The Chaos of Shopping on Black Friday & Cyber Monday

While others might be sleeping off the meal they had the day before whether it is an oversized turkey, yams, desserts and many other delicious foods of the Thanksgiving holiday. Others were waiting on line at midnight for the stores to open to start their Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving most commonly known as “BLACK FRIDAY.” On midnight at Thanksgiving people waited outside for “early bird specials”, “special discounts.” Which would get you ahead and save you money on your holiday shopping. However, along with the good discounts comes millions of other shoppers who are also trying to find the perfect gifts for their family and friends. Many stores such as Gap, Old Navy, KB Toys, JcPenny, Circuit City, Best Buy and many others opened as early as 4 am on Black Friday to offer amazing discounts. 72 million people shopping online on the Monday after Thanksgiving which has recently been named “CYBER MONDAY. I think that its ridiculous that so many people are willing to shop so early in the mourning to get really good discounts and wait on line for 2-3 hours to purchase items along with millions of other people I don’t understand why they can’t wait till the following week.

Dare Not Lie




Don't tell me you love me if you are not honest and dear

For a lie that strong can destroy me life and bring on me a new horror and fear

Fear to be loved, fear to never be able to love ever again

It can cause my delicate heart to break, rip and bend.

Think everything in life that will be forgotten

because of one small broken promise you made to me.

So,when I put all of my trust deep inside you

Please don't tell me you love me,unless you truly do.

When Will it End...The Strike that No One Wants

The Writer’s strike which started this past Monday isn’t only affecting the networks but is also affecting the viewers. This strike is going to be a major test of loyalty to the fans. Networks, studios, writers, agents, managers and everyone else – are in turmoil this week. Shows such as ABC’S Desperate Housewives, Private Practice and Ugly Betty; NBC’s Heroes; the CW’s Smallville, Gossip Girl, and many others are trying to shoot two episodes a week to get as many episodes as possible able to air. Heroes’ creators are considering changing what was supposed to be a season finale into a series finale. According to the Los Angles Times “But almost everyone agrees that once the supply of new scripted episodes gets burned off -- say, by mid-January -- network prime time schedules would quickly devolve to the two "Rs": reality and repeats. Reality shows generally don't use guild talent, so existing series like "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars" would be strike-proof. The strike might also lead to more prime0-time sports.” I cannot understand why the networks are refusing to give the writers what they want. If they want a raise them I think they should give them one; the writers are the ones who are making money for the networks without the writers there would be no shows, late-night shows such as “David Letterman”, “Jimmy Kimmel”, “Jay Leno” and others. The networks will probably suffer because with no good shows comes no viewers and no show-obsessed fans (which I’m sure every network loves). Therefore, I think that the networks should let give the viewers what they want.

Christmas: Hectic or Peaceful????

Have you been to Macy’s lately or for that matter any other stores in the mall? It seems like a Winter Wonderland in every store you visit; with Christmas lights and garlands hanging from every direction and Christmas trees everywhere. It is a tad bit ridiculous if I may say so …. I mean honestly it’s not even Thanksgiving yet Halloween just passed. It’s a little ridiculous and they already have makeup, watches, wallets and many other items in festive holiday boxes. However, we can’t seem to resist starting our Christmas shopping instead of waiting until after Thanksgiving because the stores bombard us with nicely packaged items which we can’t resist purchasing them. Christmas is still a time for giving, sharing and being with your loved ones. It’s a time for decorating your Christmas trees, houses, windows and doors. Putting up Christmas trees, them as well as your them with your family or friends. It’s supposed to be a peaceful & joyous time, but come December the peacefulness and joy of the holiday season disappears …and is replaced by stress and tension as we struggle through the crowds of hundreds of people in popular stores trying to figure out the perfect gift for their family and friends.

King Tut Unmasked

On November 4, 2007 in Luxor,Egypt the mummy of King Tut was “put on public display for the first time on Sunday.” It has been eighty-five years since the 3,000-year-old boy pharaoh's golden tomb and mummy was fist discovered in Luxor, Egypt’s famous “Valley of the Kings”. Archeologists removed King Tut’s sarcophagus from his tomb; they carefully removed the white linen that covered his corpse. This revealed his wrinked and dried up face( which was blackened) and body which almost seemed leather-like. King Tut’s mummy was damaged badly and scientists are working on restoring it. By placing the mummy in a portable CT scanner they were able to see that its body was broken into eighteen pieces. They concluded that it was probably due to Howard Carter Carter (who was the first person to discover the mummy’s concealed tomb on November 4, 1922) when he tried to pull off the mummy’s mask. However, Dr. Zahi Hawass who is Egypt's antiquities chief fears that this new discovery will cause increased tourism (approximately thousands of tourists a month) which will lead to Hawass says “"The humidity and heat caused by ... people entering the tomb and their breathing will change the mummy to a powder. The only good thing left in this mummy is the face. We need to preserve the face." It is still unknown of how he died. There are mixed feelings regarding the mummy’s release to museums some believe he should be left alone other’s want to go see his mummy and claim it’s a once in a lifetime experience. I find this discovery fascinating and remarkable it is amazing on how with today’s technology we can discover somewhat of what he looked like and determine how his body was damaged.
