What are we left to do?: Halloween Reflections from Joe Trohman

creepfest 07 is coming up. yep, that's right, every child's excuse to dress up like said japanese anime character, every weirdos excuse to put poison in a snickers bar and hope they end up on the news, and that really just leaves the rest of us. were stuck in the middle. were far too sane and caring to poison children, and yet we are way to old to dress up. a skimpy nurse or devil costume is not a costume by the way, just blatantly sans clothing if you understand my lingo. what are we left to do? well, you could be like me, treat it as a normal day, catch the latest in television crime dramas, or possible romcoms. but you don't want to sit inside, you're used to the nature of the holiday, stuff that satan likes. i get it. im a professional fan of satan's favorite holiday, though i thrive under the cloak of mediocrity these days. i cant very well promote vandalism i suppose, as it could technically then be my fault, and would be my first time getting in trouble for eggs i didn't throw at _______'s house. if we are actually celebrating satan's favorite day of the year, why not be sloth-like and lazy? there is excellent programming on the discover channel. gluttony is pretty bad, and delivery is always fantastic. there are ways to celebrate this glorious of occasions. just not dressed up like a nutcase.

I actually cannot figure out what the hell he's talking about.

I guess he's not a fan of Halloween?

That was a weird post...

Does that not seem totally out of character for Joe, though?

Plus, this is almost completely incoherent and sounds really pissed off.

Yeah, the 'don't worry about what you can't change' thing either relates to Marie or the band breaking up. I get the impression Pete is thinking seriously about calling it a day, and Joe doesn't want to.

i think it could possibly be marie. he could be down because he misses her or something happened, he hasn't been going to press stuff lately or like doing radio interviews either. i thought he'd be totally stoked about his website going up, but i think me and you expressed more happiness about it. i'm sure he was happy on the inside, it didn't show though. after pete's blog it made me think that he could be down about it. i think joe thinks too much and i bet being on the road away from other people he knows doesn't help when he's feeling down :[

At risk of sounding like a whining edge kid, the dope probably doesn't help.

My mother smoked pot for years and it really fucks you up and makes you depressed. I wish he'd lay off it for his own sake.

There is definitely something wrong in Camp Troh.

i used to smoke, and yeah, it can really mess with you, especially when you're already feeling down. i woke up and read his entry like three to four times before i dropped a comment. you commented right after me too haha. anyway i was kind of worried, so i'm glad i'm not the only one. you're like my joe troh consultant, i knew if there was anyone that would really know if he was down or i was over worrying it'd be you.

Haha. Thanks. I really only speculate, though. I don't honestly know him better than anyone else.

yeah, same here. for all we know he could just be having a bad day. or missing home. there could be a ton of reasons. from what i've picked up on it could be more, but troh's the only one that really knows. either way, i hope he cheers up.

Me too. Joe's supposed to be the cheery one.

Dude, that is really, really not like Joe. There's no capitals, which is kinda odd for him.

I get the feeling this is perhaps not really about Halloween at all.

Me too, dude.

I'm fairly sure he was totally off his face when he wrote it, though.

That would make a lot of sense.

"I don't want to go out on Devil's Night or Halloween, because I'm too old and don't want to look like a moron so I'll stay inside and order take out", is what I took from it. But I don't really care enough to look for deeper meaning. I just care that you care, you know?

This is so unlike Joe, though. Joe's Happy Cat.
