What Makes Cooper Relax?


This week I agree, I needed a little R&R. So due to the coming holiday, I decided to prepare myself for the High Holy Day: Halloween. Why is Halloween the greatest holiday? You get to dress up like a complete fool and people love it. Each year I decide to make a more ridiculous costume, and despite my body type, one that I should not flaunt, I find myself in revealing costumes, such as Streaker, Underwear Model, and for this year: I will be a Mexican Wrestler, or Luchador. This week I began to get my things organized for such a great costume. I knew quite a bit about Luchadors from my extensive hours in field research: watching the movie Nacho Libre. I assembled my costume, a form fitting golden mask with eye, nose and mouth holes, my speedo, which is unfortunately three sizes too small, though I will still wear it, and my cape, and authentic Nation of Mexico flag. Overall, a pretty great costume.

This may not seem to be something that is relaxing to many, but I love the feeling of accomplish a task. This becomes relaxing because I can set very easy tasks for myself, and achieve them, I can sit back and do nothing for the rest of the day. Confused? It is okay. If I sleep in, I feel guilty that I have wasted the day, I have always been an active person, and doping something mindless like watching TV all day makes me feel like I am wasting my life. When I accomplish even a few tiny tasks, it gives me the justification to sit back and vegetate myself for the day, thus I relax.

There will certainly be a few pictures available of my costume after Halloween. Until then, you will just have to wait in anticipation.
