Happy Halloween/I am Groucho

Happy Halloween!

The last time I wanted to be Groucho Marx, I had been Groucho Marx at the "Falconfest" parade, and my "date," said it woulda been lame to be Groucho again. And I was suckered into a joint costume as a vampire.

Last time I ever agreed to a theme costume with a date. That was a low point in my history of Halloween. I felt like one of those weirdo couples that both wear red sweaters to a Christmas party.

This year, vindication, I am Groucho, and I'm marching in the New York City Halloween Parade!

Anxious Choices

It seems like the past few years, there have been many choices laid in my path, and most time, I have no idea which path is the right one.

In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if there is a right choice.

This weekend was interesting, halloween parties, late night trips to the airport, Halo 3 with Gregg, drinks in Astoria, crazy biker dudes coming to my door and threatening me (in the end I think he was mistaken), the Red Sox, and Leopard.

Will tomorrow be just a day, like all the rest?

Humidity? 85º in October?

It's been a bit ridiculous the last few days as far as the Weather goes. It's so humid out it's driving me nuts. I've had to sleep with the AC on two days in a row just because its so unbearable in the apartment.

I had a great weekend. Met up with some old co-workers on Friday night, my buddy Phil and his fiancée Steph came down on Saturday and spent the night.

This upcoming weekend, I'll be heading up to Boston for a few nights. Just to relax and recharge. It'll be nice to see Jeff & Razmig, and some other folks if I have time.

I saw "The Assassination of Jesse James by Coward Robert Ford" this weekend, probably one of the most convincing period films I've seen a great while. The cinematography was amazing, and Casey Affleck was excellent. Highly recommend it.

creatively antsy

I'm definitely feeling an itch to do something creative. I think I've been in the city long enough now that I feel adjusted enough to start working on creating some new content. Perhaps starting up Hello the Podcast now, but of course, gotta find some new talent/stars for the show!

I'm looking to write a feature too, just working the amount of hours I do tends to wear down on me. So it's finding that balance of obsessing over one's own work, while still giving 110% at the office that I'm working on now.

In 2004, at this New Age store in Encinitas, I picked up this book on meditation. It's been collecting dust on the bookshelf until yesterday. I started going through the lessons, I mean, my mind is going in a million different directions, perhaps this'll help bring some focus and direction to my thoughts! It works for David Lynch, sorta, Inland Empire was a little out there.
