Black Friday

It's the week of Thanksgiving, which marks the beginning of the holiday season. This is one of the best times of the year to observe normal people in their natural habitat. 

Here's how it works:

On Thursday, the normal people are going to be thankful for everything that they have. The news media will highlight all of the kind people giving Thanksgiving dinner's to the poor and homeless. Families will get together and argue about religion and politics at the table. Millions of people are going to eat turkey, some drink heavily, maybe watch some football. Then fall asleep all bloated from eating too much. 

Then on Friday they are going to be trampling over each other to get the best deals in the store. 

You gotta love the normal people.  

I worked the door-busting on a Black Friday in retail once. It was ridiculous. It lowered my view of the human race. The die hard Black Friday shoppers all came in on Wednesday night to scope out the store so they would know right where to go for whatever heavily discounted item that they wanted. The second the door opens, they pile in and race down the aisles of the store to get them.  I just got out of the way and let them go.

No I'm not a Black Friday shopper. It disgusts me actually, so I'll just sit around smoke some weed and enjoy some leftover turkey while the normals brave the crowds.

Hello World

Hello World Welcome to Normality in America , where the only thing different around here is me. 😎 I am an impartial outside observer.

I've always found myself on the outside of any group.  I am an oddball. I am an introvert. I am a cut above the norm. I am smarter than the average person. I am superior in many ways, inferior in others.  I like to focus on the good I can do in the world without the attention. It's as simple as that.   Even though I am special, I still have to engage in normal activities such as shopping, driving, parenting my child, and stuff like that because nobody else is going to do it for me.  However, I use these experiences as oppor...

The New Normal Bandwagon

Remember when the pandemic was in full swing? One of the phrases that popped up during that time was "The New Normal".  I personally didn't care for the New Normal, but it was being promoted as the new way of life that we all had to accept so that we could all be safe.  It was billed as a way to save as many lives as possible, although I still think a lot of it was bullshit.   If you also remember, there were two major reactions to the new normal.  These reactions revolved around which of the two major political ideologies the normal people subscribed to and would typically determine which bandwagon the individual would jump on.   The liberals, for example, embraced the new normal, while the conservatives resisted the new normal.  The states that leaned liberal had tighter pandemic related restrictions, while the states that leaned conservative had much looser pandemic related restrictions.  The liberal states were also more likely to have va...
