HELLO FOLLOWERS!

Had to cut my hair and shave my beard for a wedding we went to this weekend. I felt very cold right after. Allison was not upset at all...

Another life

As I've mentioned in my previous post, Halloween season is fast approaching. It is by far one of my favorite holidays. Halloween to me is what I imagine gifted actors are about to feel when working on a movie. When I dawn a costume which I have painstakingly put together I am able to become another person. I forget about any problems or insecurities I might have and lose myself in that other person.

It's a fantastic experience that I look forward to every Halloween (this year is extra special because I'm going to a themed costume wedding, and probably Comic Con). But I can't help but ask myself, is this a bad thing? Am I using this method to run away from my problems the way an addict uses drugs to escape their own troubles? Is my life really that bad that every year I look forward to escaping it by becoming someone else?

Their sound will always mean summer is here.

I told Allison we were almost out of bread and could she pick some up on her way home from work. This is what I came home to.

Into the Fall

Last weekend Allison and I took a trip with friends up to Wisconsin for our last fall adventure before it got too damn cold. As usual it was so magically perfect that I had trouble coming back to the city.

I can’t believe that the idiot blob of orange colored fat currently in charge of our country keeps claiming he’s “handled this situation well.”

I’m also not a reposting kinda guy but these things need attention more than the lies Trump keeps telling.

Watching your world slowly collapse around you is painful. Having no one to be there with you is unbearable.
