gentleman the problem with halloween is that eventually you get tired
of wearing the mask....the costume becomes a burden the fun,,,wears off
and we simply wanna return to ourselves.

but in order to get what theyre handing out ...to reap the rewards of the process
.....we have to continually play dress up and dance around for the audience.

and for me a handful of candy corn and shit load of mini snickers is not worth the
price of another mask.....

.....and we danced around like a monkey while the world shoots conditioning bullets
at our feet for so long........that we actually fool ourselves into believing
we love this song and dance....

but man its not freaking  dance.....its high stepping for our lives....think about it
were struggling just to stay afloat....all the while another mask in the guise of
a lifesaving floatie is thrown RIGHT out of our reach....

DH lawrence said it best when he said "perhaps youre a slave to your own idea of yourself:
end quote.....

ive been a slave to the idea of WHO I AM SUPPOSED TO BE....and its a fucking boa constrictor
around your throat, heart and very life.....

you ever sprinted a long distance, had a panic attack, been suddenly overcome with some catastrophic
ordeal........that shit is like the biggest elephant in the world  sitting on your chest.....

GET OFF OF ME YOU FAT WOKE FEMINIST.....

but lets carve away at this premise of being a slave to an IDEA of yourself.....

because ideas are good, and different hats for different occasions are necessary.....
for example i dont wear the hat of best friend, when I'm gathered with co-workers in a work
meeting atmosphere...

and i dont wear the hat of dad when i am with a lady friend....

imagine the confusion....its time clean up and go to bed lady friend.....well maybe those hats can be
worn simultanesoly....BUUT

We accustomed ourselves to transition from hat to hat because it is the oil that lubricates the
friction from interaction to interaction....

it makes life a little bit damn easier to navigate

the more capable we are in adjusting to each situation as needed the more proficient
we are in playing the game of life......BUUUTTT

we have to remember...these different hats should all come from the same hat rack....
the rack representing your code...your honor...your set of rules you play by...

too many men today don't even own their own hat......

theyre renting whatever popular hat is
being passed around like some promised contagious and fun std..... at an epstein party...

yep the hat seems to fit perfectly until you get home and realize you have a head full of lice
.........in which for the proverbial nineteen dollars and 99 cents.....they'll sell you
the lice treatment as well as a new hat.....

sound familiar......i want us to think about this.....our so called ambitions, dreams, purpose......
where did they come from....are they yours.....are they someone else's.....what's the end game of your ambitions

do they fully satisfy you and you alone....or does it require a tremendous effort just to stay afloat

so that at the end of the day....at the END of your life...you enjoy a few handfuls of candy corn...

and who in the hell invented candy corn anyway.....

our mission here is to avoid the candy corn of life...

so whats the difference between the masks of the materialistic world and the hats of functioning utility

.........for one the masks are not an ACCESSORY to moving through life....the mask is a substitute for
who you can be....or could have been......the mask covers your true identity....

they say...."here try this on for size and see how it feels.....thats how they get you....act this way and you will be rewarded....
buy this car....this dream.......pursue this life with this mask and all will end in rainbows and ice cream......

....not for you of course but for somebody higher up the ladder TAILORING the next mask for THEIR well being...

they keep shooting bullets at your feet leaving you scrambling for THEIR next cause.....

The hats of life on the other hand are of your own making....you choose which hat to wear....fully recognizing
the accessory is to your benefit in orienting your way through the game of life......

key word....YOUR LIFE.....not the cheap life of another manufactured idea of who we are supposed to be and howwere supposed to act.....but a life lived by our own damn rules

and that's freedom, sovereignty,,,and actually living life......

struggling and hating who i am SUPPOSED to be has crippled the very nature of what i could be

that idea within every man to climb the highest tree....to go a little farther into the darkness searching for
new light.......that idea that says be a man

well that idea doesnt fit into the agenda of the societal standard.....so they spoon feed you a new ideology
a new mask....and tell you how fucking beautiful you are in your new prision cell......
