Instant No Wave , Just Add French Homework.
Look at my brand new knife! Look at the size of it! Look at how uncomfortable Betsys' hand is! She hates that thing!
So last night was Halloween. We did nothing. We stayed inside. It was , I am certain , the right thing to do. While I love the accoutrements of Halloween , skulls , ghosts , severed limbs , etc.. , I can't take what it does to people. It is the one day every year where the stupid are given permission to act even stupider. I know this for sure , I have worked in bars the last SEVEN years in a row. It is always an ugly thing at 2am , watching grown men dressed as ducks and Napoleons fist fight in the street , drunk and crying.
As the reports started flooding in on my phone around midnight , of who was doing what and who was drunk and who was angry I breathed a sigh of relief as I looked around at my safe apartment and turned the TV up louder to drown out the sirens.
I will clarify a couple of things for anyone who attended the REAL last Mean Reds show last night. It seems young Anthony was none to pleased that I didn't show up for this final hurrah. So no matter what he says , or how loud he said it , I am NOT his Dad , and I have NEVER killed anyone.
Really Anthony , you are SO silly sometimes.
