Welcome to my world. My world is what I make it, as is everyone else's. As I am more generous than most, I will let you leave your mark and influence upon it... as long as it is without malice or intended harm. I offer sanctuary for those in need, and advice for those who know how to ask and are willing to listen. Do not taint my paradise. Tread softly and open your mind to what I have to say, for while I rarely say what I mean, I usually say what I mean.
I love October. For many reasons. Mostly because it contains my favourite holiday: Halloween.
Growing up, this was the only holiday i truly looked forward to, as it was the one day out of the year when I could be someone other than who I was in reality. It was one evening (my favourite time of day) completely filled with a game of Pretend. And you got free candy. What is there not to like?
For me this day was better than Christmas. Yes, I was a little morbid as a kid (I chose Death as the first costume I can remember) and I think that's why I liked it. I can remember every costume I've ever had since Kindergarten. Christmas presents just kinda fade, like birthdays. But Halloween is different every year, but at the same time it never changes.
This year, I'm going trick-or-treating. So what if I'm 21? I have friends who have never gone trick-or-treating in their entire life because their parents think it's a pagan holiday and therefore anti-Christian. What their parents don't know is that All Hallow's Eve (the day Halloween came from) is a Catholic holiday for celebrating those saints who don't have a day of their own; i.e. All Saint's Day. Anways, if by 21 you've never gone trick-or-treating, it's time you've begun. So we're all dressing up like pirates, getting tipsy, and while our wenches carry our grog we shall pillage and plunder our way through candy-giving neighborhoods on a never-ending search for booty.
Aye! Avast ye scurvy seadogs! Secure the mainmast and swap the poop!
Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me!
We pilfer and plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me!
We extort and pilfer, we filch and we sack
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
Maraude and embezzle and even hijack
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me!
We kindle with charm, we enflame and ignite
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
We burn up the city, we're really a fright
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
We're rascals and scoundrels and villians and knaves
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
We're devils and black sheep and really bad eggs
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me!
We're beggars and flaggers and neer-do-well cads
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up me hardies, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me!
