At this time of the year, I usually have a great time checking out stores that sell costumes and other Halloween items. But this year is going to be different. It started out really strange. The last thing I want to see is someone dressed as a vampire. The Count asked, “Do you know if…

New York’s Greenwich Village Halloween Parade shouts with excitement. Creativity; style; imagination; no other parade comes close. A youthful exuberance for life fuels it. It’s a powder keg of anticipation and excitement, and the parade ignites the fuse. And afterward the bars and clubs are lit up with the intoxicated masses. It’s ready to explode.…

Halloween in New York starts with the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. That’s when the real partying begins. The parade starts around 7pm and stretches from Canal Street to 15th Street in Manhattan. I love it. It’s my favorite parade. Last year I went as a skeleton and my sister as a clown.

There is a world that breathes fire and brimstone… but rather than be afraid, its enticing green allure intoxicates many people. There is an underground network of deception and fraud. A huge snake slithering under the very fabric of a civilized society. The scent of money fuels its passion. Those that are hypnotized become part…

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Where does the time go? They say that time flies by when you’re having fun. And I’ve had plenty of fun. A non-stop party. I’ve danced. I’ve dined. Romanced. Laughed. Lived. I’m twenty-four now. And for the past five years I’ve been a burglar. I’ve robbed over fifty…

The titillating wisp of life, while fleeting, is still something to behold. I like to party like there is no tomorrow. And I hang out with people that are like-minded. We inhale life to the fullest, and for us there is no other way to live. We empty the glass. And then the bottle. The…
