(The day where seeds of darkness sprouts from the hearts of shoppers everywhere.. )
The first rule of Black Friday shopping: 1) There are no rules.
Black Friday should be the modernized version of the Hunger Games in real life. The crowds go crazy. People check their humanity out the door. There's trampling, fights, competition. It's the day that the American people go to buy countless of goods moments after thanking God for what they already have.
It's been a beautiful tradition for my close family and friends to celebrate this unmarked calendarized holiday as a way to save money and buy meaningful Christmas presents for ourselves. Well and others.. but mostly for ourselves.
I'm definitely not a first timer Black Friday shopper. Even though I may seem small and innocent, I know what I want and I know how to get it. It brings out less of the princess-y side of my personality and more of the warrior side of me. It can be lethal according to my sources. I've been at it for six years and I'm no newbie at this. If you're going for your first time, make sure you go with someone who's experienced or else your adventure in this area of life can become at times confusing and definitely chaotic.I've personally had times where while innocently shopping at Wal-Mart, and I've had to leap out the way of shoppers carrying around 70" plasma screen televisions. You've got to be careful not to become another statistic in the number of people trampled in the black Friday world.
Also, on this day you need to be strategic. Put on your game face and map out your shopping destinations while simultaneously have someone already in the shopping line so that you can hit the next door buster sale. Always always ALWAYS have your phone. Communication is vital in moments of war, and trust no one. Not even the sweet old lady at the check out line who claims she is helpful and wants to let you put your things in her cart from the very sweetness and goodness of her heart. Like I said trust no one.
You can only trust those you came with and mere moments of distractions can be the moment of truth for what you came there to buy. Store maps, coupons, cell phones, gasoline, caffeine of choice, snacks, strong man power, and ninja skills are all musts. You need to be quick and head strong especially when picking out awesome movie deals. But hey, it's worth it. At least once in your life time. Teaches you leadership skills.
Well that's it from me today. Happy shopping everyone!
