use the force, get girls

Sometimes this blog writes itself. On Saturday I took the kiddo to the comic store. In walks a goth looking guy and his cute goth girlfriend. He walks up to the counter and asks ‘let me see your light sabers, I’m working on a collection and I’m one short’ A lot’s changed since I was a Star Wars freak, in my time there were no hot girlfriends for us. Pretty much we’d be home playing with our light sabers on a Saturday night.

In sports all my teams lost. While it’s true losers get lucky sometimes, mostly we just lose, that’s why we’re called losers.

Friday night I was home alone, I got out of work too late for my game, and had no backup plan. I missed connections with friends on Sat, and Sun evenings. So Monday was an unwelcome arrival, more so than usual.

Everyone gets pissed when I say Halloween is over-rated, it doesn’t mean I don’t like it, but there can be little debate it’s over-hyped, over-marketed, and over-rated.

I’m gonna go play with my light saber.

I'm not sure overrated is the right word.

Over-hyped and overmarketed? Sure. But that's every holiday.

The reason Halloween kicks so much ass for me is that it's the precursor to best time of year. Which I alwaysss overrate in my mind.

I always tell myself that this year is going to be the best holiday season ever. That I am going to savor it more than I have in the past. Take it all in and not try and make it come faster. (ok, that last part was semi-nasty)

And every year after the holidays, I tell myself, I got all hyped up for this?


Excuse me while I go to my own blog and tell myself how much I love this time of year.
