Black Friday
For those of you that do not know Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving. For the longest time I thought it was something to due with religon. Anyway it is known as Black Friday because the day after Thanksgiving is when all the Christmas Specials start here in the USA. Stores open earlier than usual and stay open later than usual . Well I myself never witnessed first hand when the stores open their doors but I have seen videos of that "event" and it is not a pretty sight. In fact last year a person was trampled to death at a WalMart because of all the chaos. I enjoy getting and giveing gifts at Christmas just as much as the next person. However that is not what Christmas is about. Christmas has become to comercial in my opinion. If there are no gifts for me under the Christmas Tree or in that stocking I really do not care because I already have my gifts. They are faar more valuable than Gold ,Frankicnese, or Myrhh. My gifts are my family, my friends ,the fact that I am loved and the fact that I am alive another day.

It takes all kinds
It was a dark and stormy night...
No thiis is not the begining of some cheap story this is acual events that happened during the Northeastern Ida when it hit Norfolk and some of its aftermath. Some stores like Wal-Mart, Target and other big name stores acually remained open. Who did they think was going to brave 45 to 60 mph wind gusts pouring rain so hard bodies of water in our area was 3 to 5 feet above normal. I can just picture that conversation (Pa I'm just going down to Wal Mart. They have a sale on Guitar Hero video games."
Then of course there are places like Target that looks like they lost a door because of the storm that stayed open. I'm sorry but when a door as big as the ones they have on target is ripped off the building that's like somebody of a high power saying "Close the store you idiot! "
Of course there were some closings which did not really need be said like William and Mary's perforrmance of Little Shop of Horrors has been cancelled for this evening. Would that be because of the NorthEastern Ida? I mean come on. I can just see the conversation at the box office where they take tickets " What do you mean tonights show has been cancelled!? I want my money baaaaaaaaaaaaaack" the person says while Ida blows him a block away.
