giddygeek: tree silhouette with rainbows & hearts (all well)
Black Friday always makes me go 'heck no, I'm not shopping, everyone else is shopping and I'm just not gonna do it.' And then I think, but the sales! And then I think, sure, there are sales, but it's not like I'm really getting a good deal, I'm just getting a less bad deal than I normally would. Then I start to feel guilty because if I don't spend money, the economy fails!!1! People lose jobs! Businesses go under! But is Best Buy really going to go bankrupt if I don't spend $200 there? No. And then my brain goes off on a tangent of 'this is what happens when hunter/gatherers become consumers, they start freaking out about ridiculous things like cheap DVD players and it's just idiotic! This is a dumbass system! What the hell are we doing!?'

Then I realize I'm one homemade bar of soap away from Fight Club, and I have to lie down and go back to sleep.

And happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] mickeym! I hope it's a good day, and a great year. :)
