Happy Halloween

Shona Samhain!

I wish all my readers a happy Halloween.

It was always one of my favorite holidays. We used to bob for apples, and try and catch the apples on a strong, with out teeth. I remember eating Monkey nuts. (Peanuts in shells)

I know observance of this day, is not universal. Like Valentines day. I always feel sorry for people who did not grow up with it.

I remember several Halloween's well. My first year in university, when I went as Snake Plisken. Walking up and down Franklin street shackled to my friend Jermont. I went to a Halloween, party at my favourite pub a few years ago.

As well as Batman, when I was 6 or 7, to a Halloween party, at my Mums school. Which sticks in my mind too

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it.

It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
