thanksgiving and such

Here is the story of my Thanksgiving this year...
I woke up at 6 o'clock, no not because of the smell of turkey infesting the air or because I'm one of those idiots who can't fully wake up in the morning on the weekends so they go through their school preparation ritual to only be disappointed they woke up at 6. I woke up because i had to work. Not saying i wasn't content with working, I took one of my employee's shifts in order to work longer to get the most out of the 2x pay (It was actually 1.5x the pay which frustrated me). Right when i get there it was like the invasion of the Somalis. The prophesy in the CVS hand book for told this day, but we never the less were ill prepared. They were ready before the doors were open, they pushed to get into the store before 7 (our opening time) but they were too big in number to hold back. They swarmed in and breathed the fiery scent of just enough English to not make me call the language hot line, the bitter scent of what ever they ate from the night before, and coupons that they piled on the counter with the expectation of me to fall under the pressure. Bradley Beckman you would be proud of your son, as he held his own in the biggest ambush of sale items and low prices (and quality service with a smile) since the near collapse of CVS on a brisk Christmas Eve afternoon in 1997. I was fortunate enough not to have to witness the insanity and brutality of that day, but of the ones who did fight on that day says it is similar of this Thanksgiving. When the battle was over, the scanner was hot from the absurd amount of purchases, shelves were empty, and all the milk was gone (why is it always milk?). Now it was time for my Thanksgiving meal. It consisted of a four cheese lean cuisine (did not go over well with Mr. Tummy), chef boyardee meaty ravioli minute ready meal WITH EXTRA MEAT, and finished it off with a tall cool Budweiser, I wish, instead i drank a monster. I thought mid fight Jack Yakowiz would be coming to the rescue seeing he entered the store. But my hope soon was crushed as I saw he was ill and was shopping for either a bathtub set for a ninety year old lady, or cough medicine, I didn't get a good enough look to make an accurate guess. The thing that kept me going throughout the day was playing pranks on my boss. here is a sample of what i do in my free time at work. I learned that my boss hates "jingle bell rock" because it reminds her of the part in "Mean Girls" that the girls are prancing around in there underwear. So being the considerate employer, I decided to put that song on the loud speakers, on repeat, for 4 hours. Being at work really made me miss my family that was at my grandma's-who is 99- for the whole day. Microwaved turkey and gravy just wasn't the same. Overall i was happy i made a lot of money but nothing can take the place of mice quality time with your family.

 On another note, I listened to the radio for the first time in about two months thanks to my sister, and it was everything but a pleasure. Dance song after dance song i started thinking i was in a Rage Cage looking for a sweaty horny girl to grind on. I listened to what they put on the radio now a days and i couldn't believe the lack of intelligence it takes to make it on the air. I wave my hair back and forth? I also heard a new Kesha song that said dance like we are stupid. Kesha your lyrics make you sound like you are stupid. Mainstream music is filled with auto-tune, and beats that make it appealing to ignorant listeners who only wanna try to impress there friends with there dancing and there interpretation of the duggie. It makes me respect even more the likes of Blu, Jay Electronica, J. Cole, and other artists who attract there listeners by what they say. The audiences of the radio are HEARING the music but aren't LISTENING, that is the reason they aren't on the radio even though they are way more qualified than Flo Rida and Jay Sean but that's not the current fade to indulge yourself into knowledgeable thought out lyrics.

Also shout out the the Gophers who beat South Dakota State handsomely, unfortunately i was having movie night with Galloway and Gabbi so i couldn't break down what went down.

Next blog- why I made a blog and why its the seasons new "Black"

peace and love and shout out to the Lord above
