Happy Halloween!

 Hi! 

Well, we are getting ready to do our first karaoke show since pre-pandemic times! 

I'm glad Halloween is the first one back. I love the costumes, and the whole vibe of a Halloween gig. Everyone is a little more willing to let their hair down and relax into the fun. Something about dressing as something, or someone else gives that freedom. 

With all that is messed up in the world, it's nice, and it's important to take a few hours every now and again, and blow off steam.

If it's getting dressed up as who knows what and singing your heart out, if it's going dancing until you can't possibly dance any more, if it's heading out to a comedy show, play, or movie, just letting yourself sink into some fun for no other reason that you want to, just let it happen. Make it happen. 

I refuse to believe we were put on this planet to slog from one hardship to another. We can't have been put on this planet to not enjoy it. We are not meant to simply 'get through things. 

There is nothing wrong with cutting loose, getting goofy, and just having fun for fun's sake. Shenanigans are a necessary part of a happy life. We were never meant to outgrow them, only to get better at them. Our shenanigans may not look the same all the time, different circumstances require different shenanigans. 

So, let go of your troubles, your stress, and any difficult things you happen to be dealing with, and dance/sing/laugh it out for a while. You're allowed.

Shenanigans are out there for the taking, for the making, for hell of it. Go for it. 

Well, my friends, I need to go rehearse for our show, and get my house ready to mildly traumatize the neighbourhood kids on Monday. 

What?! You have your shenanigans, I have mine!
