It's THAT day. The big gay holiday.
It's been a long time since I've dressed up for Halloween, and that's ok. If I were more creative, it might be more fun to do so. For the most part, I am not.
It's not like we get invited to costume parties - and that is honestly ok.
I shan't dress up this evening to hand out candy either. The kids might like it if I do. Some of the neighbors might as well. One, Sam, says he has a new costume he'll be sporting when he takes his daughter out. Last year he was a jouster or knight or something. The dude has a serious Pedro Pascal vibe going on and I'm down with it.
710 got the candy this year. Most everything has nuts in it, which is great, because I won't eat it. Chinese food should have nuts in it - the rest of foods and desserts and candy, it should not. I get many don't see it my way, but I'm never eating your peanut M&Ms either.
Last year I posted the below on FB......
Honestly, it has stuck with me ever since. I think about this a lot.
At the point I got it, the question / post was probably rhetorical. But as I'm guessing I have a post of a post of a post, maybe at some time it was an actual posed question.
In the original, I can only imagine the small-minded people who would argue such a point. But really - why don't we?
I used to loathe the 17-19 year olds who'd come up and take candy. You know, if I have enough, what the fuck do I care? Please have some. I hope they enjoy it. I hope they have a good day
Still the above is an incredible life-lesson that applies to most situations in most parts of the world. We could all be more like this - and also be the beneficiaries of this as well.

Great life message, and if you wear the costume above, more people will ring your bell.
ReplyDeleteI quit handing out treats when practically every child I’m in my neighborhood said they were allergic to chocolate or peanuts . Good luck with peanut M&Ms .
