The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!

Oh damn pumpkins!!! You Scary!!!       
 In my opinion, Fall has to be the best time of the year hands down.  The weather is perfect, the school year has just begun and is still exciting, and last but not least... Halloween!!!!   Oh Halloween, the only good holiday left.  It is the king of the candy receiving holidays with Easter as a close second.  It is a holiday that is fun for the young and the old, the lonely and the amiable, and even the handicapped! Although no one in this world loves and hates this holiday more than moi.

   My earliest memories of Halloween revolve around not being able to have it.  I first remember being raised in the born-again christian colony of Austin, Texas without Halloween and "enjoying" "substitute activities."  These activities included fun filled adventures involving going to bed at 6 pm...eating donuts strung from the ceiling in a garage...and going to church.  Then, I remember the one Halloween spent in a Florida hotel.  My brother and I made up for our lost trick or treating time by going door to door and asking for tiny shampoos and soaps.  From then on I always appreciated and praised stereotypical Halloween traditions.

     My favorite Halloweens so far have to be the years that I spent in Middle school being little stuck up pranksters in our neighborhood.  Although is seems so stupid now, I will always cherish and remember the times I spent feeling invincible and mischievous while preying on unsuspecting rich white folk.  Then, I would have to say that the year I spent working in a haunted house was a real delight that I do reminisce about every once in a while.  Oh freshman year of High school...the strangest year of my life.  Finally, last years Halloween that I spent with my girlfriend Katie Fee(<33333333) and Ms. Alli 'the Gator' Cross was really the best.  I think it showed me that I was turning into an adult and that I needed to get over certain things to have a happier life.

     I don't know what this year holds for me in this season of Hallowed's Eve... but I know for a fact that it will be the best Halloween I've ever been a sheep for.  :  D
