Well today is Black Friday here in the United States. Black Friday is and has been something I have never understood, I do work in retail so I understand in the traditional sense of company's offering deals that are seemingly too good to pass up in hopes of having a huge sales day and ending the year with a positive sales figure. But aside from that, what makes people want to camp over night in a Best Buy parking lot? I will admit that I am probably not the type of person these company's are catering to. I prefer to find what I want and then purchase the item when I'm in the neighborhood. Why would I want to get up and go shopping at 2am (not that I haven't, but I'm a bit of an odd ball), I prefer to be getting ready for bed at 2am. This is my solution to the whole Black Friday crazy people thing, and I believe that if people are smart companies will start to adopt this particular piece of brilliance.
Why doesn't a particular store, lets say Wal-mart, start having a week long "Black Friday", where basically the store would offer the same items that they would normally offer on the day after Thanksgiving but for a whole week? Doesn't that make sense to have a huge week long sale where you and I can go in the store throughout the course of a week and get our "Black Friday" shopping done while we buy our food for the week? And Wal-mart would make a killing, all they would have to do is get full truck loads of their Christmas sales items instead of the one pallet of laptops that everyone wants, have an entire truck load of pallets with laptops. Seriously, how many people go to Wal-mart at least once a week? So instead of having 45 people fight over 30 laptops, there would be 45 people fighting over 30 different items. Plus you could do this the week before Thanksgiving so you can make all these purchases while you're get your stuff to make your Green Bean casserole. Are companies so limited by the "Wizards of smart" that they could not have come up with this idea on their own? Oh,what that would be too easy.

Ok my long hatius is over.
Being that I haven't posted any thing over the post several months, has been frustrating, the shear thought that I have been witness to such a changing time in the history of America can go no longer without comment.
What is happening in our American society today is nothing short of appalling, in the election of November 2008 we were confronted will the choice of voting for 1 of 2 two people that were thought to be at that time to be basically the same person; the only difference being party affiliation. Oh how wrong we were many informed people knew that a vote for Barrack Obama was going bad, however at that time we did not know how bad where going to be.
I saw a story this Morning about howactress Juilanne Moore thought, now President was the best president of her lifetime. I have one questiona bout that and that is quite simply "HOW?"
I don't see how President Obama is doing anything that anyone wants. I have had an ongoing discussion with myself in some respects of trying to decide if I want to run for public office. I don't know if I'm just scared of what, but I know that most of my ideas are based in logic and common sense; things that I find lacking whenI consioder the things that president Obama doing.
At this time I have no idea what I'm doing, many it seems like I'm just stuck in a rut and that I have no clue how to get out.
