A little tidbit

I know, I know.  I'm a liar.  For those of you who don't know, we just ended the busy time of year for my work.  What that means is more free time to do stuff like this.   And drink and stuff.  

So this is my first post since the holidays and my first post on my NEW MacBook.  I got some new things in the pipes including a podcast, a support site, and more Twitter updates.  So keep your browser here for some stuff.  

My Hallowiki

Happy Halloween, internet! As you all should know this is one of my favorite holidays ever. What other day can you drink, party, eat obnoxious amounts of candy, all while dressing up. But throughout all the good times I fear we have forgotten why we do these activities today. I feel it is my responsibility to bring us all back to the roots of this great day.

Halloween is a day of great importance. Every year on October 31st we celebrate the life and birthday of Eve Hallows, the founder of the worlds oldest profession, prostitution. Based out of a bordello in what is now Europe, she single handedly started the tradition of selling pleasure. Being the most successful woman in her business at the time, she had many callers, and all with different tastes. To ensure business, she would ofter dress up with different persona's in fear of losing customers. On one fateful day, Eve was brutally murdered by a woman whose husband was caught with her in only a home-made futuristic cowboy costume. The townsfolk, realizing that Eve was only doing her job, came together and mourned the loss of their great pioneer.

Every year since then people around the world honored her in several ways. Men would dress up in their favorite costumes and women would try to dress up as the prostitute herself. Since there are no recorded pictures of Eve, women would dress differently from one another in hopes to attract the different types of costume-ed men. The people would come out at night and drink in Eve's honor and have contests to see who was honoring her the best by wearing to best outfit.

As the years passed and the socially acceptable age of marriage and reproduction lengthened, the younger people were starting to be left out. In order to preserve the memorial, younglings would dress up and go door to door asking for a pittance in the form of sweets. This was to ensure the proper observance of the holiday while still preserving the innocence of youth. As people got older there was no longer a need for the attraction of the opposite sex nor sweets. The elderly now pay tribute to Eve by handing out small denominations of pennies wrapped in tissue to give the children in hopes they remember Eve's noble entrepreneurship.

So as this year's Halloween comes around and I hit the bars as tradition states, I encourage all the guys to put on their best costumes, and girls to be the sluttiest they can so that we may pay homage to Eve Hallows, the worlds greatest working woman.

If at First You don't Succeed, Wait for Your Hangover to Go Away

So last night was uneventful and today I have felt like hell. So far the plan is to go to Baltimore tomorrow night and hit up the bars downtown. I'm bringing my iPhone so I will have some live broadcasts, videos, and plenty of pictures. So small post today, but I will get some more stuff up here tomorrow.

Again if anybody knows a good place to hang tomorrow, then leave me a comment or DM me on Twitter.

I Went to Enter a Contest and all I got was this Blog Post

So I set out tonight on a mission. That mission was to be the best costume-ed person in all of the Baltimore/Washington area. Unfortunately I did not want to make the faux pas of going to this type of event all by my undead self. So here I am now at a bar with the worlds best costume and no ducketts to be won. I will try again tomorrow in the hopes that the costume contest circuit will learn to fear the name Christain Goff.

Seeing as how I won't be beaten by this I still would like to know what else is going in in the area this week. So bounce back in the comments or @ me on Twitter. Keep you guys updated!

Goin for the Gusto

I figured out what I am going to do with my fall vacation. Being the make-up guy for an undisclosed theme park's Halloween event, I think it is time I used my talent the best way I know how, by trying to win as many costume parties I can this week. I'm gonna hit the town and grab as many prizes, money, and free stuff I can get my undead hands on. This will also be the first time I will post some pics up here.

Now that you guys know my plans, I havae two questions: 1. Where do I go? and 2. Who's coming with me? We should definitely make it a team thing so leave a comment if you want to join us, or if you can't make it then let me know where to go. I will post my results up here and as always live updating on Twittter. See you all at the finish line.

My Multimedia Revolution

I hit a landmark today: 4500 songs and 200 movies in my iTunes collection. According to iTunes that's almost a straight month without seeing or hearing the same thing twice. That is borderline obnoxious. So you are asking yourself, "Self, why does someone need a collection like that"? Well knowing that I am always doing a new videography project you never know what piece of audible art you may need. Now granted there is some absolute crap in this collection, but there is also some really swank stuff. I encourage people to reach out and discover new music. A good start is the iTunes single of the week free download. I have found several artists that have ben under the radar too long. Another method is compilation searching. If you like an artist, see who they have teamed up with n the past. Odds are they may have something in common. Either way it always fun to explore new artists.

My next step is trying to find a way to hack my appleTV to get more storage space so I have access to all this bric-a-brac on my home theater. Leave something in the comment field if you have any suggestions, and if not, then I will find a way and post it here for a reference. See you tomorrow.

So Where Have I been?

Summer was very busy for me. Spent a lot of my time at work, rearranged my house to make it livable, and in my spare time, I tried to reap the benefits of being single in Annapolis. That's not to say I haven't had my fun. Got to check out some sporting events, went mountain climbing, and wishing friends happy birthday. Most os this stuff was logged on Twitter and Facebook while it happened. When I get the chance I'll try to post some stories but for now I will focus on the day-to-day stuff. So Leave some thoughts/comments/suggestions here or DM me on Twitter/Facebook or you can email me whatever you please. See you guys next time.
