Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

So yesterday was Halloween. I was the same thing I was last year, which was something...I don't really know what. I kinda just put on an old-style dress and put fang marks on my neck. So I guess I was a vampire-in-training.

Me and Mike Jean went to the Tin Can in Hackensack to go watch drunken white people karaoke in costumes. It was fairly interesting until they started singing songs about "doing it like the animals on the Discovery Channel" with titles like "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights." Every painful song that came on had the rest of the people going nuts like naked chics were giving out free money. I can't count how many times Mike Jean asked me "You've never heard this song?????" He'd ask this with a look of complete disbelief as if I'd said I was a 30-year-old virgin. I knew a few of the songs though. I even sang along to "Bohemian Rhapsody" (which really doesn't give me any points since if it hadn't been for Wayne's World I wouldn't have heard of that song either.) What amused me the most were the three Asian guys in the corner who looked like they had no idea what they were doing there and the black guy across the bar from us who looked as if he didn't recognize a single song anyone sang. Mike said the Asian guys probably just exited the Riverside Square Mall and looked for a place to go. When they were leaving I was like "Yeah, you'll never see them here again." When the black guy's white friends came back he had this look on his face like "Thank God. This is the last time I am ever hanging out with white people ever again. Fuck this whole 'making-friends-at-work' thing."
