halloween has come and gone. fortunately for me, i was out all day, so i didn't have to be exposed to kids asking for candy. i was kinda stunned as i pulled into SB's south parking lot on that day. as i was parking, another car came from the opposite direction. i could've sworn that the driver was dressed up in black face. for those of you that don't know, black face was the type of make-up used for old minstrel shows. basically, any stereotype you've ever heard about black people stressed to its extreme. for further information, see spike lee's movie "bamboozled". anyways, i turned into the next row of cars and there he was again, driving in the opposite direction. i got a better look, and he was actually in "brown face" wearing a red winter hat. i think that guy was very lucky that there weren't any black people at the bus stop at that time, or else he would've been in deep shit.
the rest of the day consisted of watching "halloween" movies on tv, going to class, watching more "halloween" movies, then going to see saw III. in my experience, there are three kinds of scary movies: the ones that make you flinch (for ex., the original texas chainsaw massacre), the ones that make you laugh (for ex., "the leprechaun", and the ones that make absolutely no sense (for ex., "halloween 3: season of the witch"). i sincerely hope no one reading this ever has the opportunity to see halloween 3. if you had the choice of getting kicked in the balls or seeing that movie, take the shot in the nutsack. it really does hurt less. this is what the movie is about, without giving away any plot (because there is none): snakes, masks, microchips, androids, and stone henge. it also has the worst "bad guy's final scare" scene i've ever seen. nothing about it is right. the guy finds out someone is an android, so he knocks its head off. he gets back into his car, then the android's severed arm starts choking him. he pulls it off, calms down, then the decapitated android goes after him again only to fall down. that's it.
now we can look toward thanksgiving, the day in which we give thanks for the beginning of christmas shopping. i can't help but think back at my childhood and what i was told about the first thanksgiving. goddamn, what a crock of shit. i would love to just walk in to a kindergarten class and just look at the kids faces in utter disillusion at some of the facts of how our country was settled. "ok, all the kids wearing feathers go in this side of the room. now all the kids with pilgrim hats on this side. ok. kids with feathers, you all die. just lay down like it was nap time."
then the best holiday of the entire year, christmahanukkwanzaka! odd thing is that it feels like it already. this weather we've been having is fucked up. 70 on halloween, 40 yesterday. what's going on? even worse, my heat in my apartment is actually too hot. every night, i have to wake up and open the window. then i'm freezing my ass off, so i have to close it. then i'm sweating like a dog in heat and i have to open it up again, it's bullshit! all the more reason to take nyquil. if i'm passed out, i won't have to care about the temperature. i wouldn't be surprised if we see snow this month.
i'm dearly looking forward to the end of these goddamn campaign commercials. got nothing to do this election day? grab a case of beer and a few bottles of your favorite hard alcohol, look back a few months, and check out my "election day drinking game". the rules aren't set in stone, so you can change them around as you see fit. until next time, *low jigsaw voice* game over.
11/9, update:
the guy in "brown face" that i mentioned, i just realized. he was being "tyrone biggens" from "chappelle's show". kinda funny, but still kinda tasteless.
