Ahhh...so your family still observes the holiday here? Weird thing is that once she immigrated to the US, my mom didn't celebrate it but observed Halloween instead (if at all). She would also tell me the same story of her brother eating the ofrendas over and over again.
Feliz Día de los Muertitos.

In Guanajuato (where I spent a lot of time as a child and adult), you CANNOT disassociate the festival (as it IS a celebration of the life of the person rather than a mourning) with the fantastic art of José Guadalupe Posada. Notice how happy they are....reflects the celebration. I have my little shrine all set up.

It's basically a day of remembering relatives who have passed away and its a time to celebrate life (correct me if I'm wrong, Guids). Families in Mexico and most of Latin America make food for their dead relatives and place them at the altar or at their graves.
My mom told me on several occasions that she and her family would make the food and place them at the graves of their dead relatives. The next day, the food would be completely gone, and everyone thought the dead came back to life the night before to eat it all up. Later on she discovered that one of her brothers would sneak out and eat the food.

LOL I bet. Here, usually if even teenagers are seen trick treating they're really frowned upon. It's viewed as something for younger kids here, if we gave out treats (which we don't simply because hardly anyone is in to it enough to make it worthwhile) we'd be happy just to see an effort made with costumes - sometimes you see kids going around wearing nothing but those kids towels that have a hood on them. That's not a proper costume! LOL!

Very poignant post, geeds! Wonderful insight into a very misunderstood holiday. Its funny how other cultures view death and lost loved ones. The celebrations that most cultures have are proof (once again) that we Americans have so many hang ups... I blame the christians..... HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!! (Kidding!! No flame posts, please!!!)

Well it would appear that we all ( or most ) made it through the fiendish evening and lived to see another first of November. NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!! Good Lord! Where did this year go? Simply amazing how quickly the months pass us by. And I must admit, this year has been one to remember. What a GREAT tour by the Priest and all the meet-ups we managed to put together and all the memories we have made...again!
Perhaps sitting here this early in the morning beside the fire puts me in a bit of a pensive mood? I don't know for sure but I find that I recall this year with great fondness, for I have seen many wonderful things this year and spent time with some special people. I look back over the posts and I see that so many of us have shared time with one another. Time. Our most precious of assets and greatest of gifts. And there were some that shared that precious gift with me. I cannot thank them enough.
As yet another year winds to an end, I find that I am once again so very grateful for the wonderful people of this Board. You guys make some of the terrible days much better and the good ones great. Thanks to all of you for another great year and lets be sure to do it all again come January!! |

Yeah, trick-or-treating for Halloween is a big thing here in the States. It's mainly for the kids, but it's just as fun doing it as an (almost) adult...although you do get alot of raised eyebrows from the candy-givers.

It's basically a day of remembering relatives who have passed away and its a time to celebrate life (correct me if I'm wrong, Guids). Families in Mexico and most of Latin America make food for their dead relatives and place them at the altar or at their graves.
My mom told me on several occasions that she and her family would make the food and place them at the graves of their dead relatives. The next day, the food would be completely gone, and everyone thought the dead came back to life the night before to eat it all up. Later on she discovered that one of her brothers would sneak out and eat the food.

It does not take a whole lot of talent to put on a pair of headphones and play a record or sing through a synthesizer while some pre-recorded music plays and some lame-ass dancers writhe around behind you, or rhyme "bitch" with "itch"! This is what passes for "musical talent" these days. Not a great impetus to actually learn to play an instrument when any clod can pick up a microphone and become a "star" simply by turning their baseball cap backwards and wearing a basketball jersey, or putting on a pair of spandex bikini bottoms and leather boots and wiggle their backside to someone else's recorded music. Worse yet, people actually spend their hard earned money on this garbage!!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!
I think you have the right idea in that you are doing this for yourself. That is a GREAT idea, my friend! Play the music YOU like and that YOU love and do it for all the right reasons. If you need me to be involved, consider it done!

| Have a good and safe weekend everybody!!! If you're partying this weekend, enjoy, and don't do anything genuinely stupid (like hopping into the driver's seat of your car or someone else's when you KNOW FULL WELL you've had that '..one too many..'). As you make your rounds on Saturday, be wary and cautious of the wee ones as they make their door-to-door haunts for free candy... LOL! And by all means....as has been traditionally done now for the better part of some 40 years now....INSPECT YOUR CHILDREN'S LOOT BAGS UPON GETTING HOME!!! Who knows what sicko out there is doing to that stuff or WHAT they're handing out.....be scrutinous....after all, there HAVE been used needles (and worse) thrown into those bags and buckets in years' past....sick, I know..but, it happens. |

I've already worked you into my ideas without even asking you Freeze!!! HAHA!! True! Hell yeah my friend,I've got some ideas that I think you will dig.That is very odd that you guys can't find a bass player,I've noticed up here that there aren't that many musicians avaible these days compared to the 80's or even the 90's. I've also noticed the last 10 years there are loads more thrash/death/black metal musicians that wanna play thrash/death/black metal than there are musicians that wanna play heavy metal.
I've been a fan of black metal since 1983 when I first heard Venom and a fan of death metal when I first heard Slayer back then as well and there has been some very "valid" bands that have emerged onto the scene since then....but the "scene" of black metal and death metal wasn't meant to be "this large" as it is today. Black metal used to be hidden and even when it got noticed more it still was able to keep it's elite sense of establishment but the last 10 years from 1999 to 2009...its lost it's over all purpose I think.The entire black metal scene was just not meant to have thousands of bands where as heavy metal could have tens of thousands of bands because of the genre's ideology. Thats why I want to do a heavy metal project instead of a death/black/thrash metal project,not too many people are into traditional british heavy metal these days compared to the other genres.

Hey JD, I would be available for a "guest spot" on that album of yours should you feel that you need a "big name" guest vocalist......HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!! Seriously, you know I would love to be a part of your work if you need me!
All quiet here in Freezeville. Livin the life and layin low. Working with the new band AND still doing that new album with the other guys!!! We finally came up with a decent name for the group. We are now known as "Of This Earth"... Has a catchy ring to it, I think. I have NO idea what the live act here in Vegas will be called. Believe me when I tell you this is a "ground floor" effort! HA!!!!!!!!!!! We are a fair distance from a record contract, I can assure you. We should be ready to play some of the local bars here in a couple more months. Having one hell of a time finding a bass player. Jeez!!! What happened to the days when musicians were coming out of the woodwork??? Ah well, will keep you all updated as more news trickles in. Enjoy your weekend!!!!! |
