Unless you're a female, 20-30, in a nurse's outfit, don't knock on my door |

In my circle of friends and family, I am known somewhat of a holiday scrooge. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and St. Patty's Day I can handle. Mostly because of food, football, and beer. But Halloween and Easter, I just can't stomach. I've just never gotten the point of carving pumpkins, trick and treating, or coloring easter eggs. But what I hate the most, about all holidays, is people who completely deck their houses out a month and a half before the actual holiday. And what about all the rats scurrying around on Halloween night, knocking on your door? Cute? Please! I love kids, I taught pre-school, and coached T-Ball and Little League sports. But a mom dressing her two year old up as a ladybug, for her own sastifaction is ridiculous. It's like people who dress up their dogs in ballerina outfits, tape it, and send their clips into AFV. Why do I detest Halloween so much? I guess I'm not real sure about that myself. I've gone trick or treating, done the scariest movie marathon with friends, played light as a feather-stiff as a board, called bloody mary, and even used a ouji board in an abandoned house. Last year as a 21 year old, I went out to bars and at least got to gander and gaze at women way to undressed for Minnesota weather. Maybe bars could carry orange colored beer on Halloween, that would cheer me up. But unless you're a woman between the ages of 20 and 30 dressed up in a nurse's outfit, don't knock on my door and say "Trick or treat." And if you do fall into that catergory, then I will gladly and promptly say treat.

Ravings, rantings, and gibberish. (36) writen by: Drew What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
