Halloween

The nice thing about being an adult at Halloween is the knowledge that if I really want some sweets I can just buy myself some. No longer am I reliant on the kindness of neighbours or am I subject to whatever sweets they decide to hand out. If I want a particular sorts of sweets I just get them, no rummaging through a bag of mostly garbage in the hope of a few choice pieces.

Also I no longer have to dress up in ridiculous costumes to get said sweets. I am not one of those adults who has held onto the desire to dress up. It was kind of fun as a kid, so much unnecessary hassle as an adult. Also being a guy means I can't just do what most girls do these days for Halloween and go as the slutty version of something. I thing some girls are even forgoing the pretense nowadays and are just going as straight sluts. No slutty nurses or cowgirls here, just plain old slutty girls.

But seriously costumes as an adult; it just seems like so much effort and for what? At least when I was a kid there was a purpose. Costumes = Sweets. So what is my goal in dressing up now? What is my reward? As I said I can just get myself sweets if I want them and in fact if I was to dress up and try and get sweets from my neighbours I don't think it would go down very well at all.
"Do it because it's fun"and"It's a laugh!" I hear you say. No, no it's not. It's stupid and I won't do it.
