What is Renaissance Man?

It’s a mini-magazine (or zine) that I personally write, design, produce, fund, and distribute. It was born from the idea that everyone should be a Renaissance Man.

In my eyes, a Renaissance Man is not someone who is simply talented in many fields, but in those they enjoy. There’s no reason you need to stick to one track in life.

Be a marathon runner, sculptor, and lawyer. Be a drummer, fashion designer, and astronomer.

Be a wakeboarder, magazine editor, and religion professor.Be everything you want to be.

In this issue you’ll find everything you’ll need to get in the Halloween spirit. Grab your candy corn, orange and black

Oreos, or caramel apples and get reading. This time of year always comes and goes too fast and it seems like

people become jaded with the holiday as they get older, so let’s recapture the magic.

WHYDON’TYOUCOMEIN?

Angel

You’ll always find me crunching leavesWhen I walk home from school,

Guided by these gifts from the trees

My eyes stay on these autumn jewelsThat gather like fire around my feet

Until at once appeared a bright white ghoul

No, an angel! of heaven come down to meetShe floats under an elm with leaves smooth

I must have done something right, what a treat!

I looked around for neighbors to poolFor them to gather and ruin with their heat

Her blank stare which had turned the air cool

But speak! Don’t be cruel,Who do you think I am? A fool?

I stood at the base of this being, heaven sent,Until I noticed the noose around her neck.

Costume The biggest problem people have on Halloween is not finding

something to do, but finding something to wear to their events. I don’t know why it is so hard for people to think of good costumes because there is inspiration everywhere—movies, books, music, life, etc. But

every year I see an endless number of guys and girls dressed in boring, packaged costumes that a thousand other people have.

Here are some ideas that you can steal and use. I just want you all to have fantastic costumes that make your Halloween amazing and win you prizes and all that. Even if you don’t find one here that you like,

hopefully these will help you come up with your own.

In October, the leaves fall as fastas the kids with their ropes,Rope swings into that autumn crunchone more time before the tree dies,Dye your hair dark with the seasonhalloween is just beyond the picket fence,Fenced in and closing with coming coldthe sun shines a little less every day,Daybreak is late but nature ignites rightaway with the ghosts and goblins ‘til night,Knights and wizards and faeries evenbut now my friends’ costumes are lacking,Lacking any current scary moviesI turn the pages of my daily paper,Paper lanterns may lose their appealbut I always find fear this time of year.

AHappy Halloweenfrom
