I don't know why anyone could hate Halloween.  Grinches that don't like to dress up baffle my mind.  I genuinely can't think of anything more fun than putting on a costume and running around like a crazy person in it.  I've been this way for as long as I can remember.  I tend to go for a bit of a shock factor, and I usually mix funny/gross with sexy.  I've NEVER been a sexy mouse, kitten or super hero, but I have been a Tranny Hooker, a Slutty Pig, and a Dead Amy Winehouse.  My favorite costume to date has to be from this year.  My main man Dan and I went as the guys from the pilot episode of Breaking Bad.  I can't lie, my Walter White was pretty sick, and I am deeply saddened to have to put him to rest.
My boyfriend and I have a costume closet, bigger than either of our regular closets.  When we moved into our new place this summer, having enough space for our costumes was a genuine concern.  I make my dog participate as well, and I'm sure when we have kids, ours will be the best and strangest dressed on the block. 

I remember a time when you could watch t.v. on the internet without having to sit through constant commercial breaks. Now everything is full of advertising. Even “clips” have a fifteen second ad in front of them. Here are some of the commercials on t.v. right now that bug the hell out of me:    

1.The Chase cash back spokesperson singing an alternate version of “Footloose”. Were we not all in agreement that this was already an awful song, and did not need to be altered to fit a bank’s debit card’s reward system? Come on.

2. Seriously. What is this, 1997? She looks like the “before” photo in every hair commercial, without the “after”.

3. Any Mitt Romney endorsement ad.
4. The Verizon commercials with the focus group. Those people look so pissed off that they are being spoken to as if they were a group of 4 year olds. That smarmy dude with his dumbed down graph can suck a big one.

5. The Fancy Feast engagement commercial. You know what, Fancy Feast, oddly enough, the vomit this commercial induced looked a lot like what you sell in those tiny tin cans. The fact that this company has the budget to make a minute long commercial where the cat food itself makes an appearance only at the end makes me  very angry. And this ad is obviously geared towards women. Which makes me even angrier. They too can suck a big one.

Howdy! I'm Hanie. Pronounced Annie with an "H" in front of it. Or like the word "handy" but without the "d". Sometimes when I'm in a loud bar I have to point to my hand and then to my knee to form the word han-knee. When I make reservations at restaurants I generally don't give my real name. I say my name is Trudy because Trudy doesn't sound like any other name except Trudy. Also, Trudy is the name of my best childhood friend. The name Hanie is taken from a really bad western that Raquel Welch starred in. The name of this popular film was Hannie Caulder. Raquel played the role of Hannie. My mom was watching this when her water broke. Also, Filipino mother's love to name their children after celebrities in hopes that one day their child will also be a celebrity. My mother thought it was best to remove an "n" from my first name because Hannie Lynn Lynch had way too many "n's" in it. This is why people pronounce my name "HAY-nee" instead of "HAN-nee". Now you know a little bit about me. My name is Hanie Lynn Lynch and I am very pleased to meet all of you. Thank you for reading my very first blog entry.
