Where do I begin? :down: I\'ve always loved Halloween, and I was looking forward to this years mainly because of my new Fred mask (This is the first year I\'ve got into the whole mask-collecting thing). So I was kind of antsy all day, looking forward to nightfall while putting together my costume and playing around with my knifed-glove. I don\'t have kids of my own, but my girlfriend\'s sister has a little boy and girl, and she had promised to go with us to this town-festival where a bunch of Halloweenish activities were taking place. Well, darkness falls and she\'s no where to be found. So my girlfriend calls her and she says that she\'s already put the kids in bed. I was like wtf? Zach (her son) was looking forward to seeing my costume and wanted his picture taken with me and I in turn was looking forward to taking him around the festival. I mean, what\'s Halloween without kids? Anyway, we decided to go just for the hell of it, but it just wasn\'t the same. Sure I got a bunch of compliments on how great the mask and costume looked; and I was greatful for that, but it still wasn\'t the same. Everything was perfect last year, aside from the crap mask I had, since the kids were with us. Not just all that, but during the entire night tonight I saw not 1 child trick-or-treating... Not 1!!! Talk about depressing. I suppose parents are wary these days, and that\'s understandable, but Hallowen just isn\'t what it used to be... Maybe I just need to move. Anyway, sorry for the rant, but I\'ve been looking forward to this day all year and it finally rolls around only to be a big let down. :confused:
