Halloween costumes are fun but has the potential to become extremely intoxicating and addictive. It also has the potential to depress as the night wears on and the make-up wears off. I think this is an accurate statement. Accurate for myself because i know in order for me to contribute to society effectively the next day, it has to come off. Unless of course im looking forward to canvas padded walls sistered with 4 point restraints.
I find myself looking at the clock more and more toward the end of the night. The later it gets the more my shoulders sink. Why is this do you think? Is it because of the costume itself or is it that i have to force myself to put one on the morning after?
Truly sad to think of this holiday as only one day we can be something else entirely without the guilt of pretentiousness. But is it really? Or are we on the left celebrating it 365? Finally, a holiday that doesn't involve the common holiday stresses such as gifting, cooking, inlaws, flying roast turkeys or kissing a grenade under the booby trapped missle toe. Lets not forget that mouth breathing uncle chasing your daughter around.
Halloween finally comes and we eagerly choose our costume to a T. If most of us chose our everyday costumes with such diligence we would go far. But its not like this. Dressing for the day requires many exhales in the mirror. We dont often applaud ourselves every morning in the mirror when we look good. But come halloween when we are bloody, torn clothed and bruised we jump for joy.
My question is this: what are you going to be this halloween? Why? And have you chosen this costume before? How much does this costume project what you really are?
Then ill ask which is the real costume? Todays or the 31st's?
