Happy Halloween! Sorry I have been awol… GJ is back…again

Published by at 1:47 am under Random Sh-stuff,Rant

Ok Happy Halloween all. I have had a busy weekend so I am sorry this has been a bit delayed… I have a few posts going up in the next day or so (this one a WoW diary-ish type and a Canes recap from Sat night’s game) so stay tuned!

So today was the day I have been waiting for, Halloween! The main reason is I just love how my daughter gets so into dressing up and loves trick or treating almost as much as she loves to just give OUT the candy. Her brother tho, he has been a bit under the weather so he was not too into it just wanted to be in a bad mood and say how he didn’t want to wear the costume, he not even 2 days ago said he “loved”. But his little touch of a cold has him in a poopy mood so eh life goes on. Oh and she was Sleeping Beauty and he was a Dinosaur. Other then for some reason, there was a lot less kids coming around this year, it was pretty uneventful. But I wanted to share a few observations and minor rants I had tonight.

First, if you are going to go out for candy, parents please make sure your kids have some sort of REAL costume please. It’s not hard to come up with SOMETHING creative, and these days the costumes at the stores really aren’t all that expensive. Sure, some are, but if you look you can do many things on the cheap. I don’t even care if the kids wear the same thing every year, I just don’t want to see your kids wearing their in house baseball uniform that has our town’s name on it. Or wearing their school uniform. SLACK, just simply slack (please spare me the people don’t have money crap, I know these families and know their houses and they have 0 excuse). Ok the next pet peeve of mine, is just being a general greedy cheap person. My meaning of this is the people I saw this evening who were out trick or treating with their kids to other houses but them, themselves had NOTHING on their porch and they did not give out candy! WTF spare the 5$ and get a damn bag of candy to give out. I fully understand if you both want to take your kids out and you leave the bowl on the porch for kids to take one themselves. Sure by the time you get back it will prolly be all gone but hey you tried. I saw this twice tonight. One time the couple was out with their kids and no bowl out and the other the husband STAYED HOME, and he just didn’t answer the door, had the porch light out and gave our jack squat. Um give me an egg or 12 please! (Yes I was part of a group of “those” kids when I was younger.. but we only egged houses of people who deserved it. Not the nice people… you know who you are)

Back to a happier note, the other thing I love is for people to see the pumpkins we carved. I know it’s kinda patting myself on the back or some other bad word for it that is escaping my mind right now, but hey like I have said a million times, I have 0 artistic tallent and I cannot even draw a stick figure! So when I finally get something artistic done that actually looks good, well I like to show it off and love it when people compliment it. It gives ya the warm fuzzies! So it was a ton of warm fuzzies tonight when family after family gushed over the pumpkins we did this year. They especially loved the Yoda one which was one of my fav’s as well.

Friday night my best friend The Redheaded Pharmacist and I carved a few pumpkins and then today Mrs GeekJock did a killer one as well (I’ll have to get that pic uploaded tomorrow not sure where the lovely Mrs. has the camera hidden right now). Bellow is the 3 I did, Yoda, Wolvering and Minnie Mouse. Red did Sleeping Beauty and the kick ass Clone Wars Trooper. I hope you like this year’s batch and hope I can find some good stencils for next year as well. If you know of a good shop or site to find good ones please let me know! Enjoy the pics and if you like them by all means please tell me/us. We all could use the warm fuzzies some more!
