a funky pilgrim?

I’m pretty happy with the outfit I chose for my first regular day at the store. Except for my feet that is, by the end of the day they were screaming. But I was rockin’ it.

And I forgot to post a final picture of the Max costume I was working on. It came out pretty darn well if I do say so! The whiskers were definitely the best part, they stuck out perfectly. And Maxman was thrilled to say the least. He had a really high temperature the night I dropped it off, but as soon as he saw it he jumped right up. He ran around me yelling “be still” for like 5 minutes. It was beyond adorable.

I really wanted to make a Halloween post to show off some awesome costumes I saw, but I neglected to do so because I was too busy living the fuck it lifestyle pretty hard. This mostly entails hanging out with really fun people, riding around in a 1982 limo, and doing whatever you want (short of hurting other people or stealing from anything non-corporate). Mark Twain had the same idea, he just said it a million times more eloquently. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

And it lead to one of the most fun weekends of my life I’d say. My brother recently moved to Columbus to get paid to go to school, but then realized that being a college dropout is much more fun; an idea I stand behind strongly. So he bought a 1982 white limo and dropped out, (accepting his hillbilly tycoon fate by doing so) which enabled us to bring 11 people and my dog back to Columbus to live the fuck it life, at least for a weekend. We partied with some really good people on Halloween, and I was very impressed with the caliber of homemade costumes.

Homemade Beetlejuice costume, awesome!

Best costume by far, and all homemade!

I was Walter, but I don’t have one of us together yet.

So the morning after this obviously high-class shindig, our resident fantastic chef, Carey made us a feast that could not be beaten.

And we spent the rest of the day recovering, watching It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and the thrifting until we dropped. Here’s the best picture of the weekend, all 14 of us just after we all piled out of the limo behind us.

the fuck it brigade

I highly recommend trying just a little bit of fuck it in your day today. See if it works for you. I bet it will.
