Why the name Black Friday for the ritual of buying countless things that you don't need, get a discount on gifts on things other people won't need? I am sure I can wikipedia the origin, but I it is almost 5 am and I am too lazy. I am not going anywhere on Friday, I am not going shopping, I do not need a useless mp3 player that holds 10 songs or a dvd player that plays special dvds that makes the picture a tad better. I have an amazon.com wishlist, all of these things I don't need but want. Someday, little by little, I may get them. Right now, they look good on that wishlist. What I wish for is a three-month trip to Paris...all expenses paid, my job on hold and family that can come or wait for me to get back from Paris. I would really want to take my dog Stewie. My other confession... watching a Parisian Bakery webcam around 8 in the evening, they are baking their morning bread in this cool oven. And another thought, why do I buy things as gifts that I want to keep for myself. There are these cool earrings I bought on etsy. I am not sure who I want to give them to , I was thinking Elise (she says the rhyme from time to time), but she may loose them, that is what 6 year old girls do. I want to say on this Thanksgiving morning at 5 am. I am thankful for having a roof over my head to shelter this hard falling rain from me, my friends and family, a job, food to feed my family and for the internet to keep all that is far near to me. I am going to go back to bed now.
