196 - the Halloween do's

Wanted to share with you guys the fun I had at Halloween this year. Picture 'A' shows the final results of me not cutting my hair for about 8 months and not shaving for the 3 or 4 months prior to Halloween this year. I had an idea that I thought would be fun for work and starting growing the hair out with the idea that it would shock everyone when my hair changed so drastically for one day. It was really fun as the days drew closer and all my friends at work kept guessing what I was going to be. The crazy thing was the last day when someone mentioned a possible character with short hair and someone else said "No way he would grow his hair out all this time just to cut it off." I almost did a spit take right then but I held my composure and no one seemed to actually guess that that was my idea.

So after work the day before Halloween I headed off to Sports Clips and they proceeded to make my head look like 'B'. It was a blast, the girls at the shop had a blast looking at the Mr. T pictures on my phone. And we all had some good laughs when they hit me with the clippers and all that hair started hitting the ground.

Which all lead to 'C'. I showed up at work on Halloween in full mma gear with finger tape that said PITY and FOOL. It was a fun day. All my work colleagues seemed to be impressed and I had some fun.

Now, what the hell am I going to do next year...?

194 - the last photo

Here it is. The last picture of me with all the months growth of hair and beard in preparation for Halloween tomorrow. Right now I look a lot different, and tomorrow it will be more so. It's going to be a fun day.

The Next Element Podcast is rocking along and kicking down doors, give it a listen.

Coloring different pieces and I keep having opportunities thrown at me and I keep doing everything that I can fit into my schedule. I'm learning and I keep getting these great opportunities and I will happily share them with you guys once I am able to. Really great news coming in the next couple of weeks.

121 - and that's how M.O.D.O.K. saved Halloween Charlie Brown

Last night was a blast, went to a really fun costume party that I originally wasn't really excited about. I sadly just hadn't been feeling the Halloween spirit this year and didn't even want to go out. I was stuck reusing an old costume of mine only because I hadn't gotten on the ball and planned to do something cool, totally my fault. But as it was yesterday afternoon I was not looking forward to the night.

Then everything changed. By friend Marvin called and asked if we were going and if I could help with something. He had decided to go as Drunk Hulk and had talked over different ideas with his pregnant wife Alicia, and they had hit on the idea of turning their unborn into M.O.D.O.K. for the party. I loved it, thought it would be a blast, and suddenly had a burst of energy and a much better attitude. A little bit of grease paint,        a black shirt with a hole cut in it, and the arms and legs torn off of a doll and sprayed purple and here we have it - my favorite all time unborn baby costume - MODOK!

Have a Happy Halloween!
