Guys, I don’t know if you know this, but Halloween is soon. And because of this, I feel the need to write something about Halloween.
I... don’t hate Halloween? It’s a fine holiday, and seeing all the dumb costumes and decorations can be fun. But other then that, I kind of don’t care. Never trick-or-treated in my youth, and never wanted to. Don’t have that much of a sweet tooth, so I’m not the biggest fan of candy. And that’s kind of what Halloween is all about, right? Getting candy? What a cynical view. Kind of like saying Christmas is all about getting presents.

Everyone, go have fun during Halloween! In the mean time, I will be fantasizing over the amazing turkey I will be having in a couple of weeks.
