What a boring day at work. I think everyone is looking forward to eating Turkey on Thursday and shopping predominantly on Friday. Americans really need to drop their obsession with shopping, don’t they know we are in a recession. Who am l kidding it’s like I’ve sworn into consumerism, although l have my limits. I have never seen the excitement in Black Friday, where shoppers flood stores at ridiculously early hours to take advantage of time-sensitive sales and special discounts. For those who want to experience a hellish Black Friday. Here’s a tip:
“This year, 90 percent of electronics deals and 50 percent of clothing deals will be available from your home computer as of Nov. 27, and most sales will start at midnight,” according to the website blackfriday.fm.com and http://www.blackfriday.com/.
Nonetheless, I’m looking forward to Thursday and Friday not because of the Turkey, Sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie and Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Ok, I’m getting hungry! Or the insane sales in stores, but the fact that l don’t have to wake-up and drive for almost 1hr30mins to work. What a wonderful thing to look forward to, and I’m sure the guy sitting adjacent to me feels the same way. Men, does he look tired and stressed, I’m so sure he’ll be one of the first people to abscond early on Wednesday with hopes of sleeping in Thursday and Friday. Good days are definitely ahead.
Ok… So when l read this, l was in complete awe. Still am.
Ok, this l believe is the worst story. A Nigerian Girl killed her Mother. Olubukola Adefisayo 26yrs confessed to sledge-hammering (if that’s a word) her 62yr old mother. According to her recorded confession, she claimed her mother was a witch; her mother killed her sister, was sleeping with their houseboy and was high on cocaine. Also, she claimed to have confronted her mother and when her mother denied it, she grabbed a sledge hammer and continuously hit her until she passed out. That is just so…. Sick. The words that come to mind – MENTAL ILLNESS.
From what I’ve read her high school mates said she was a nice girl (what difference does that even make at the moment) whom had issues controlling her temper. She went to Oklahoma University, even scarier (to those who know me, know why). In America, she was a member of the choir at her church and some describe her as a very nice young… oh whatever… that doesn’t even matter… Some claim… and l write this with much satisfaction, finally some truth… that she slept around too much, had a boyfriend whom abused her and also had two children whom were taken away by child care services (Thank God). Yes… another shocker, or not …. Was that she was a suspect in a case of attempted murder while she was in the states. Imagine her bragging in this interview. Unbelievable. I feel so sorry for her family, but especially sorry for our poor legal system. What a lawless country!
On a lighter and final note, what do you all think about Oprah retiring from her Talk Show? Word on the street says Oprah will not be renewing her contract when it ends September 2011. They also stated that talk on a new cable channel with Discovery Communications called the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) is a possibility.
