Halloween

I don’t like to party, and I don’t dress like a skank. These are the reasons why Halloween is my least favorite holiday.

What is it about Halloween? Why is this the one night of the year when it is completely socially acceptable for girls to dress like sluts? Why is it a night when it is the norm to get hammered?

I will be honest, if I had an incredible body, I would show it off a bit more. If I were 21, I would probably drink on a more regular basis.

But there is a level when it gets pushed too far. Our society has forgotten what the word ‘moderation’ means. We eat and eat and eat, and wonder why we get fat. We drink and drink and drink and wonder why we can’t go a day without a few shots. We smoke and smoke and smoke, then wonder why we have lung cancer (trust me, I am at fault on this one). And we sleep around and dress like skanks and do what we please, and wonder why we end up pregnant, date-raped, and full of diseases.

We need to take better care of our bodies. We need to recognize that holidays like this aren’t the only times to have fun. We need to enjoy ourselves on a more regular basis, so that it doesn’t get all pent up and spew out on a crazy night like Halloween.

Oh well. At least I will be in the Clause office all night. No hangovers for me.
