THANKSGIVING 2008 IS OLD NEWS
So we’re all back to work and the 4 day weekend was, well…4 days too short. Why is it that the last two hours of work on any given day of the week take an eternity while 4 days off granted to us by a national holiday go by so fast? It’s just not fair, but oh well. By now Thanksgiving 2008 is old news and everything is partly back to normal, except for our waistlines. Now we’re just getting ready for the Christmas frenzy which may not be a frenzy at all considering the current economic recession we’re in. Hopefully things can start to look up with the New Year, but the clouds of doom are pretty thick and heavy. Can we all just get a little sunshine…!?
The good thing is that the “BLACK FRIDAY FAITHFULs” were still willing to camp out for hours in the cold with all the other people that have exchanged the pre-technology age meaning of “Thanksgiving” for it’s current consumer savings definition. Kinda sad when you think about it. Probably not as sad as the fact that people had become so blinded by their greed that they trampled a man to death as they raced to get their hands on the incredible deals the store had to offer. Deals so great that they would kill for them (pun intended with more disgrace than distaste.) This story was all over the news and is a sad testament to how the American consumers have just become so jaded by materialistic values that life, at least in this instance, became secondary. My only thought for all those that walked by or stepped over this dieing human being as they raced to grab the last flatscreen tv, laptop, camera, or whatever, is that one day…you’ll get yours.
Later,
GREEDY
