Still Alive, Apparently, Mr Blog - But Why?

I look back on dozens of posts from years and years of thoughts, and wonder what was it all for?

I've stopped writing. I've stopped reading. I suppose I've stopped living. I don't do much of anything these days. I don't ride my RC51, I stopped traveling. Where has my creativity gone? I'm glad, in a way, that I stumbled onto this blog. I used to have such faith, in my skills as a writer, in the future - but now, the world is shit. If some far-off extraterrestrial race is rewinding time and surfing the waves of time and finds this tiny, inconsequential site, perhaps they'd be curious to know how far we've fallen, the human race.

President Trump (yes, my friends from Zeta Reticuli, I said President Trump) has ushered in a new world order of indecency, neo-McCarthyism at the Free Press and anointed them all Fake News. Antifa marches violently in the streets of West Coast cities and proudly spews hate speech. The President of the United States of America is a Russian agent; China is marching toward the world's largest economy, a caravan of "immigrants" and "refugees" are crashing the US border with Mexico and the world's most evil corporations are the Silicon Valley Axis: Google, Facebook, Apple and Twitter. They have created an internet where freedom no longer exists and net neutrality is dead. The changes that we're seeing in the world have backhanded us all back into slavery of the mind, and The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave is too busy sitting on fat, stuffed asses with smartphones and social media and have acquiesced to corporate takeover of America.

I think of what the world has become and it's no longer a mystery to me why I have lost creativity, why I have even lost interest in being a part of this world. I've cut myself off from social media as to no longer witness the death of Liberty. In the prophetic words of Real Life, send me an angel, send me an angel...right now. Send them all, Heaven, and cast out the devil and his minions in DC, the Democrats and Republicans alike who have sold out our country to other nation-states and corporations and highest bidders and destroyed this country from within.

What am I saying? This is not what this blog was intended for; I should be discussing my writing, and vampires, and pop culture and movies and music and Halloween, not politics. But it is amazing to me just how much things have changed since I posted on here regularly. Time is even in flux, and seems to be progressing much quicker than normal.



*Update: Today is 11/4/2023. I had long ago deleted this post, because what was it for? But I look back at just 5 years ago and see a different person. I despised President Trump at first, but then really became a fan of his America First policy. We can all see that the Russian collusion stories were completely fabricated. And China is in economic peril today. We had a pandemic that completely changed the world, not for the better.

And good grief the world is in turmoil more than I have ever seen in my lifetime. I'm only updating this old post because it's interesting to see how my perspective has changed about a few things today. How divided our country is about every single topic. Today my opinion is that I completely hate our society in 2023. I have gorged on a spiritual diet of nostalgia because today is just disgusting. Woke culture is pure evil. Today is one never-ending season of Twilight Zone proportions. Today's news headlines are completely designed in the mirrorverse, it seems. God help us all.

I'm bringing this blog back to life. I long ago stopped writing the novels I had created back in the early 2000s. I want to use this platform for more Halloween related stories, and nostalgia for those things I miss from that legendary time we called the 1980s and 1990s. As the world is transforming into whatever this is, I find myself looking more inward, toward spirituality, to God, and to the past. Looking back to the past too often is probably not the healthiest thing to do, but it's got to be better than what is going on now. I want to avoid the evil, divided nature of society and come here to enjoy things that make me happy. Hopefully it will make some of you happy too.

A Small History on Halloween in the States

Here's a link . This is a quick little read about Halloween and its development in the "New World". I've been a stanch believer that Halloween in America today is well and truly crafted here, though very much of traditions from the "Old World". But the conglomeration of the holiday is well and formed here in the States, from the carving of the first jack-o'-lanterns to trick or treating as a homegrown manifestation. A lot of these Halloween traditions were simultaneously developed up north with our Canadian cousins too, I'm sure. But with the bigger population Halloween became larger here in the States. And this story gives us some insight into the idea that while Halloween has some traditions that date back to pre-Christ times, what we celebrate here today in America is very much a melting pot of our own construction. This is important to me as this holiday is very much a part of the American experience and identity. If I have to say it aloud, I hav...

Jack-o'-lanterns in November!

Today most of America seems to have forgotten that the venerable jack-o'-lantern is not only an important symbol of Halloween, but also of Thanksgiving. As a kid this icon of Thanksgiving was a decoration you would see in people's yards throughout October and November; through most of autumn. Today you don't see it as much, with folks settling for simple uncarved pumpkins on the steps on the porch, or on bales of hay. I bring this up only because I'd like to see a return to the pumpkin-headed scarecrows staying around for more than one holiday. I'm keeping my jack-o'-lanterns out in the yard and on the porch until the day after Thanksgiving. It's time we keep the pumpkin-head scarecrow around all fall. This is a perfect way to repurpose your jacks into November, instead of letting them get tossed by some teenagers post-All Hollows Eve! However, there is something to be said for rotting jack-o'-lanterns after Halloween that just screams cool. Aging jacks ...
