    10/31/02 (hi, vergil!)

    What a weird and shitty day it has been. Being that I've been working on putting together
    this (worthless, totally amateur) video for broadcast journalism and working long
    afternoons and evenings at school, I'm pretty goddamn tired.

    I'm too lazy to deal with Halloween. It ceased being a major event in my life sometime around
    when I started high school. So it rolled around un-noticed this year, kinda creeping up on me
    like yesterday when Sam (the girl I drive to school) asked me about it. "Umm, yeah... I'm not
    dressing up for Halloween." isn't something a girl (this girl) wants to hear. So she's sort of
    bummed. And I'm bummed.

    Ever since I woke up this morning, things went downhill. It's probably because everyone else
    got to enjoy themselves at school. But I'm convinced that it's gotta be something more. I've
    been out of it. Did I mention that before?

    Interesting story: I went to the gym this evening, and practically nobody was there. I figure,
    this is a little weird, being a weeknight and primetime and all that. I was at the
    gym in the first place because I kinda needed something to do to forget about what a shit day it had
    been, so I might as well plan ahead for the rest of the weekend. I call up Sam on my cellphone, but
    she doesn't seem to be there. Then I head home after working out, and I'm driving close to my
    neighborhood, and I see all these kids walking around with flash lights and all, and I figure
    there's a party going on somewhere. Then it dawns on me: it's Halloween, dumbfuck.

    Dream-Land. by Edgar Allan Poe

    .

    BY a route obscure and lonely, haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, on a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly from an ultimate dim Thule --
    From a wild weird clime, that lieth, sublime, out of SPACE -- out of TIME.

    Bottomless vales and boundless floods, and chasms, and caves, and Titian woods,
    With forms that no man can discover for the dews that drip all over;
    Mountains toppling evermore into seas without a shore;
    Seas that restlessly aspire, surging, unto skies of fire;
    Lakes that endlessly outspread their lone waters, lone and dead, --
    Their still waters, still and chilly with the snows of the lolling lily.

    By a route obscure and lonely, haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, on a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly from an ultimate dim Thule.

    By the lakes that thus outspread their lone waters, lone and dead, --
    Their sad waters, sad and chilly with the snows of the lolling lily, --
    By the mountains -- near the river murmuring lowly, murmuring ever, --
    By the gray woods, -- by the swamp where the toad and the newt encamp, --
    By the dismal tarns and pools where dwell the Ghouls, --
    By each spot the most unholy -- in each nook most melancholy, --
    There the traveller meets aghast sheeted Memories of the Past --
    Shrouded forms that start and sigh as they pass the wanderer by --
    White-robed forms of friends long given, in agony, to the worms, and Heaven.

    By a route obscure and lonely, haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, on a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly from an ultimate dim Thule --

    For the heart whose woes are legion 'T is a peaceful, soothing region --
    For the spirit that walks in shadow 'T is -- oh 't is an Eldorado!
    But the traveler, traveling through it, may not -- dare not openly view it;
    Never its mysteries are exposed to the weak human eye unclosed;
    So wills its King, who hath forbid the uplifting of the fringed lid;
    And thus the sad Soul that here passes beholds it but through darkened glasses.
    By a route obscure and lonely, haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, on a black throne reigns upright,
    I have wandered home but newly from this ultimate dim Thule.

    You sir, would make Santa Claus vomit with rage.

    How dare you ignore the sacred societal covenant of the older generation giving out free candy to the youngsters. If you're too old to dress up and go door to door begging for free candy, you should have the decency to stay at home and give out candy to those dewy-eyed tykes.

    And don't neglect to "correct" any teenagers that are "too cool" to dress up in a lame costume, but aren't too cool to beg for free candy. You owe it to society.
