It's seems that always around this time of year it's October. Not much certainty in this life of ours, but it seems like after every September there's an October. I remember my last October, must have been a year ago. It was almost exactly like this one. The leaves were falling, a faint chill was in the air. Nobody quite knows why, but you'll often find it chilly in October. I've been a lucky fellow, hanging onto this dustball for forty-two years and seeing forty-two Octobers. It's the crazy kind of coincidence that makes life worth living. Now in this fast-paced, modern-age of telephones and coffee machines seems folks are getting their Octobers sooner and sooner each time our lovely little planet loops around. Wasn't like that when I was a kid. When we was young, we never knew when October was coming or when it was leaven. We just took what we got. But who's to say they's wrong and we's right? I don't know. I don't know. But I hope--anna pray--that when sheets make their way back to our beds and plastic pumpkins hold nothing but wrappas we'll find ourselves not in the company of a November.

October always reminds me of how I quit my job in October of '03, then FFXI came out the next day. For about two months, I was that unemployed 20-something guy who lived with his parents and did nothing but play an MMO all day, every day. The job I ended up getting came to me. I wasn't even looking for a job. My friend found it for me and pestered me into getting it. Oddly enough, that job turned into the job I have now, that I'm leaving... in October.

October always puts me in the mood for birthday cake.

My birthday cake.




My birthday is in October.

October means no more 100 degree days, and no more bugs. I can sit out on my back deck and drink and smoke a cigar without sweating through my clothes or swatting bugs away.

I <3 October. I <3 Fall.

This, minus the cigar (apparently Belk is more cultured than I am?).

October means I'll be 30 in 9 days. October means I'm going to Hawaii in 22 days. It probably means some other stuff too, but I'm too busy being angsty about those two.

Why would you be angsty about going to Hawaii? Is it because you may be too old to fly?

Everything is awesome about Hawaii, except a) I'm basically going alone, and b) I'll have to catch up on a week's schoolwork. Also I've never flown commercially before.

Well it's important to focus on those things. Just do me a favor and update your will so if you die of a heart attack I can go to Hawaii instead.

You know I was joking the other day when i said to step off the beaten path there, yes? Also, flying is a joke. Nothing to be scared of, not until you're flying home anyway. Then maybe a terrorist might take the plane over. But not on the flight away from the East Coast.

You need to get some sweet Hawaiian ***, Ash.

If you've never flown "commerically," how have you flown? On a private jet? Because that's pretty awesome. How long is the flight?

I have a friend who has been a pilot since we were both in high school. He took me up in his little Cessna once. I got sick.

The only time you'll feel anything on a commercial plane, really, is take off and landing. Unless there's turbulence, then it might get a little bumpy. But if you're worried, you could get some Dramamine.

I already have a stock. I didn't learn about Dramamine until after the Cessna Incident.

Smiley: lol

Have a good time, and take lots of pictures. You should meet Pikko and have her make you a Bento.

I almost said something dirty, but I decided not to 'cause Pikko seems too sweet and innocent to make those kinds of jokes about her.

October is when places start selling their pumpkin items. Pumpkin latte, pumpkin muffins, cakes, ice cream, cheesecake, pie, anything. Pumpkin is amazing.
