Address #4 - Do You Remember Halloween?

Oh what a holiday. I was talking about halloween with a friend earlier in the weekend and we were discussing that transition faze you go through when you stop trick or treating. We wondered, once you get too old to trick or treat, what exactly do you do on halloween? For most people, I think that age is about the time that you start to discover alcohol. Of course that's what you do. So long sugar high, hello hangovers. Of course, this means the all important halloween party that someone has to man up and throw while turning a blind eye as their house gets trampled by the untamed beast that is festive friends. This year, it just happened to be my house. This of course means some preparing for the festivities, such as carving pumpkins and making decorations.



The big project I decided to put on my table was my front yard graveyard. You might of seen my progress in a previous post, and my procrastination held me up to finishing it as people were starting to filter in. Perfectly measured out and mathematically near perfect, I was quite pleased with my work. Now, I consider myself a creative person, but I will be the first one to admit that I am no good at freehand drawing. However, I did always excel in math during high school. We may tend to think of our brains as built into separate parts, such as the musical and 'creative' brain, the limbic, while the rationality and 'intellectual' brain is the neocortex. I feel though that I have found a way to connect the two by using math for creative purposes. I feel that the brain shouldn't be thought of as different gears working together, but one big gear that can work given the right medium. This medium for me was headstones.





So, after all of that partying, do you remember halloween?
