~~~~~ Black Friday always seems like such a bad day to me, because the after-Thanksgiving sales bring out the worst in people. For days after, we see the film of how badly some people behaved. At the crack of dawn, they run over each other just to save a few dollars! Don't even mention the man shot while waiting in line for the latest game! Some are only buying things, not for personal use, but so there'll be a shortage and then they can sell them on the internet for a huge profit. So what if the little kiddies don't get the most popular item of the season??? I find it so distressing --- maybe because it shows how quickly civilization can unravel --- or how it brings out the worst in so-called "normal" people.
~~~~~ While thumbing through a catalog, I came across an afghan with the character "Kramer" on it --- you know the one played by Michael Richards on Seinfeld. Who on earth would want to wrap themselves up in that? I'm not buying his explanations at all! He has to be that hostile, acid-spewing person underneath his comedy routine. That was some of the most sickening stuff I've ever heard and I'm not believing his "possession" theory --- you know, he opened his mouth and out came this filth --- oh, lordy, he says, where did that bad word come from? Go away, Mr. Richards!
~~~~~ Okay, so O.J. Simpson's book was canceled. But why was there going to be a tell-all "how I did it" book in the marketplace in time for Christmas gift-giving? He admits writing it only for the money. The people to blame are the publishers who came up with the idea and sold it to O.J. This has brought back the terrible pain of the tragedy to the family of his ex-wife, the family of the waiter, and O.J.'s and Nichole's children. Reliving that nightmare and the aftermath could never be worth the money.
Besides, we recently heard an inside rumor recently from a reliable source that says O.J. is not guilty. What the real shocker is --- that I've never heard this story before --- how could it be that well-hidden? Surely, the tabloids thought up this scenario? No, it leaked from a friend who lives close to a retired detective who worked on that case. The detective says that O.J. is bi-sexual and his homosexual lover killed Nichole because he was jealous and Ron Goldman was just there at the wrong time. Supposedly, O.J. hurried off to protect the mother of his children, but was too late. The killer has since vanished. The talk is that O.J. had the killer murdered shortly after the trial. True or false? Why would O.J. be afraid of being discovered as a bi-sexual?
There will always be more questions than answers about this night of murder. I'm glad the book is no longer available to buy, although I've heard that a few of the books were being sold on the internet. Greed always seems to flourishes.
