Conversation I Actually Had with My Mother When I Told Her I Bought Light-Up Sneakers

  • Me: Hey, I bought new sneakers!
  • Mom: That's great. What kind?
  • Me: Well, I got a pair of little kids shoes because I fit in them.
  • Mom: Good, your shoes from now on will be cheaper.
  • Me: Not if they light up!
  • Mom: No you did not.

Conversation I Am Expecting to Have with My Mother When I Tell Her I Bought Light-Up Sneakers

  • Me: I bought new sneakers. Did you know that if you're a women's size 6.5 you can fit into little kids size threes?
  • Mom: No, but that's good. They'll be cheaper.
  • Me: Not if they light up!
  • Mom: No you did not.

Economics 101 - National/Personal Debt

In class Wednesday, my Professor went on a rant about how most Americans are in debt up to their eyeballs without a plan to get rid of personal debt.

We’re a country of people with no way out.

Does our government reflect that? Does all that national debt reflect the fact that we’re a nation of shopaholics who consume, consume, consume with little thought about the impact we’re having on our own lives?

Forget about the impact on the environment and everything else for a moment.

I try to buy organic, local foods. I try to support small businesses. I really do. But I realized that if we don’t save ourselves from debt, we’ll never save the America that makes economic sense. That’s just the way it is, but that’s not how it should be.

We’re a free country. That means free to buy products from the places you want. With giant corporations owning most of the business for food, how is that freedom?

If you haven’t watched Food, Inc yet, you need to. It’s a huge wake-up call for the average American consumer. And that’s kind of what we need - a gigantic, country-wide shock to jolt us awake. We’ve been asleep for years, and now corporations like the ones that run the food industry can spend their hundreds of millions of dollars on campaign ads for candidates who support their lobbies.

So…who’s going to set the alarm, eh?

This is an entire wall of Best Buy covered in CD copies of Chinese Democracy by Guns N’ Roses.
You could say it’s a Great Wall of Chinese Democracy.

(Why so) serious question.

Have you ever stood in the kitchen utensils section of your local supermarket and thought, “hey, I wonder if someone used a knife they bought here to kill someone?”

Caller I.D.

At the Meriden Square, (It’s not ‘Westfarms,’ okay? Fuck you.) a couple of my friends and I went to return a stupid sweater and buy gifts for people they know. As soon as I was done in JC Penny’s, we headed over to Spencer’s Gifts, where we started looking around and browsing all the hilarious shit.

Well, while looking on a rack, I found their store phone. It was like the planets aligned and the world was saying, “Holy shit, this calls for serious shenanigans.” I called my cell phone from the store’s phone and then promptly dropped the store phone into a tote bag on the sale rack.

Can you guess what happened next, friends and neighbors? That’s right. I called the phone from my cell. Soon, I could hear the phone ringing and one of the workers going, “where’s the phone? I can hear it…”

I loled all the way past the “Our First Bondage Kits” and “Freddy the Fuck-Off Frogs,” and out of the store.

I guess I have to believe in karma or some kind of fate now, huh? Of course, it was free will that made me actually do all of this. Hm.
