Reply #59: Nobody's giving me nothin'. Mind if I buy MYSELF something? [View All]

I have Christmas presents for everyone in my life - friends here and out of town. Most of them are bought via eBay or are memberships in worthy organizations like ASIFA Hollywood. The thing is, none of these people will buy ME anything of comparable value. They are all broke thanks to the Bush economy. And I feel so bad for them I'm buying them things for Christmas.

Now, one of the Black Friday sales has something I'd like for myself, at a price unavailable at any other time of year. A hard drive for a computer I'm putting together for myself. And even though I'll be dead tired Friday morning, after a whole day of feeding some of those impoverished friends, and working a twelve hour shift throughout the night, I'll be going to that sale.

I hope my not joining your pointless, invisible protest, so that I might bring myself one moment of holiday joy, doesn't break your politically-correct heart. And if it does, you can read my response to you off the walls of certain public restrooms.
