I was about to take a nap but...

Then I got caught up in hearing my friend complain (in a boastful manner) about purchasing $1,600 shoes for her birthday. SMH. The more i listen ..the more she happily talks about these designer shoes i think to myself: " should i burst her bubble and tell her that: i bought those exact shoes (in 2 different colors) back in 2008; which clearly they aren't "the latest" as she alleges?" smh. naaa i'll let her enjoy her shoes. lol. i dont get why she feels the need to advertise to people the price of the shoes. Does that make you cooler? did i miss the "how to be cool" memo? Matter of fact, the more she talks the more repulsed I get. She's such a pretty girl; but with each word she articulates she begins to get uglier and uglier..smh.

Can we talk about the world or even our own backyard? Music videos with half naked women? Women selling their children's innocense to get money for a fix? Abandoned animals in the street? Abandoned souls in the street, for that matter! Gentrification, invisible segragation, political degradation, media fabrication. How about our mixed democracy sucks and socialism semi-rocks? um shoot...we can even goo real simple..burger king vs. wendys? ANYTHINGGG but the price of shoes and of how that makes YOU feel as if you have some stance in the world!! $1,600. hmm, $20 can feed 70 people in Haiti. Granted, yesssss i am the first to spent 1,600 ok..buttt (a) i dont brag; and (b) i still give $20 to Haiti!! so :p

So i guess im just gonna put her on speaker, mute my phone, and take that nap afterall....
