Wack Friday
I swear, every year it’s the same nightmare masquerading as an event. They call it “Black Friday,” but where I come from, it should be called Wack Friday—a festival of broken promises, broken carts, and broken patience. It’s that one day when the world collectively loses its mind over discounts that are supposed to be “once-in-a-lifetime” but really feel like an eternal loop of mediocrity and disappointment. And let me tell you, witnessing it is like trudging through a swamp—a sticky, chaotic mire of consumer greed, poor planning, and emotional exhaustion.

Explaining Critical Race Theory
You all know how I feel about uneducated opinions. Right? Opinions in which a person hates something without having ANY knowledge as to what this something is. Doing that is as close to SHEER stupidity as you can get. In this world where we ALL walk around with small mobile COMPUTERS in our pockets, which we can use to GOOGLE things before we speak or post online about it, you NEVER have to look uneducated or stupid... if you put the effort in to actually KNOW what you're talking about.

Wack Friday. Top Story - December 2025.
Black Friday. We all obviously know what it is. As a kid, I'd see horror stories of people getting trampled to death in the doors of shopping centers. I didn't even understand what Black Friday was at the time or why everyone went so crazy about it. I didn't grow up with cable TV, so I really didn't have an insane amount of access to news or anything. The little I did see on the matter was enough to terrify me. My tiny child eyes sincerely thought these people were criminals robbing stores... and it was allowed. If the Purge was real and had already come out in the early 90's of my childhood, I would have thought Black Friday was the day it took place.
