Rocktober

Outside of the second half of February, the October's tail end is always one my eyes glom onto.  Like a twerking butt or squating thighs, the back side of October is strong, robust, ever-changing, and down right freaky at times.  With the weather changing temperature, trees adopting new color, and many faces gaining spooky make-up, October is a month I think all of us cherish, but never spend much time talking about. 

For sports fans, theee best baseball of the year takes place.  Granted this playoff season was not particularly fun for us Giants fans - especially having to watch that suckbag Brian Wilson almost make it back to another World Series in Dodger blue - and we may not have been as intrigued, it is still a great time for the sport, nonetheless. 

For music fans, there are concerts and festivals galore.  Fall and Winter tours are just getting kicked off, we just recently celebrated the Treasure Island Music Festival, and of course, my favorite, The 27th Anual Bridge School Benefit is coming up this weekend at Shoreline Ampetheatre.  No, I do not have a free ticket for you.  Tons of albums have been released.  Pusha T stole the show with My Name is My Name.  I guess that band The Head and The Heart came back strong with that sophomore album that I haven't listened to and can't remember the name of. 

For anarchists and government saps, you were able to commiserate together for almost 20 straight days while our government acted like 5 year old boys who thought the other 5 year old girls had some sort of vile disease.  In all honesty, because we ended up diverting from a world wide economic colapse through pushing back the debt ceiling deadline, I think the only thing the government shutdown substantially effected was Donte Whitner ability to drop the 'W' from his last name.  Idiots.

Last but not least, however, we still have the actual celebration of Halloween to look forward to.  Because I am still a 7 year old child at heart, I still rock a costume and sometimes more than one.  A few years ago I was a middle finger and the next night I was a rock star, two years ago I was a Giants baseball player, and last year I was a priest from Hell.  Yes, that last one was actually true...Sorry Grandma.  What to be this year?  I am not one for repeating a look, but that priest one was pretty funny.  I took to twitter the other day and said "For Halloween this year I am going to paste money to my body, light it on fire, and go as 'relationships,'" but something tells me that could be expensive and dangerous.  So who knows, I'm sure we'll all dress up as something we wish we secretly were, but do not have the balls to actually be.

All in all, I think October has been a fine month and I look forward to seeing what the ending brings.  Until then, hopefully I find something more interesting to write about than some stupid fucking monthly look-back.  Cheers.
