Sometimes everything is so beautiful I want to cry (like fall foliage blazing against an overcast and darkening sky....)
Sometimes I feel under appreciated (usually, really), taken advantage of, and conspired against reaching my so-called potential (for whatever I can do or may possibly be good at...whatever that is...)
Sometimes I long to feel the child I'll never have in my arms. (it will never happen, but sometimes I feel and hear a clock ticking...)
Sometimes I wonder if the Post Fruit/Cocoa Pebbles creators got their inspiration from the colorful and/or dried leaves littering the ground. (strange association maybe... but that's how it looks to me sometimes...)
Halloween will be here soon. I'm sure as a child I loved this holiday (free candy? an excuse to be a little monster? what's not to like?) but as an adult, (and a cynical whiney one at that, yes, I'm aware of it) I really hate it. I don't plan to reward the obnoxious little bastards in my neighborhood for their bad behavior. Maybe some neighborhoods have decent kids that don't block traffic and don't annoy drivers. Maybe you live in Pleasantville? Oh, if only. But I don't. They're nasty little monsters with no need for costumes.
And why do people feel the need to dress up as monsters/ghouls/etc. and scare people when you just need to turn on the news? There's enough ugliness in this world. No need to add to it. Or to the fear. Just another overly commercialized gimme-fest. Get your own!
Blech.
(I guess it's still a but too early for "humbug!"....unless of course you've been to a store recently...it's Christmas there already. )
