Hallow's Over

But under-par.

I wandered with an old friend, for lack of anything better.

Purple wigs, sour expressions, men dressed as superman and women dressed as whores. What happened to Halloween?

Nothing but another excuse to get drunk, in this city..

It was more fun in a virtual world, to sit back and watch a few hours of Dead Space well-played, far more fitting. But I don't want a world where I hide in a virtual representation of fiction because the real thing is an alcohol-soaked mess.

How can I change the world, to make it what I believe it should be?

Oh, and what a welcome home. A new acquaintance, initially bright and chipper, soon descends to questioning me on why I don't have a job, before departing with the sharp retort "You are a disturbed young man, who needs a big wake-up call.".. This, from a woman who defines her life by earning money, who justifies her 'right to live' by the fact she has a job. She told me these things.

Sparked a true explosion of anger, did that one.. It was painful, but it felt good. I haven't exploded in all too long. I should do it more, the flavour is sour but the aftertaste is.. So enlightening.

I feel like I've been asleep for months, wrapped up in people's repetitive emotional problems and too much computer gaming. It's good to be awake again.

God fucking damn it all, this world needs changing...

Hallow's Even

Hallow's Odd.

Ahoy there. My first post, made the day before Halloween 2008. Possibly my last, too; I sought a place to post my thoughts as and when I wish to, and this appeared the most.. Accessible.

I'm confused and dismayed by this holiday. Or perhaps by those who celebrate it - What has alcoholic stupidity and staggering around dressed as a cowboy or a doctor, a pirate or a fairy to do with this season? Like all others, merely another unnecessary and unsuitable excuse to drink in excess and be fools..

This is a night of freedom from tradition, of life and death mixed together, to appreciate what you've got and to -change-.. Anarchy and mutation, evolution and excitement, and a time to feed imaginations and feel fear like we once did.

If only someone else thought so, I might have something to do tomorrow *grins*

Looks like lonely wandering, draped in gore and festooned with ropes, for me.
