Day 161 – Hallo-fucking-ween!@#?!?

Last night, that being the 31st October, I posted my blog entry and then sat chilling out on the sofa when my front door bell chimed. I looked through the peephole to find 3 of the neighbourhood kids dressed up. For a split second I thought what the fuck? And then it hit me its Halloween!

I opened the door and heard 3 Aussie accented kids yell out “Trick or Treat” I was ready to tell them to fuck off or give them a piece of my mind on what I think about Halloween and this stupid, stupid, American custom, or how do they refer to it? Oh yeah that’s right it’s a “holiday”. Then I thought be nice Reney as they are your neighbours. I went into my hallway cupboard and pulled out three tubes of toothpaste. Hahahahahahahaha I think this is hilarious.

The three of them gave me this shocked looked of , “Bitch, you give us toothpaste? Are you for real you fat cow?” The look was simply priceless. I explained that I had nothing else to give them. Hahahhaha how funny is that? So you little shits I dare you to come a knocking again on Hallows Eve at 10 fucking o’clock again next year because next year you get toothbrushes!!!

I totally do not agree with this “Halloween” as this is an American Custom or “Holiday” and it saddens me that my beautiful country follows America like a puppy dog follows its mamma around. I am 37 years old and I was never taught about Halloween in school, it was never even spoken about in the school yard and I had only ever seen this Halloween tradition on TV on American programs. Fast-forward to the year 2007 and I now have the neighbourhood kids ringing my doorbell and yelling out trick or treat. Like what the fuck? Better yet maybe I can demand a trick and say, “Watch me disappear” and slam the door shut and then let out a TA-DA!!!! I’ve disappeared. How funny would that be?

I’m all about fun so please don’t get me wrong. People that know me will tell you I am very child like and relate better to children than I do to adults but I refuse to follow or honor American Propaganda, yes it is propaganda in my eyes as it is deceptive and distorted information that is systematically spread to what I refer to as “American Arse Kissing Countries”.

Don’t hate me for saying this but I believe that this glorious country of ours is indeed an “American Arse Kissing Country” No haters please, as I love Australia! I have done a lot of extensive travel in my time and as much as I get itchy feet to go traveling, exploring, seeing, experiencing and learning about different countries and cultures I always get three quarters the way through my adventures and always tend to get what I refer to as The Dorothy Complex.

What is The Dorothy Complex? Its like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (one of my all time fave movies ever made) she slips on those DIVINE red sparkly Mary- Janes shoes and she taps her heels together and chants “there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home” Well that’s The Dorothy Complex. But what I was getting was that I do love Australia there is NO better country in the world. None! But sadly I believe that we are an American Arse Kissing Country. Whatever America does we sadly seem to follow.

Back to Hallo-fucking-ween, If I had kids there is no way on earth I would allow them to be knocking on strangers doors at 10,oopm. Do we not teach our children to not accept lollies from strangers? So is this not hypocritical then? I would rather my kids play out in the streets kicking a footy around, climbing trees, exploring nature or even sitting down and reading a book or drawing rather than have them knocking on neighbours doors yelling out Trick or Treat. (No haters please, this is just my opinion.)

Thank God that’s off my chest, as I soooo needed to vent.

P.S - What's with the pumpkin head?
