Your Dark Passenger

I was supposed to be telling you about my imaginary cooking show tonight, but I got pulled into thinking about energy shifts. Specifically, I’m thinking about the speculated 2012 energy shift.

What’s gonna happen, y’all? Any peeps with better developed psychic gifts than mine care to share what you “know” with the rest of the class?

Wait…that’s more of a side note than the point. I was just reading a post over at Merry Meet where Tara shared a personal experience. You can read the details over there, but she mentions the year 2005 in relation to 2012.

Can it really just be a coincidence that what happened to her was 7 years before the big whatever? Continue Reading »

Halloween is nearly upon us, dark passengers, but we still have time to plan for a bit of fun - even if we don’t have time to make the perfect costume or plan a killer party. Without further ado, I give you the official rules for the Paranormal Halloween Costume Drinking Game!

In case anyone is unfamiliar with how a drinking game works, I have to ask…Why are you reading this?

Ghosts:

Anytime you see someone in a ghost costume, you have consume a clear liquid…because ghosts are translucent.

• Kid wearing a white sheet - Do 2 shots to make his costume scarier
• Kid wearing a costume not like a sheet - Do 1 shot because the kid tried
• Kid wearing a scary ghost face costume from Scream or Scary Movie - Do 1 shot but add a shot of grenadine to it first because this is a slasher movie ghost!

Zombies:

Whenever you see a kid at the door dressed like a zombie, get out the beer because zombies are classic, run of the mill ghouls.

• Chug your beer for 10 seconds whenever a zombie comes to the door. It doesn’t matter what kind because they’re all the same.

Werewolves

Break out the mixed drinks my friend because these paranormal creatures are half human and half wolf. You’ll also need cayenne pepper, cinnamon or paprika on hand.

• Take 1 giant gulp of your mixed drink when a werewolf shows up at your door.
• If anyone shows up dressed like one of the wolf pack from New Moon (You know, the new Twilight movie?), you have to add a pinch of one of the spices to your drink. Why? That series basically bastardized werewolf lore so you have to taint your drink. Fair warning: You’ll probably see a lot of these so be prepared for an interesting drink.

Vampires

Get ready to get plastered on Halloween night because everyone and their dog is going to dress up like a vampire. For this, you need a “fashionable” drink like martinis, cosmos, bellinis, etc. You also need a bottle of hot sauce that has a shaker top.

• Take 2 big sips whenever you see a vampire
• Take 3 big sips if they have on an awesome vampire cape
• Down your drink if they have someone following them around with a wooden stake
• If a Twilight vampire shows up at your door, shake 1 drop of hot sauce directly on your tongue and take ONLY one sip of your drink

Special Bonus Character

If any girl shows up at your door dressed as Bella from Twilight on Halloween night, you must follow the rules for both Twilight vampires and the Twilight wolf pack because we all know Bella goes both ways.

Also, if anyone shows up at your door in costume who looks old enough to drive - besides parent and older sibling chaperones- throw a piece of candy at their forehead and slam the door. Drink whatever you’re supposed to for that costume, but do it twice because teenagers count as two kids.

Have fun drinking handing out candy!

Let me know if anyone’s left standing after this one…

“Let your dark passenger come out to play…Be your own nemesis!”

Happy weekend, dark passengers. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately wondering about whether you can ever escape your own psychic abilities. That must seem like an odd statement coming from someone who’s actively attempted to hone her gifts. I think it’s natural.

Personally, I find it exhausting to know how things are going to happen, how people feel, etc.

And I’m sick of hearing the TV when it’s on mute. It’s annoying.

For my part, I’ve put some serious effort into Continue Reading »

Greetings, dark passengers. Can you smell fear in the air? Don’t worry if not because, really, you can’t unless you happen to be a dog or a bee. The point is that it’s once again time to stock up on magic candles and nuts and salt and whatever else can ward off evilry because Halloween is around the corner.

So let’s chat about some of the Halloween superstitions that freak people out year over year.

If you’re born on Halloween then you can communicate with spirits.

Awesome. If you were born on Halloween and you see dead people, let us know. Still wondering how the people born the other 364 days of the year can still see ghosts. Perhaps leap year has thrown us off to the point that each day was Halloween at some point…

If a candle goes out by itself on Halloween, a ghost is visiting.

Awesome. I don’t light any candles and ghosts still visit me, but that’s beside the point. If people are going to get all freaked out when a candle goes out on Halloween night, wouldn’t common sense tell you not to light the candle in the first place?

If you see a spider on Halloween, it’s a dead loved one coming to visit.

Really? My loved ones would know better than that. My house is not what you’d call a spider-friendly hangout, Halloween or not.

It’s bad luck to burn Halloween candles any other day of the year.

Ah…So it’s not just silly to burn orange and black candles covered in ghosts the rest of the year? I’ll keep that in mind the next time I’m looking to light a romantic candlelit dinner in the middle of March.

Don’t let fires burn out on Halloween night or you’ll have bad luck.

Great. Now, remind me why I’m burning a fire at all? Oh, well. Just make sure you can get a priest to come over and relight it and you’re totally safe…until you find a conflicting superstition.

Casting a headless shadow is an omen of death.

Sure, I’ll go with this. Of course, I’m thinking the lost of your head has more to do with your death than the resulting shadow…

If you hear footsteps behind you on Halloween night, don’t turn around or you’ll look death in the eye and die!

A better solution is to run screaming like a crazy person from the 5-year-old fairy princess trick or treating with her parents behind you. Don’t want to look that little harbinger of evil in the eye, huh?

Toss a hazelnut into the fire for each guy you’re dating and the one that burns up will represent your true love.

Unless you read the other Halloween superstition where it tells you the one that burns up represents a shallow love that cannot last. Have fun with that.

So here’s the moral of the story, dark passengers…Failure to do something is bad luck, but doing anything is bad luck. Bottom line: Light a candle in your jack-o-lantern to ward off the evil piggy flu that’s gonna kill us all before we need to worry about that blown out candle killing us.

…or you might try throwing handfuls of salt on all the trick or treaters to ensure they aren’t demons come to the door to beg for candy. Whatever works for you.

So, what’s your favorite Halloween superstition? Is it one I left off the list? Tell us about it. Who knows? You might even save someone’s life by reminding them why they have to bob for that sour in the bucket of icy water!

Happy weekend, y’all.

Okay, so I’ve been away for a little while. *dusts off keyboard and blows cobwebs off the site* So, little might be an understatement, but you get what I mean.

Anyway, things have been a bit crazy for me with this recent assignment I’ve been working, but good news…It’s over at the end of the month so I’m looking forward to getting back to regular updates in October.

Hopefully one or two of you stuck around during the hiatus.
