a bottle of wine...

Jeezum.. about the only time that I've ever done things that involved relinquishing my clothing has always revolved around the consumption of large amounts of alcohol. Thank god noone was ever around for those events with a camera! I've got a fire pit up here and no neighbors around for nearly a 1/4 of a mile, but it's cold as all fuck now, so don't visit until the spring! You & Heidi can get all Pagan and have a blast. I'll just help out with the drinking. That's better for every party involved. Noone needs to see that! You can bring the Magic Hat, and I'll supply the Canadian Brew. Canadian Beer rules!
