Our parents helped us pick out our costume (read: they led us to believe we were picking, when they made the real decisions), and then we went in search of the best houses to fill our pillowcase with candy.
But with the years, our focus changes.
We all still like a little candy, but now Halloween is fun because of the costumes.
Witty, macho, punny, gruesome, retro, and/or possibly even a bit risque.
My friend Marcus offered this gem of a quote on his blog:
"My cousin always told me that the way people dress on Halloween is the way they wish they could dress everyday of their lives. Think about it, it's kinda true."Any arguments on that? Though it maybe isn't true in all cases, I can see some truth to it.
So let's see how I want to dress every day, based on my past Halloween costumes.

Besides the reappearance of the green spandex 4 years later? Yikes.
How do you want to dress everyday? Or rather, what are you going to be for Halloween this year?
I'm working on a couple ideas for various parties, and I'll share pics afterwards.
