BLACK-FRIDAY

Did I shop? Easy answer. No. Why wake up at 2 in the morning to wait outside in the cold to get something for about 30% off, it sounds good, considering the sales going on but me, in that cold, for so long? I dont think so. And now hearing about the Wal-Mart worker that got trampled, makes me already want to make up my mind about the next Black Friday. Me, personally, I don't think you need to go shopping on Black Friday to live a good and meaningful life. Its just an excuse that corporate media uses to have sky-rocketting sales. Maybe some people just want to fit in so when a bunch of friends come over they can show off and brag about their new 50 inch flat screen TV. Or maybe they use that new TV as a magnet to lure the friends that wouldnt normally go if that person would have never bought the TV. Black Friday can be very useful but I guess only out of dire neccessity, and if you have proper preparations, know where you are going in the store so next time an employee doesnt die.
