I just learned that tomorrow is called Black Friday.

For a moment I wondered…is this like Black Tuesday?  Are they now pre-predicting catastrophic days for the stock market?

Thankfully, no. 

Black Friday is that day after Thanksgiving when, apparently, everybody goes to shop.  I am not one of them because I don’t enjoy a crowded day at the mall, much less a day at the mall.

But there is one option that I just discovered:  Black Friday at Amazon.com.

Amazon.com has all the great shopping deals without all the hassle.  You can venture through the virtual mall while you are sipping coffee, hanging out with the family, and watching football. 

Not a bad deal.  I like Black Friday at Amazon.com.

I also like that the stock market closes early on Black Friday…maybe I’ll have some money left over to buy all the great stuff on Amazon.com.

Postscript:

For those of you who check in regularly (my site has been visited by well over 100,000 of you ), I apologize for my recent absence.  I have been creating various websites where you can get the Best Christmas Gifts for 2008, including the iPod Nano Purple (my personal favorite) or the more simple Digital Photo Keychain.  These pursuits lead me to this newly acquired knowledge of Black Friday at Amazon.com.

If you buy from The Christmas Store Online, you can support my itinerant lifestyle and travellin’ ways.  That way, I can continue to bring you travel tales of Hermosa Beach Party, 4th of July, the Dave Matthews Cruise, and Punta Del Este, Uruguay: Summer on The Gold Coast.  But, most importantly, you’ll be able to continue reading deeply profound articles like What Can I Do On The Internet When I’m Bored.

It has been said that all who buy Christmas Gifts online at this store achieve great fame, fortune, and personal happiness!

Sometimes, you think the world is going to hell and a hand-basket.  (Where did that expression come from?  I don’t like it.  It’s so cliché and I don’t even really get it.  Let’s start over….)

Last night, the news reported that someone was plotting to kill Barack Obama after mass murdering more than a hundred black people and beheading some of them.  Continue Reading »

A British couple was just arrested for having sex on a beach in Dubai.

This news comes as a surprise to many.  Of course, the surprise comes not from the fact that they were arrested-Dubai, though a modern country, is a predominantly Muslim country and frowns on publics acts of indecency.

No, the surprise to many is that a British couple was having sex. Continue Reading »

There are many different ways to wake up.  You can’t control them; they just are.

I liked the way I woke today.  Normally, I wouldn’t have liked it because I woke up too early.  When you wake up too early, it often means that you did not get enough sleep.  Who wants to start a new day without enough sleep the night before?

People sleep different amounts of time each night.  I know some people who can survive, and even thrive, on 4 hours of sleep a night or less.  I don’t know how they do this.  It seems not human.  Can I trust these people?  I normally need 8 hours. Continue Reading »

I just finished writing a review of RooshV’s website. 

While I was writing, I referenced Paul Simon’s song 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover.  When I searched for the song on the Internet, this website popped up called Dizzler.com.  The Paul Simon song was there with the accompanying lyrics.

 What a great site!  It costs nothing, there are millions of songs, you can create your play-lists, view lyrics, and even download play-lists to your cell phone.  It’s pretty sweet.  Check it out!

Ah, that fresh cup of java on a Saturday morning.

Paul Simon just came on the stereo with his “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover.”  Does he really mention 50?  I don’t have time to check.  But if you’re really bored, and don’t want to read What To Do On the Internet When I’m Bored, you can listen to Paul Simon’s 50 ways and read lyrics at the same time.  When you’re done, let us know whether there are really 50.

Speaking of numbered lists, Continue Reading »

 Are you feeling lucky?  There’s a lottery going on right now and you could run out and buy a ticket.

Do you know that today, there are hundreds of people who are going to visit google or other search engines and type in the following:  “What are the most lucky mega numbers played?“  You might be one of them.

But you might not want to win the lottery today.  This sounds silly I know (who would not delight in winning $3,000,000 today?).  But experts say that “excessive wealth, particularly for people unaccustomed to it, such as lottery winners, can actually cause unhappiness.”  In fact, over 1/3 of lottery winners end up declaring bankruptcy.

Today’s Hot Topic:  Ziami and Boris Kodjoe

Out of curiosity, I will occasionally visit Google Trends to find out what people are searching for.  This morning I expected to see a lot of searches for Barack and Hillary since the Democratic National Convention is taking place.

However, the #1 and #2 slots are occupied by Ziami and Boris Kodjoe.  Am I totally out of it?  I have never heard of either of these two.  Continue Reading »

I wrote an article yesterday entitled John McCain Announces Vice Presidential Candidate on Eve of DNC.  This morning, I posted it on Propeller.com, one of the leading social networking sites behind Digg.com and Reddit.com. Continue Reading »

Had a laugh over this with Saturday morning coffee…Enjoy!
