Countdown till' Next Year

Thanks to everyone that participated in my birthday celebrations.
Now that my B-day, as the kids say, has passed it's the official start of the holiday season.
First up is Halloween. I'm not sure why we would celebrate death before baby Jesus' birth. I guess backward story telling is all the rage these days.
So, Halloween. Another chance to party collectively and for girls' to carry out their naughty, sexy fantasies.
In its inherent intentions Halloween is the celebration of death, the afterlife, the unknown. Thankfully, somewhere along the line girls decided to turn into a slutathon. And thank Satan for that. It ranges from sexy nurses to frivolous secretaries.
Maybe, it's just me. But, so eagerly wanting to be the former or latter or something in between and beyond has some rooted meaning.
Ladies: You don't have to wait until the end of October to be slightly sluttier.
It's Halloween every day for countless of women across the world.
And if you like it so much and make the jump into what's called prostitution (I call it smart-fucking) then don't be ashamed. After all, you would be partaking in the world's oldest profession.
---"Oh, you're doctor?"
==="Well, I'm a prostitute. Don't worry we can't all be part of history."
That could be you.


I've been thinking of my X-Mas list. I've been a good, diligent boy this year. Santa should be especially giving. It's been rough with the recession and all. Sometimes I wake up drenched in cold sweat late at night thinking the Dow will plunge again. I mean I do my best. I pray every night for God to keep safe Goldman Sachs, Merril Lynch, the Fed, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, etc. I think they would pray for me if I were in trouble. Still, the powers of Santa Claus are needed to assure the safety of our financial institutions.
Another so far in my X-Mas shortlist is to never hear about Afghanistan again or Pakistan. The buzz word among politicos is AfPak. So cute. Anyway, there seems to be an increasing number of people who think the situation in AfPak is fucked beyond repair.
So if you can't fix something completely why fix it just a little bit so it can break again? (Yeah, I just oversimplified the shit out of a massive problem) But, this region has been in turmoil every since the British left it by its lonesome. Do we need the British to recolonize the AfPak. Possibly. As long as we can talk of another region of the world we can save or pretend to save so we can exploit it. It's just boring.
