Trick and tricks.

Halloween. A holiday that comes around once a year. Images of witches, pumpkins, and ghosts consume peoples' thoughts. Man how it is changed throughout the years. As a child it is a festive time, one wear cavities and sugar headaches dance around in your mind. Then there's that pivotal age. That age wear trick or treating becomes childish. I wonder who ever started that. My guess was just pompous 5th or 6th grader who never liked dressing up. So from junior high through high school Halloween becomes costume parties or helping the parents distribute candy to kids who are just like you were a few years ago. If you were like me, it might have meant doing a little egging or toilet papering. Misspent youth? Nah, I loved every minute of it. Yes, when I am someday an adult and have to clean it up I am certain I will gripe about it. Then I'll realize somethings just don't change.

College Halloween. For the most part just plain dirty. I've some real creative costumes now, from a guy who is a shower stall to a man dressed up like everyones favorite drink Jaegermeister. These creative wears are usually worn by the male population. Girls on the other hand resot to a different tactic. Substitute creative for slutty. A simple outfit like a Girl Scout all of sudden becomes a mid drift baring cosmopolitan drinking girl. Dorothy from Wizard of Oz was a simple Kansas girl, raised on a farm and unfortunately swept away to a magic land by a tornado nonetheless. Magic land now becomes Northgate and simple Dorothy is now ass hanging out cleavage showing girl trying not to get with the just the tin man, but the scare crow and the lion. College Station has been home for 4 years now, and there really is no place like home.
