Black Friday Shoppers

There is nothing I hate more than Black Friday Shoppers.  I understand the whole idea of saving money in a recession and all that but, beating and yelling at people in the process is totally unnecessary and unholiday-like.  I got the honor of working in a very busy shopping center on Black Friday and i have never heard more complaining and bitching in my entire life- talk about holiday spirit.  I don’t even know how these people have it in them, to go sit on line after line, push through mob after mob.  And what are you really saving?  A little money for a whole lot of aggravation just isn’t worth it to me. People turn into the Grinch during this holiday shopping process.  On thanksgiving night I’m not worrying about what time I’m getting to the stores or how much money I’m going to save on Uncle Michael’s new television.  I’m in a coma on the couch with the rest of my family full from dinner.  I blast Christmas music on my way home from my Uncles house, not plan shopping strategies.  Everyone’s so worried about saving a lil bit of money that they totally take the holiday out of holiday shopping.  A woman in California pepper sprayed people in order to get ahead of them in line, are you kidding me?!?! All I have to say is congrats, not only did you not save money on black Friday, but you also added on bail and lawyers’ fees, Merry Christmas!

First Thanksgiving, now Halloween? Santa, give it a break!: Response to Kathrines Blog

I'm always being told to act my own age or to stop acting like a child and when it comes to the holidays I might as well as be running around in pigtails and a Santa hat. I am among the few that would accept Christmas advertisements in June. All year round for that matter. I don’t see a Christmas advertisement and think about retail stores trying to rob me of my hard earned money, I see them and think of Christmas and everything that comes along with it. Everything about Christmas puts me in a good mood which is why I don’t mind when advertisements start reminding us about Christmas shopping in October. Stores advertise everyday, but as soon as they throw Santa into the commercials people start to complain and I don’t get why?? I don’t get why people get mad when Christmas is the best time of the year, why would you not want to be reminded of it as early as October. I also didn’t mind, I actually really enjoyed when 106.7 started playing continuous Christmas music on Saturday at 5 all the way to Christmas day. I am a child when it comes to the holidays and I’ll be the first to admit that seeing Christmas in October makes me warm inside. Any bad mood I was experiencing before simply goes out the window and all I can think about is family and presents and good food. I’m one of those people that no matter how many times you freeze your ass off going to see the tree in Rockefeller Center, it never gets old. I mean my mom still makes me and my siblings take Christmas Pictures in front of our fireplaces once all our stockings are hanging from it, and I freaking love it!

Its about the company your with....

I went upstate this weekend to my friend Andrew's house.  It’s literally in the middle of nowhere on a ton of property.  Some may ask, what did you guys do in a house in the middle of nowhere? But with my friends you don’t need much to have a good time.  For the most part we sat outside on stones about a fire and drank, which seems kind of cliché and little bit boring but it was really one of the best times I’ve had in a while.  It wasn’t what we were doing that was fun but it was the people I was with, the people I can completely be myself around, the people who make me laugh till I cant breath anymore.  10 of us being a little cabin upstate all sharing one bathroom, 3 bedrooms and one little kitchen sounds like a weekend from hell but it was really a great time.  Being in the middle of nowhere with nothing but your friends and some beers was exactly the weekend I needed.  With my friends it’s not about going to clubs or trekking all the way to the city because we do that all the time and quite frankly it gets old.  We all needed a different scene, a little get away from the usual Friday nights and just relax with good friends.  This weekend defiantly made me realize that it’s not about where you are that matters but the company your with that makes all the difference.   

My Mother Never *Star Applied

My mother never asks for anything in return.  She's the most selfless person I know and is always striving to make my family and I happy.  But she never asks for anything in return.  She is the glue that holds our family together and without her I dont know where I would be right now.  Sometimes I dont give her the credit she deserves but, at the end of the day she really is my best friend.  I didn't go away to school because I knew I wouldnt be able to last that long without her.  Some of my friends dont understand the bond my mom and I share but i could never explain it.  Shes been there through everyting with me, and yet still, never asks for anything in return. 

Writers Block

I've been thinking for days of something to write on this blog and still to this very second I have nothing to write.  It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, I just have nothing to write.  Meaning that I have nothing to write about that could possibly interest anyone else.  I could be typical and write about Halloween and how many girls I saw dressed like sluts this weekend.   Or how I use to be one of those girls until I realized it was overrated and far too cold to do so anymore.  I could even write about my beliefs and values but, does anyone really care?  Does anyone really care that I value hard work and dedicated and people who think they can get by without that repulse me? Does anyone care that I believe in and fully support gay marriage and I hope one day one of my best friends can live in a judgment free world?  Do I care if anyone really cares? Not really. The chances of someone even reading this is pretty slim to none anyway, so instead of pouring out my heart about what I believe in or before I bore you with useless facts about something no one really cares about anyway ill use this blog to rant about how I have nothing to write.  Because isn’t that what theses blogs are used for these days anyway, to rant and rave about things only few care about anyway.
