It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year....NOT!!

Oh, wow! Is it that time of year again? I knew it had to be when I was riding the bus, during Veteran's Day weekend, and the driver had the radio station on and all it played was Christmas songs 24/7. Oy-vay!! I have to be honest. I have never truly liked Christmas!! Not since I was 13years old. Yes, 30 years ago!!
     I have always found it very very commercialized. Not meaning to sound like a tired cliche or a Scrooge, but it is. From the bombardment of commercials on t.v. to the heavy saturation of Christmas music playing on the radio, Christmas just rots your brain with its heavy pounding in your head. You can't escape it. Then to make matters worse, this whole Black Friday explosion that really opens the floodgate into the abyss of December madness. Some stores are offering to stay open at 12am for shoppers to be the first to take advantage of the true official shopping day. That's fine and dandy and a very smart, if not financially crafty, idea. However, is the average shopper really willing to risk his or her  safety to be out at 12am? I would be afraid to step out that late knowing that I would or could be robbed or possibly car jacked at that hour.  I know most Americans normally wouldn't dare be out that late. I guess when you throw a late night holiday bargain  in their faces, they'd shop the through the Amazon jungles in they had too.
     Anyway, I move on and say that I am not a true fan of the Holiday season due to the fact that most people forget the true meaning. It is the birth of Jesus Christ! Is it not?!We have forgotten that. We have replaced the true meaning with a sales paper and a 12am shopping frenzy. Shame on us, the consumers!! Let's get back to what Christmas is really about, getting together with family, being thankful for what we have, being there for our fellow man and remembering the spiritual being above. Whatever your beliefs are, believe that a discounted special on a cheap department store item is not the true meaning of Christmas. Trust me on that!!

Kim Kardashian Krazy Khoas!!

Excuse me while I wipe a tear from my eye as another marriage falls apart? The marriage of Kim Kardasian and Kris Humphries has left me totally devastated and shaken up. The fact that these two media parasites couldn't make a marriage work past 72 hours must really rock the foundation of traditional civil union. Will marriage every be sacred again? Will America every wake up to this pathetic excuse for a celebrity?
First off, I have to tell you that PEOPLE magazine should be stripped of any type of  journalism credibility because they devoted a cover story to this train wreck back in August and don't even get me started on the E! channel. Where did that channel go wrong? When Ryan Seacrest decided to make a deal with Satan and put these shallow no-nothings on the air 24/7. Shame on you E! I can't really blame the Kardasians, or Kim for that matter. They are media opportunists who saw a window and slithered through it. However, we have been exposed to that big butt opportunist and her family for far too long. I am still in shock that her wedding netted a reported $17.5 million in profits. $17.5 for a 72 hour mistake?!! That money could have been used in many of the charities and foundations in need of assistant during these tough economic times. People are protesting in New York City for jobs, money and equality and the media rewards a quickie marriage with that kind of money? New Yorkers should be protesting that!! New Yorkers should really be protesting PEOPLE magazine and the E! channel for showing how low they would go for a cover story or television program. Shame on both of them! Shame on Kim for being nothing more than a big butt materialistic air head. Shame on Humphries for even getting himself caught up in the hype. Shame on her mother, Kris, for being the poorest excuse of a manager and mother!! Shame on us for continuing to give these bottom feeders even the time of day!! Ban the Kardashians from your mind and maybe, hopefully, they will go away! Maybe the $17.5 she stole should be enough for her to get lost!!
