What is so Creepy About Jeepers Creepers

I watched lot of scary movies throughout my life. Movies with moments that make you jump or make you scream your lungs out or even leave the room. Perhaps that is a fun of the scary movies - to scare us beyond our imagination sometimes. However, scary is not enough. I think creepy effect has a more profound effect on people. It is the effect in the movie that produces a sensation of fear. It is the effect that give you goose-bumps and suddenly one is experiencing that moment where things are crawling up your skin. Hair-rising is just normal.

"creepy defined: causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease"

Years passed since we last watched a movie called the Jeepers Creepers. It was definitely scary but also a creepy movie. We remember watching on the regular channel after 8 o'clock. One hour of the movie passed and suddenly we lost a channel. Was it done on purpose? Was it done so we go and rent a movie to see the creepy moment. Perhaps yes. Perhaps no. However, we did ended up renting the Jeepers Creepers movie that night. Not sure if it was a curiosity that drove us to the rental place or just we wanted to have this creepy sensation up our spines.

So we watched the whole movie that night. The glitch didn't stop us. The ending was okay, it was just scary. But the most creepy part of the movie Jeepers Creepers was when we watched this tall supposed to be a man with a long arms. He was wearing hat and black trench coat and he was dumping something in the garbage. It was that one scene that really creeped us out along with those in the movie who watched that creature man with dismay.

Happy Halloween! May you have hair-rising experience today.

Halloween and The Rain

Last few days we had an amazing comfortable weather. We were all hoping to be the same for the Halloween day. It never works like that. The clouds were already accumulating and often we would get winds bringing spookiest clouds ever. Wouldn't that be fun for Halloween? Of course it would.

Lucky us our little one still enjoys only visiting the people he knows. He didn't really enjoy being scared by the creatures that would come out form the houses and having a pleasure to scare him. He rather see a face someone he knows. He also knows that that way he will be able to pick and choose a candy.

He also enjoys giving out candies and seeing all the dressed up children to visit him. At the same time he will be jumping out to pose with his spiderman costume. Rather than collecting candies which he will not be able to eat, he will be meeting scary, beautiful and smiling faces at the door.

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! By the way, Happy Halloween here in Canada.

Mid-Night Snack

'Mom can I eat some of your midnight snack', Matthew asked.
'Absolutely not', I replied.
'But Mom I already had your midnight snack', he said.

Not sure where he got the idea, but eating first and then asking he figured out his treats are guaranteed. This is not the first time he ate and then asked.‬

How Do We Make Paper, Kids Talk

Throwback Thursday in Words ... back in 2011 when Matthew was about 3 years old. ‪

'Mommy how we make paper?', Matthew asked.
'You know how we make paper', I replied back.
'I told you so many times', I added.
'First we kill a cow' - he started.
'No, no this is how we make meat', I stopped him.
'Oh' - and he laughed.

What Happened To Me for Three Years

Yes what happened to me. All I can say nothing much, just ventured out to do other local community engagement activities that revolved around raising Matthew. Matthew is now over 6 years old. I just read my last blog post I wrote here about him being able to write a letter M. Well, he now writes and reads; and he reads one grade above grade one. We are very proud of him, he is our very smart little man. From day one I enjoyed so much watching him growing up and learning new things everyday and continue to do so.

Last night I re-visited my blogger and I visited one by one all the blogs on my reading list. I have also noticed that many stopped writing about one or two years ago and many are still around.

I am very active on Twitter (@amlozyk) and on Facebook now, however, I realized last night how much I miss just spilling my thoughts everyday here on the story blob blog, just like I did couple of years ago.

I shall return soon, but let me leave you with couple of conversations I had today with Matthew. 

'Mom can I eat some of your midnight snack', Matthew asked.
'Absolutely not', I replied.
'But Mom I already had your midnight snack', he said.

Not sure where he got the idea, but eating first and then asking he figured out his treats are guaranteed. This is not the first time he ate and then asked. I believe that he is also feeling guilty thus letting us know in any form or shape that he helped himself to the treats.

Today Matthew had a little accident at school. He collided with another boy from grade four. The impact was so hard that he fell on the ground face down and broke his sun-glasses. School called and we just took him home. After we all settled and everything was good I headed to review his lunch box.

'Hey Matthew how come you didn't eat your lunch?', I asked.
'Oh I was tired', he replied.
'Oh but you managed to eat your treats', I stated.
'That was by mistake', he replied.

Surprise Me Sometimes and Buy Me a Toy, Kids Talk

'Mom you should surprise me sometimes', Matthew told me today.
'Like what?', I asked.
'You know, like buying me a toy or giving me some money', he replied.
'I only have lots of cents but not many dollars', he added.

First Wiggly Tooth and An Expensive Request to Tooth Fairy, Kids Talk

We found first wiggly tooth. In the very early morning today we told Matthew about Tooth Fairy so after disappointment of loosing teeth he realized the good thing - all the things he can buy. At breakfast I had to tell him to discuss all the financial matters with a tooth fairy because we do not decide how much money he gets. Let see how long until he starts negotiating again.
