When it comes to Halloween, Des Moines is a special place... and by special, I mean dumb. In Des Moines you don't go trick-or-treating on Halloween ( I won't be going at all, because my mom called me this morning to tell me I am not allowed... I am 25, but I digress), you go the night before Halloween and it is called Beggar's night. This is stupid. I think that if there were people out there that had intentions of doing horrible things, they wouldn't probably hear the same news report you did about the name and night change and do it on that night.... But whatever. In any case, last night was Beggar's Night. So I hurried up after work and went to the gym, so I could go to my friends house and hand out candy to all the little snot rockets. Only three flipping people showed up!!! I hurried my ass up for one two year old that had no idea what was going on and two sixteen year old ho-dags that didn't even dress up!!!! Pu-lease!
Then, I knew the night wasn't going to be a total let down because the premiere of Nip/Tuck was on. I went home, put on my fav pink fuzzy robe (I looooove living alone)... and settled in for the what was sure to be a dramatic sitcom masterpiece... Wrong-o. It kind of sucked too. There were some decent parts, but over all... not loving it.
I went to bed feeling disappointed and empty. Ok, not really disappointed and empty... I am smart enough to know that it is a TV show and some stupid tradition that I myself have never even participated it... But, I seriously wasn't happy!

My name is Charlie and I am an addict.
For some reason I have been putting on lip gloss like it is my damn job. I used a whole tube in like a week or two and then had to make a late night trip to Victoria Secret's to get more... like I was driving to the ghetto to get some crack from my dealer.
I am surprised people don't get stuck to my face when they walk by me...
Weekend Report!
Friday, as I told you, I was in such a bad mood at work. I went home early and Oprah was about guys with several wives… that made my mood a little better, I never get to watch Oprah and it was something good! Then I got ready and I thanks to it not being humid, I didn’t have total fro hair, so even better still! Then, not only did they have Corona light at the gas station, they also had a lime… so I only had to make one stop!!! What bad mood????
The concert was awesome that night. I know like 10 Rascal Flatts songs and they didn’t sing any of them… but it was still a great time. After the concert we went to Drink and as we were leaving the waitress asked if she could get mine and my friend’s phone number to put us on the VIP list for the Halloween party the next night… so it was shaping up to be a spectacular weekend!!!
The next day I woke up early, feeling great, and it was a beautiful day. I went to the costume store with April to get her costume for the night… Luckily I had one from like three years ago that I hadn’t worn yet, so that saved me at least $50! I went to the gym and then headed home to get ready for the night. While I was getting ready, the cocktail waitress called and confirmed that I was going to be at that bar that night and said that we were for sure VIP, so that meant we drank free all night!!!!! I am not going to lie, that made me feel pretty damn cool! We had so much fun; there were so many funny and creative costumes.
Sunday I relaxed, napped, and watched TV and then met my friend Tammy for a movie. After the movie Tammy, her boyfriend, and I went to a haunted house. They told me that I wasn’t a true Des Moinesian until I had been to Lynn’s Haunted House. It just so happened that Lynn’s Haunted House was the back section of a grocery store in a neighborhood that I probably wouldn’t go to alone… even in the daylight. I was scared alright, and we hadn’t even been through the haunted house! It turned out to be such a good one and the fact that I was really scared for my life being in some dark grocery store in a bad part of down, only made it even better!!! It was a pretty fun adventure and aside from the fact that I walked into a wall trying to get through the dark maze and damn near knocked myself out… it was perfect!

Freakin Friday
This morning my alarm went off at 4:45!!! Thanks to my neighbor’s noisy lovemaking session during the night, I was not happy. I ended up getting up at about 5:15, so I could be in to work at about 6:45… I am going to the Rascal Flatt concert tonight, and I wanted to leave work around 4, so had to bite the bullet and get my butt in here. Now, I am in a crappy, crabby mood.
I tried to make my morning better with a trip to Starbucks (I broke that addiction cold turkey about a month ago…). But that didn’t even seem to help.
The concert should be fun though… Seeing as my concert experience pretty much boils down to Carmen and Amy Grant, I don’t have a whole lot to compare it to.
Hopefully my mood improves, because at this point… I don’t even want to hang out with myself!!!
On a completely random side note-I recently started actually using my myspace account. Most of you know I had a fake one for a while so I could just look at other peoples, but I decided to take the plunge. Anyway, like 90% of my friends are my little brother and sisters friends. It is really cute when they friend request me and I have met them like once. Bunch of little sweeties!

Travel Schmavel…
The good news is I got some good reading time in while I was out of the office. I read “American Gangster”… the new book that the new movie with Denzel is based on. Pretty good! While I was sitting at the airport an older guy walked by and said, “American Gangster, huh?” and gave me a weird look, like I should be reading Mary Poppins instead… whatev.
When I booked my car for the trip, I got a free upgrade to a “Cool Car” which was a “Sporty Eclipse or similar”… little things make me super happy, so I was excited about that. I got there and they of course gave the Eclipse away, but they did give me a 2008 black Mustang, which was all chromed out. I felt so cool. My hair blowing in the wind, music cranked up… right up until I had to go through a toll booth. This was a problem, because I didn’t have a damn dime!!! I don’t ever carry cash… note to all you would be muggers out there reading my blog and plotting…
I was quickly humbled as I sat, creating a line behind me, and wrote a $ 0.75 check to the Florida Department of Transportation… not once, but twice!!! Oh yeah, I am hot!!!
