Ghosts and Ghoulies and Gremlins

I think Halloween is officially my third favourite time of year, it's my favourite "festival" (or whatever, blah) by any means. I don't really know or care about the story behind it, all I know is it's fucking great to mash a load of fake blood onto your face and get slaughtered (ehh get it?!) with your pally pals. Now, I know fancy dress isn't everyones cup of tea, but it IS mine, and I take it with milk and 2 sugars tar. Whether you go the whole hog and come in some elaborate costume that took 7 hours and the help of your entire family and street and neighbouring town to attach to you, or you just stick on a hairy mask and go BOO, I have equal respect. It's all in the game, and if you play it, then you'll know how good it is.
Here are some snaps of the 2009 halloween adventures, ranging from distant Margate, to Canterbury Cathedral City/home, to some place in London. Enjoy, you bunch of paganistic bastards ... (please don't correct me on my inaccurate historical knowledge of halloween)



















And some inspirational photos from an American Apparel party that looks decidedly cooler than anything I could come up with (via Platform)






One last thing, I Iike this song.

THANKS

If I was a DJ

... and the venue was my bedroom and the audience was me and my friends and the only fundamental rule about DJing was that you have to be sort of clumsy and not blend anything together very well, then THIS is what I would play.

Love from,

"Geometry"

The whole geometry thing is cool but I also like the angle these pictures are all taken from. I feel like I'm stalking them or invading their privacy, which is only true no? I like how they show the way the people hold themselves.

A person can't fake the way they hold themself like they can with a heavily rehearsed shot of their silly mug.

Good Person Manifesto

Hey little guy, ever wondered how to make yourself generally a cooler person? Follow these guidlines I've kindly laid out for myself, and adapt them to yourself.

1. Listen to people.

2. Don't be lazy.

3. Don't talk shit about friends. Don't be friends with people you talk shit about.

4. When you know you shouldn't be doing something, don't fucking do it.

5. Don't be tempted by cheap thrills.

6. Think positive (no really, it works).

7. Read.

8. Be high maintenance (pluck/wax/trim/moisturise ... when was being a slob ever good, for anyone?).


9. Be productive.

10. Don't be FLAKY.

11. Remember your manners.

12. Don't give up, you're not the same person once you've given up.

13. Take a chill pill. Neuroticism is never hot ... plus, act like you don't care and you won't. \self preservation you noob :-)


Ahh I feel less shitty already. Love love love <3
