My Furniture Lives In Queens
Today I should be posting a picture of myself in a Halloween costume
Some kind of obnoxious creation
A costume that bothers everyone in the surrounding area
Something that shoots some kind of liquid
Something that requires a ten foot circle for me to turn around
Something that makes everyone extremely uncomfortable because it's borderline inappropriate
Something that annoys everyone that comes within 100 yards of me
Sadly
I have nothing to show for this Halloween weekend
Honestly
I was too preoccupied with other shit that I failed to notice that it was even Halloween
I was oblivious until I was in a bodega buying beer
I was standing at the counter, paying for my Nerds and my beer when I heard a Straight Outta Compton ringtone
I turned around and looked at the guy behind me
He was dressed as Eazy E
Right off of the Straight Outta Compton album cover
Raiders hat
Black jacket
Sunglasses
Gerri curl
The only difference was that the guy standing in line behind me was white
So this makes it two years in a row
No costume
Don't remember why I didn't dress up last year
Probably nothing interesting to do
This year I think I was just not in the mood
I spent Saturday putting my belongings into a storage space in LIC
There's something sad about the fact that everything I own fits in a 10x7 room with plenty of space to spare
I came home from the space and stared at my pile of "necessities" in my vacated room
My clothes that I wear often
My acoustic
My dvd books
A bag of toiletries
The cd books I forgot to pack
A sleeping bag
A pillow
And my banjo
I tried to keep it down to the bare minimum
I tried to make it so that when the little meatball of a landlord comes to throw me out I can just grab my things and go
Of course
That's not the case
There's still too much
The whole idea was to make it so I didn't have to panic pack and run out on a moment's notice
Doing it this way was supposed to be the easy way
Sure
It is me giving up
Rather than putting up with the hassle of shouting matches and the threat of lawsuits and detectives
It takes a weight off
Makes me a little less uncomfortable
Which is basically all I ask for
To be less uncomfortable

I stayed home on haloween and painted my own version of a mexican calavera mask which still is not even done but has proven to be quite fun to work on. So I too was costumeless-but now I have something for next year.....
