Today is Halloween. One of the greatest days of the year. The Little Fireflies can’t wait to run home from school, don their costumes and start trick or treating. The Firefly abode is decked out in spider webs, pumpkins and ghouls. Even the Firefly mongrels are sporting themed bandanas. Yet, what do my blogging compadres choose to do today? An endless stream of boring posts about Johnny Cash’s religion and politics and some book length thesis on anti-heroes and their effect on modern society, or something like that. (To be honest I never read their posts, but don’t tell them.)
Look, it’s Halloween. We’re supposed to have fun today! “Blah, blah, blah, most important election in U.S. history. Blah, blah, blah, McCain’s going to die in office and Sarah Palin’s going to sell the whole country to the Russians. Blah, blah, blah, Obama’s going to ring in a velvet revolution and make us all Communist.” My fingers are in my ears, guys. I can’t hear you. Today is Halloween and I’m going to have fun! Let’s get on with the festivities!
First, we need to cleanse our pallettes. If those guys don’t put you in the mood to have fun you don’t have a funny bone. And, added bonus, they are godless, Chinese communists. If this is what communism is, what do we have to fear?

You know what puts me in a Halloween mood? The Dead by Dawn EP by the punk band Calibretto.
And by “Halloween mood” I mean “slightly spooky mood, rapidly spiraling into existentialist dread.”
