Feliz Dia de los Muertos!!

Hey its Starfier, well yesterday Nov 1st, was "el dia de los muertos" or in English Day of the dead. In the day of the dead, families in Latin America remember and honor their dead loved ounces. Families go to cemeteries, have a picnic with their dead relatives, and all the deseed. People cook the person who died their favorite dish and set it up on their grave for them to enjoy. Along with games, costumes, and songs.
This spooky holiday is Latin Americas version of Halloween. Expect it's much cooler.
Unfortunately, Juan didn't realize he had a potentially fatal marigold allergy until it was too late
According to costume on the day of the dead, the deseed come from heavens above and join the living for one day to celebrate and hang out. However some say the spirits that come out on this day are not so friendly and cause mischief.

 
The point of this holiday though is to celebrate the dead and respect them by honoring them. In this unique day people are able to understand death, and have fun.

 
El dia de Los muertos is a fun holiday to chill, play games, and spend quality time with your dead relatives.

Halloween Night!

The night of halloween everyone is excited and can't wait to get out the door, right? Wrong, this halloween I was excited to stay home and give out candy while my family went out trick-or-treating. My friend stayed with me to give out candy but before all this happened let me tell you what went down in the hours before. I was pretty much a make-up artist for about 2 hours. I got my little sister (age 4)  dressed up in her cheer leading outfit and did her hair, I also got to putt her make-up on, suprisingly it looked good. That gave me the idea that I was going to do everyone elses make-up on as well. So, next up was my other sister (age 12) she was some kind of gothic ballerina thing, so i put her make up on. The next thing was the best! My dad came in my room and told me to make him look like a zombie. This made my night, I got to put make-up on my dad! So I put black on his eyes and made his face look really gross. Then he told me and my friend to go outside and make his shirt look like something that would be on a zombie. So we hung it on the fence and sprayed ketchup on it like blood, and then let it dry, after that we ripped it up (it looked very zombie-ish). After that everyone went trick-or-treating, and I stayed home and gave out candy. It was fun, I saw some old friends, little kids dressed up in funny little costumes, and even had the occasional 25 year old dude come ask me for candy, I gave them some because I thought it was cool that they still wanted to act like a kid (but it was a little weird). So pretty much my night went well, and I had a lot of fun.

"Less than lady like" Costumes

Since when did Halloween turn from a happy time for little kids to get free food and dentists to become filthy rich to some stomping ground for grown women to compete for mates? The new trend for teen and gown women for Halloween is to dress up as sexy "insert profession here". It is just an uncreative show of women being forced in society to live up to other peoples standards. Another new trend that is equally if not more so annoying is women dressing up in lingerie and adding animals ears. So seriously ladies try thinking up something creative this year and not just buy the tightest fitting thing you can find. - Thespian














Here is an example of a "rabbit" costume.

Pizookie!

PIZOOKIE TIME.  What? You guys don't know what that is? Pizookie is delicious! It is a pan of brownies topped with your choice of vanilla bean, chocolate, vanilla macadamia nut, or peanut butter ice cream. Just the description of it gets you drooling doesn't it? Last night, my sister and I went to a restaurant/sports bar called BJ's. At this restaurant, we had some burgers and normal lemonade. But afterwards my sister pointed out a weird word. The word was "Pizookie." I laughed and told her to order it just for fun. Turns out, it was the most delicious thing i've ever tasted! So much chocolate in such a small platter. It wasn't very expensive, just the right amount, and it was really worth it. If you guys are interested in seeing what else they have to offer, click here! I think that it is truly wonderful and everyone should definitely try it. YUM.

LASA/LBJ Homecoming:)

Hey guys, It's Elephant Earz. I wanted to jump on here real quick and tell you about probably the best dance I've ever went to. It was the LASA/LBJ Homecoming. It took place on Oct.16. At first it started out slow and didn't look like anyone was going to show, but about 20 minutes after it officially started the party got jumping. All the different cliques did there thing. The Techno kids shuffled, while the Hip-Hop kids broke it down. Eventually, the cliques all joined together in the middle and had some sort of dance off. There was awesome music, food, and drinks and it seemed like everyone had a great time. I had to leave early, and i heard that the second half was even more amazing. But the part I got to see was awesome. Well, if you didn't get to go to this dance you should definitely hit up the next one because you missed out on a great time.
