BOO! š»
Itās Rocktober again, aka - regular October, aka- my favorite month of the year. I make it a point to go to a Rock concert every year (usually in October) but alas, this year I might not be able to follow through with my personal Rocktober concert tradition. Itās not because I donāt want to do it itās just that thereās no one touring right now that I want to go see. Metallica was touring earlier this year in the US, but I found out too late so I didnāt get to see them.
That wonāt follow me to my graveā¦
Then who else is touring right now letās see⦠No one! Thatās my point. Idk I might go see Mana later this month, maybe.
Other than for my nonsensical Rocktober holiday, October also happens to be my favorite month because the weather becomes chilly (brrr), the colors of the trees start changing to those very nice warm yellows and reds, and itās oh so beautiful dang it! Well, ok none of that happens here in Miami, but you know Iām talking from what I remember when I lived in the southwest. I love going out to pick out a pumpkin you know, just to have it around at my place until it becomes soggy and rotting, ah how lovely. I remember one year I went to a huge pumpkin patch to pick out a really big pumpkin. I walked around the field wearing a cozy sweater and a pair of boots, and I could hear a soft ācrunchā beneath my feet as I stepped over the fallen leaves. That was fun- even the cool breeze hitting my cheeks and drying up my face was ok. I didnāt even mind it.
The scary movies also make the change of season feel so festive, it just brings everything together. Itās like a holy Rocktober trinity - colder weather+pumpkins+scary movies, yeah thatās what itās all about. Well thereās a lot more involved in Autumn, but then it wouldnāt be a trinity you see so letās just omit the other stuff for now ok, itās not important.
Back to the horror films though- My faves are of course the old-school slasher films like Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Childs Play. Say what you will about Chucky, but those Childs Play films are gold, Gold I tell you! Every year I watch the first Childs Play film, and each time is more hilariously frightening than the last. I havenāt watched any of my old-school faves yet, but I did watch Rocky the other night- not a scary movie I know, but it's still great. I love that film. I also watched a new āhorrorā movie recently titled āI saw the Devilā and it was so awful, so so bad. B-b-b-b-b-bad, bad to the bone. Super stupid, but whatever, whatās done is done lol.
The Terminator is good too, Alien is awesome, Predator is funny, idk thereās so many that I like to watch around this time...
You know the only sad thing about October though, is that it quickly passes me by, and I never have enough time to spend with it.
