Walkin Round In Women's Underwear

See, the thing about Christmas music is that it's either it's the same 30 or so songs that people have been singing for years, redone and redone and redone. Or they're hastily thrown together craptastic songs from Mariah Carey, Jessica Simpson and the other usual suspects aimed at making a quick cash-in on the holiday season. Either way, you end up with an inferior product. What happened to being original? Humorous thematic selections such as the CKY, Vandals, or Nerf Herder gems offer an alternative to the same hum-drum sonic assault that is normally heard in secular public environments.

Insaniacs

Oh yes. I severly underestimated freaks and their money.
Two weeks ago, I saw the leaked add for Circuit City and their Black Friday sale for the SD600 for $199. Sure, I need a new camera and my family was willing to help me out on behalf of my birthday. Doors open at 5am today, so I got my ass up early. I arrived there at quarter till 5. Now Ciruit City is in a strip mall. If you're facing it, to its left is Marshall's, World Market, I think another store, and 4 doors down, Old Navy. The line of people was down to Old Navy... There must've been a thousand people there, no lie. What is wrong with you people?!? Don't you work? Don't you like to sleep in if you have the day off? Just for a lousy $40 bucks off a camera?
Well, I said "eff that" and cruised by Best Buy, where the insanity was the same, just in a smaller parking lot. Now I truely understand why I hate retail. It's the downfall of any man. And I fell.
Then I went to WalMart and paid $249 for the SD600. But it's mine now. I could have gotten it anyday of the year for that price. But no. I had to experience the Black Friday. It's one of those things I would encourage everyone to do at least once, like anal. It might not be for you, but at least you know what all the hellaballoo is all about.

Today is Black Monday

No, not the busiest shopping Monday of the year. Today is the day when they switch from regular Muzak to Christmas Muzak. Does anyone even like Christmas music anymore? They're called classics for a reason. Listen to them if you're old, remember "the good old days" and don't force everyone to hear it? How about some Hannukah music instead? No. I'd get sick of that too. And we've got 6 more weeks of this to put up with. Rediculous.

Stupid Things People Do During Christmas

  • Go shopping...Every day
  • Put wreaths/bows on the front of their cars
  • Perpetuate the myths of Santa Claus, etc
  • Spend too much money, simply because "It's the season"
  • Donate to charity only this one time of year
  • Justify bad fashion on the premise that it's a gift
  • Drive like idiots
  • Christmas music...too much of it. Every station on the radio, every store you enter, even at the effing gas station...
  • Buy Christmas cds from 'passing fad' artists
  • Pretend to be nice to people they really don't like. It's stupid. Stop it. Be genuine.
