Hello... I've neglected my blog... sorry...

 

In one hour Halloween will be over! You know.. I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of Halloween. In fact, it's a slight turn off when I see a guy in a ridiculous outfit... I don't know why! I should think it's cool that someone is willing to have fun, dress up, and look a little crazy. Maybe I just use it as an excuse for guys I don't quite... know about. Don't get me wrong I'm all for dressing up, going to a party, trick or treating, and all that, but what's the point? I suppose I'm more of a "Day of the Dead" kind of person... At least that is still more rooted in its original purpose and people remember it as such. Honoring the dead. Remembering those that went before us. 

 

I wonder if I would have liked my Grandpa Mundo. I wonder how life would have been different. Would my mom have stayed in Guatemala? My mom misses him; he was killed when she was only 17. But she knows she'll see him again. I'm told he was a very hard working man; An honest individual. I can't wait to meet him someday. 

 

Oh, by the way, I want my kids to enjoy Halloween someday, so maybe that'll be my motivation to enjoy it more. But I think I'll add my own twist to it and give it a little more significance. Quirky traditions create memories, right? One Halloween tradition I do have is to watch The NIghtmare Before Christmas... I watch it on Christmas too. 

 

On a slightly different note, I've been having strange dreams again. Last night I dreamt an Italian mafia woman wanted to kill me because I stood up to her. She had a crazily evil look that pierced me. She held the gun up high and followed me around a room that we were trapped in with a few other people. The lights went off. I struggled to get away and move around a table in the room but when the lights went back on, she was right next to me, gun set and ready. 

 

My mind is a little scattered. I haven't had the best sleep cycle recently and I just had a 5 hour nap... Well, more later, at least I wrote a small update...

I think next I'll FINALLY write about Boston and New York... and Guatemala. It'll be fun.
