Well Halloween is coming up in a few days and this will probably be the last time i ever go trick-or-treating.  My mom has said for the past four years that I am way too old to go out and trick or treat, but of course I have to go out and get all the free candy that the neighboring people are willing to give to me. 

Halloween is defiantly one of the best holidays of the year if you ask me.  I love it when all the really good scary movies are on TV and the haunted houses are open in the old abandoned Ames stores.  Plus the weather tends to finally go down in temperature so we don’t have to deal with 80-90 degree heat in school anymore.  Plus snow is usually on its way and that’s always something to look forward to.  Its just a great time of the year.    

I don’t know what exactly I want to be for Halloween.  I have saved every single mask and costume that I wore for Halloween since i was a young child.  I have an old skeleton outfit, a devil mask, a cyclops mask, a werewolf outfit, so i have a lot to choose from.  I don’t plan on spending any money on Halloween due to the fact that i am broke and cant really afford anything anymore now that college and a future car purchase are in the near future. 

I was thinking about being Bag Man again for Halloween like I did two years ago.  Basically the Bag Man costume consists of a paper bag, a towel, and some fireworks.   I take a paper bag and cut holes into it for my eyes and mouth.  I write Bag Man at the top of the bag just in case people don’t know exactly who I am.  I tie a large towel around my neck to act as a cape and I use the fireworks as my “secret weapon.”  Basically i attach some bottle rockets to the top of the bag and some firecrackers to my side.  Unfortunately I had a little mishap with the bottle rockets two years ago.  One of the bottle rockets did not launch and stuck to the bag when it went off.  I did not realize it at the time but the whole left side of the bag was on fire while it was on my head.  Fortunately my friends were around to have a good laugh and were nice enough to tell me that my head was on fire.  So i ripped off the bag and threw it into the street and watched as the best Halloween costume ever burnt to shreds.  Then a big pick up trick came and ran over the burning remains and that was officially the end of that.  Hopefully if I decide to be bag man again this year I wont have any mishaps that ruin my costume.

Basically my plans for this Halloween are to help my family give out candy for a little while and then head out with my friends to collect some candy from trick-or-treating.  Hopefully I will end up scaring some of my friends and get some really great candy that will last me until summer.  I just hope i don’t end up on fire or in the dentist’s office because of a cavity.
