It's Black Friday, Black Friday, gotta go shop on Black Friday.

Before October was over, I’d seen my first Christmas commercial.  On Halloween weekend, I saw my first Christmas decorations.  Every year, the holiday rush towards Christmas gets faster and faster, and nothing moves quite as fast as the online world.  Amazon has already debuted its combined Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals website, and the deals have already started for interested parties.  Are you ready for the shopping season?  Because Amazon is; here’s the link to Amazon’s Countdown to Black Friday.

Just think, in 23 days, you’ll be heading out in the wee hours of the morning to stand in line at you favorite retail store and buy yourself some inexpensively expensive, heavily discounted consumer goods in an orgy of spending and savings.  Better start getting ready now; if Christmas in July sales weren’t enough to keep you on your toes, you’d better get on said toes, because the shopping season has officially kicked off.  It’s Black Friday, not Rebecca Black Friday.

Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, is there any sales day Amazon isn’t ready to attach itself to?  Maybe they should invent one.  How about Savings Saturday?  That’d be the day after Black Friday when what little is left at the store gets discounted in an attempt to completely clean out the shelves before my next shopping holiday, Restock Sunday.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
