I got an e-mail from Lee(eee!) the other day about The Donnas show at Graceland. I asked mom if I could go and she said to see if "mah supah-fly brother" would take us. (Ok, she didn't use those words exactly) So, Capt'n, If you wanna, would ya? lol. If not, it's all coo'. *Attempts to use hip lingo*...*fails* I think it would be thrifty nifty.

Moving along, I have to write my first essay this coming week. >_< Arg. This whole class is about how materialistic and greedy Americans are. Last week our teacher told us to write down a list of everything we would buy if we had unlimited amounts of money. Well, I started putting stupid little things, like lots of nail polish, converse shoes, etc etc. But then I though...well, they're talking big stuff. So, I put all these really big things like a huge house, skating rink, blah blah blah. After we're done, she says, "Ok, now we are going try and figure out what these people's values are". Damn it. Oh well.

So now I have to writing an analysis on something to do with packaging, materialism, consumption, something along those lines (I haven't picked what I'm going to do from her sheet yet).

We’ve been talking about this all week. Our way of life may be self-centered, but I’m not going to make a difference (if I wanted to. lol.) Until the whole society changes, what the hell would it matter anyway? I myself look forward to living the “American dream”. Money can’t buy happiness, but it can get you pretty close. Oh, and who says you can’t buy friends? I say “Bah!” to you.

I'm very frugal, not because I oppose the greedy, selfish American way of life, but because I’m lazy and have nothing I want to buy enough to go out and spend my money on. I’m just so damn cheap. Perhaps this will change once my lazy bum-ass gets a job. But for now I remain content being a hermit who hoards money.

Wow, that was badly written and unorganized. Oh well. I’m a lazy American, what can I say?
