The only thing I feel I can say about today...blah!
It would be different if I could eat the candy, the chocolate and other sweet things. But, I'm not gonna do it. So, there goes one of the few things that makes it worth it.
I know there are others who will decry my lack of sentiment about this 'fun' holiday. But I feel that it is a child's holiday, tailored to them, their wants and desires; gorge on candy for free, dress up in ninja outfits, parties at school with cupcakes and stuff. Overly commercialized, and definitely NOT vegan.
I can't stand putting things like makeup on my face. I feel like a moron dressing up in anything other than my normal clothes.
There are only a few good things about Halloween: seeing the little ones from Nursery in their cute outfits, and carving pumpkins. My pumpkin this year is a cutout of Coach Z. Val's is the 'Eh, Steve!' guy.
I'm sure you're all gonna tell me why I shouldn't be so grumpy, but it's difficult for me to find any reasonable rationale for getting hyped over it.

I won't tell you that you shouldn't be grumpy. I'm only sad to see that you are.
I suppose today is a grumpy day for me. It seems that the day is more tailored towards young children than for middle-aged people.
I suppose I need a better reason to party...
Then again, I don't like to party. I'd rather be somewhere quiet and peaceful...
Man, I'm a grumpy old man, aren't I?
Leah said: Hi little friend! You're getting an earful on this one babe. Soooo, just because Halloween is for kids doesn't mean we can't appreciate its existence. I agree that it HAS become too commercial, but so has Christmas. We ~( I ) used to LOVE Halloween. The candy and Ninja costumes ROCKED. Just cause I'm an old lady who's too old to go, I refuse to hold a grudge. Halloween is actually my favorite holiday. I already can't wait for Christmas to be over. Its all about gifts and money and food. I didn't have ONE(1) trick-or-treater come to the house yesterday. It's just not the same as it used to be. Give it another 10 years and Halloween probably won't even exist, and if it does, maybe you'll have little ones to dress as ninjas! Hyyyy- ya! Love ya babe xoxoxoxxo I dressed up like a Vampire, no face paint, just fangs, fake blood, heavy eye makeup and dressed all in black. You just have to put a fun spin on it, all day, I just dreamed of bleeding people dry- Mwaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha. Ah Yes, Halloween, love it.
I guess I had a grumpy day. I just don't FEEL like dressing up, although a ninja outfit w/ a katana would ROCK!
I remember that day in AZ when I woke up and Dad was wrapped up like a mummy. And then there was that time he hung out in the front yard, dressed like a scarecrow, to scare the feces out of trick-or-treaters when they came up to the door.
I'll do better next year. I promise.
No makeup. No problem. No candy or chocolate...
*whimper*
Vegans can't eat candy or chocolate?
Leah said: Ah Yes, Ninja of the Night!! There's my silly Big Brother!!!!!!!!! Halloween IS a slight disappointment, but I can't give up on it, yet. I also forgot to tell you that, Friday night, "Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!" was on and it was fabulous. It was SO cool to watch it now that I'm older. Poor Linus...
I hear ya though.
You and Ben are SO funny.
Milk chocolate hsa milk, and we don't have the $ to buy dark chocolate. So, we're outta luck.
I guess a lot of my grumpiness stems from lack of funds to be able to participate.
For Leah: *POW!* "You forgot I was a ninja mutha-*&#@er!"
"Hey dude, you still know I won, right?"
"WHOOOAHHH!" .... "whoa"
Leah said: I wanted to thank you for re-freshing the memory of Dad dressed like the mummy in Arizona. I still remember him coming into my room in the dark. What a creepy creature he was! He made it so fun though, didn't he? O.k, Halloween is over, I know, I know...
