Black Friday Madness
Personally, I am all about spending smart and saving money, all day errday. But when people ask me what I think of Black Friday, I say it's fucking retarded. I hate this destructive hype, one that sucks people in a spending craze, within themselves and between one another, causing headlines year after year. It is not thrifty at all when you spend money on the things you don't need, even when the sale plunges deep and the price is tempting. I'm even more annoyed and even pity the people that gallops out in pride for spending a shitload of money they usually would never spend, thinking they had scored such great deals but really they are being cheated left and right . Consumers are being trapped by the idea of Black Friday, believing that surely, everything out there on this day is worth buying. It started out with waiting in line for hours in the cold, which became a motivation to spend more for their prior effort. From one consumer to another, the motivation creates the hustling and bustling atmosphere that takes away reasons and drives greedy and reckless consumption.
It sure is exciting the first time you try it, seeing crowds of people in the middle of the night after a day of being locked up in the house. But if you consider the competition the committed Black Friday fans are in, the experience is truly stale with stress and, well, the next best word, ignorance. If you don't believe me, just read the news on the last Friday of November. That's how this rant started.

It's really a journey when you begin to unearth the things you thought you have lost or didn't even know exists. The little, subtle things. Sure takes time. But it's worth it.
