Day 116;
Well it’s the eve of old hallows eve well it should be by
the time that this goes live, the 30th of October.
So are there any of my readers that are going to dress up?
I realise that the majority of you probably don’t even
celebrate Halloween or if you do it’s just by watching a “scary” film either on
your own or with friends and the majority of the fun that you have is internal,
within your brain. Anyway that’s what I usually do. But I can remember when I
was small, much smaller than I am now.
What do you mean when you were
afraid of everything?
No, slightly later than that I’m guessing as I can’t
remember that time at all of it did actually happen, unlike pretty much the
majority of my short term memory, which is almost nonexistent by the time that
I go to bed on the night. But the long term memory in between the moment of my
earliest memory up to the week before the crash/my first week of work
experience. My memory is in a state of flux, by that I mean that memories will
resurface from time to time but they aren’t in any particular order, so one
minute I’m in a crowd of children in the play ground of the first school that I
know that I went to with both of the portable cabins that were for the youngest
children they had they’re own play grounds behind each of them and the field
was immense in scale for the time that I was there the next minute I’m skating
away from a member of Basildon titans that I had just checked, in roller
(inline-skater) hockey but to what I can remember that the man that I checked
didn’t like being checked too much as he apparently attempted to smack my head with
a fist, apparently. But I never saw it myself as I was too busy dawdling my way
back to my position in defence of my teams goal.
But if you wanted to find out about Halloween you can by
looking at the below is a YouTube video on the origins of the Halloween that we
all know, or just should know. From it’s Celtic origins to modern times within America
at least. As I am sure that I have stated earlier if not today then another
previous day that Halloween isn’t really made a big deal of not to me. But I
prefer Halloween to Christmas. If for no other reason than its forgotten
holiday as there’s all of those Christmas adverts. the music and all of the
lies that are to do with Christmas even the name is a lie.
English as I’m sure you know is a language. It’s not
American as the American language is based on English but it’s not the same
like in American you’ve got your names for Sweets/Candy, Football/Soccer you
