What Would Jesus Buy?
I just watched What Would Jesus Buy on Netflix and it’s great. Here’s the plot summary for it: An examination of the commercialization of Christmas in America while following Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse (the end of humankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt.) The film also delves into issues such as the role sweatshops play in America’s mass consumerism and Big-Box Culture.
You know, I could take the message from that movie and use it in a way to make what I did on Black Friday seem like a noble cause. My childishness could have meaning!
I met Karalee’s parents this week. In fact, I met most of her family because it was a family reunion, but I’d met her parents earlier in the week when we came over to dinner. Siblings, nieces, cousins, everyone. We all hung around the house all day, played a lot of Wii, and a group of us went wine tasting at 3 different vineyards in the afternoon. I ate a lot of food that I’m not used to this week. Seems like I’ve met everyone associated with her at this point. We’ve bumped into every one of her friends at some point in the past year and I’ve met most of her coworkers and boss. Clearly it’s getting way too serious and I should dump her ASAP. SORRY, KARALEE!
what? you drank wine??? this must be serious!
the shoe event horizon comes to mind.
Haha Brad. Gonna dump ME? Better watch out cuz I might dump your ass first. After I get enough hot sex out of you, that is.
Sorry I declined your tacky proposal. The ring was gorgeous, six months salary at least! Keep it for later, I might change my mind!
Rev. Billy is fucking awesome, I’ve been to a few of his Union Square shows.
BACK OFF BITCH I SAW HIM FIRST!
But seriously, lol at her response. I approve and you have my blessings. Good luck, you two.
Update – it’s 2014 and I have NO IDEA AT ALL who Karalee is. What kind of stupid name is that?
