Still yet another unintended consequence of the dumbass United States Congress worrying less about important shit like cutting my taxes and more about dumb shit like fucking with mother nature via daylight savings time is that it was way too light out to start Halloween trick or treating at the traditional around-my-way time of 6:00pm last night. Even at 6:30 it was still kinda too light but we made a go of it then.

Best booty: Full-size Twix and Hershey bars.

Dumbest booty: A Minute Maid juice box. WTF.

I call Halloween “payback day” because it is the one day of the year I can send my young children out to earn their keeps. I trudge to work every single day to give them decent lives and I think it’s only fair they spend an hour a year collecting candy and turning it over to me in return. Luckily for them they did a decent job this year.

Next year will have to be better though.

Also, I consider the year over once Halloween comes and goes. With the holidays and parties and birthdays and time off work and school and travel and whatnot time flies by so quickly it’s like November and December don’t even happen. That being the case, let me wish the world a happy 2008 right now. Well, for the part of the world I care about. I couldn’t care less how 2008 is for the rest of the world.
