Halloween has become kinda grim for me. Years ago I lived in as middle class neighborhood as you could ask for. I loaded up on a big pile of candy.....an the doorbell rang four times. That's it. Last year, where I currently live, one batch of trick-or-treaters. One. This makes me sad.
it us sad, isnt it? what's happening is all political. trick or treating has a curfew, around me its 9pm. so i shuts down at 8:30. its bullshit. so.. they get 2 hours of night to do shit. and they got al these fair-weather parents scared to death of kidnappings or whatever the fuck. oh, sure you pretend to care 1 day of the year, and the rest of the year its free reign? i got kids running around all year late as fuck screaming, fighting, yelling, breaking shit, playing, drinking, all that. fuck off.
i put up a proper house for halloween to make up for all the years when i lived in the middle of nowhere and had no trick or treaters, its somewhat of a landmark each year and the kids love it. i scare the shit out of them, resulting in several dropped sacks of candy, and a few of them cry. its great. everyone has fun, but yeah, its really changed. and dont give me shit, the parents laugh their asses off.
anyway, yes, they call this progress. expect it to soon die all together.
