I want to share with you an amazing experience I had last night. I am
not kidding and am completely serious. Last night, around 1:30 a.m, I
came back from a party and noticed that the sky had cleared up. This
was the first time the sky had been clear in over two weeks, and I live
in an area with very low light pollution, so the night sky is very
clear.
As I was admiring the luminosity of Mars and connecting the dots in the
constellations, I saw a group of about 10 or 11 orange entities flying
through the air at with a relatively fast velocity. It only took the
group 7 or 8 seconds to fly from one end of the horizon to the other.
Interesting facts that led me to the conclusion that I saw UFOs and not birds:
1) They were distinctly orange, contrasting against the pitch-black sky.
2) They looked like footballs (american footballs, not futbol footballs)
3) I saw no wing flapping
4) They were organized in the formation of a Y, except one stems of the Y was smaller than the other. 5) They were movine in a linear fashion, without the individual entities straying from the main formation at all.
I was not high or drunk when I saw this. I was in a completely sober state of mind.
I just read some thread about writing blogs and I thought "hey, I should go write a blog of my own." So here, I present you a blog regarding malls and the consumer-whore culture.
I was never really a mall person. The only reason I would ever go to a mall was to buy blank boards from one of the skate stores in the mall, because the blanks were only $20, as opposed to the pro-graphic boards which were $50. Even as a child, going to the mall gave me a feeling of dread; I never liked being in the mall due to some uncomfortable feeling that I could never explain (until now).
In recent times, as I have arranged my priorities and philosophized about my basic necessities in life and consumerism/materialism, I have realized that the reason I hate the mall so much is because there are thousands of mindless consumer-whores walking around buying stuff they don't need. This is not to say that I don't buy stuff I don't really "need," but I am talking about people who walk around the mall aimlessly, going from store to store, wasting precious life-minutes in buying clothes and accessories that are completely unnecessary to their existence.
Sadly, this is what fuels the economy, and I find it pathetic.
I guess I could write more, but I'm lazy, so this is all you get.
