Insanity Has Taken Over Our Society…

 

So I haven’t been able to update my blog in a really long time; somewhere between my computer blowing up and all of the college applications that were due, I don’t know for some reason I just couldn’t fit this into my schedule.(Please keep me in your du’aas so I can get into the college I want)

So yeah Black Friday. What an interesting day. Apparently I decided to go, yeah biggest waste of my time. But the experience oh my, I think it was scarier this year for me. I mean I’ve been shopping on Black Friday before but it was only at Macy’s for a little bit; but I’ve never been at a store like Best Buy and this year that’s where I decided to go. People were like attacking each other, jumping each other, yelling at each other, yeah it was definitely on the scary side. I like ran out of the store because first it didn’t have what I wanted and second the site was scary. If you ask me I think insanity has taken over our society, hey it even infected me.  I mean I’ve been shopping on Black Friday before, well not that many times, I really hate shopping so I don’t really get whats so amazing about it; but this year I realized what a stupid thing it is to do. I mean think about when the new PS3 or Nintendo Wii came out, people went insane. Ok I’ll give it to you that they are a bit cool, but remember when a guy shot someone else because of a PS3! That’s so scary, I mean people are killing each other over products that aren’t even necessary to have.  For example, in my house the only thing my brothers have are the Nintendo DS and Nintendo SP. I find it pretty ironic that people get violent over something that they use as a source of entertainment that promotes violence in the games they produce. 

Well here were some other headlines/quotes/statements that caughtmy eye today:
