Thoughts.

Hurray for Black Friday. Hurray for racing frantically through parking lots to avoid getting hit and being run over by women with strollers.

So I was at the mall today and a few things hit me. First, I was in a store and was looking at a shirt, which had a little sticker saying "As seen on cool people". First off, that's lousy advertising and is lacking real creative thought. Second, that's pathetic. Really? As seen on COOL people? Who are the COOL people? The rich ones, the ones who can afford the huge brand names, the ones that can color their hair and brighten their teeth artificially, is that what our culture calls COOL? Besides that it's killing your body doing all of that crap it's just the surface. I won't be a Sunday school teacher and say 'it's what's on the inside that counts' but that IS the truth. Are they cool because they have cold hearts that are yearning for something REAL and all they can do is turn to bleach and nail polish to improve their outer beauty? Just stupid.

My heart hurts. I'm just not very happy. Probably another one-on-one with God again tonight.

I guess you lose the friends that bring you down and you turn to those that make your life better.
