Costumes and Revelations

“What is defeat? Nothing but education, nothing but the first step toward something better.” -Wendell Phillips 

A week ago I went to a theme park with a few pals and it was an interesting time. I discovered that I am not the best with roller coasters, but at the same time I do enjoy carnival rides. The rides just don’t do it for me I guess. All the same, it was an amazing time and it got me to be adventurous. I enjoyed the people I was with, but for some reason all the people at the park had put me off. There were actors at the park trying to scare us and I made fun of them. One guy in a nazi uniform got in my face and tried scaring me so I claimed that he was coming on to me, which pissed him off something fierce. It was pretty damn funny.

 Halloween is a fantastic holiday. Someone once said to me that it is definitely a time for the sexually repressed and those that need an escape. I personally believe that everyone needs an escape, thus the need for Halloween. There was a time when I thought that people dressed as what they wanted to be, but now I find that many people don’t try as much and dress sexually. It’s not so bad, but it gets repetitive. This year I had trouble figuring out what I wanted to be. I kept switching costumes because I wasn’t satisfied. I almost didn’t leave the house. For some reason I feel as though that my time here has made me a bit of a hermit, too afraid to leave the house sometimes. A lot of days I don’t feel like leaving, but the other night the sky caught my eye. The moon was bright and the sky was full of clouds. The clouds, ideal, like the kind you see on wall paper depicting the daytime sky, only the shadows would show with the outline of light. They looked cold and upsetting, but it was ok. Another interesting thing is that  I have been rediscovering Pearl Jam as a band. It would seem that I enjoy them more than I originally thought.

    Going from the “Halloween as escape” idea, perhaps it’s current incarnation is our equivalent of the Roman orgy. It is our release, a time to play, but has it’s own rules.
