Oh Man....

So I guess in hindsight that Nate's idea to dress up as the twin towers and fall down wasn't as bad as I thought...

Oxymormom vs. Oxymormon vs. Oxymoron

OxymormoM- The unintended title of my page, due most likely, to the close proximity of the 'm' and 'n' keys on your standard QWERTY keyboard. I justify it by the fact that MOM exists in it and I pride myself on the use of 'your mom' series of jokes but had I realized my folly I would have probably gone for oxyYOURMOM.blogspot.com

OxymormoN- My clever, original, and ideal name for my blog. It was so clever, in fact, that I was only the second person on blogspot to think of it! It was already taken when I realized that my lack of effort in the elementary school "Typing Tutor" program had led to the deficient skills that cause my "m" error. Damn I knew I should have paid more attention to those magical white hands typing those silly sentences on my Apple IIG McIntosh in brillant CGA graphics. Though looking back on it- The Oregon Trail had way more relevant life skill applications.

Oxymoron: the root of my cleverness, evidentally only the latter part of the word has any significance to this post.

Halloween- the perfect holiday: evil, costumes and pumpkin bread. I ask you, is there anything else worth living for?

I love Halloween. First of all, it is a Holiday celebrating the exact opposite of what is was originally intended to celebrate- religion and goodness. Second of all, it is one of the rare Holidays that inspires even us lackluster, culturally deficient Americans to band together and actually go out of our way to avoid working and even festively dress up as our favourite things/people/criminals/whores etc. Finally, Halloween contributes to our world monopoly of obesity which is something to be embraced if you ask me....A small sample of a great Halloween in Minneapolis, Minnesota this year:

The Cave Woman, All-Star Snork, Flapper girl
Jack is the cowboy which if you knew him is hilarious...trust me.
Beuckens is a former gymnast- hence the ripped legs!

There's my girl, Persephone- Goddess of the Underworld
"she who destroys the light"

Compare her to the real deal:

My Favourite costume however was Bailey's, simply because of the effort involved in hiding her hair under that ridiculously small wig, and of course the elf ears, who isn't a sucker for costumes involving elven features?

After- With no hair modifications:

One small step for man, one giant leap for bloglandia.

I have made it to the promised land- blogspot. This is the place. I have decided to abandon without remorse my home @ MySpace due to that undeniable fact that Microsoft is evil...and terribly user unfriendly. So hello friends, ahoy pirates and (insert obscure klingon language or geek dialect) to all you trekkies out there. I am "in" the proverbial "house!"
