Okay here’s the deal: if you have to buy something — like food, or condoms, or you’re out of cocaine again (don’t you just hate that? It’s always during a binge, isn’t it?) — then you go ahead and purchase that thing.
However…
Have you ever noticed how much stuff you buy that you don’t either need or even want after awhile? It’s because we’ve become trapped in this asinine concept that we are what we buy. If we buy lots of stuff, we must be lots of things to all people!
Bullshit!
This so-called ‘western’, so called ‘civilization’ is so very much based on consumerism, it’s enough to make me wretch. To expect to have everything is to be wanting what you will surely not have. And this path leads to disappointment. Disappointment begets sadness, and sadness has depression as its only offspring. The next thing you know you’re chugging Old Spice and lying in the gutter with a razor sticking out of your jugular.
So, don’t buy anything or you’ll end-up dead. See how that happens?
Look around the shops! Do the employees look like they want to be there? NO! Soi why do we help by gibing their overlords reasons to employ these suffering Gits in Suits Behind Tills? Look at PictureSnap (or the HLoF or whatever; do you want to make him suffer any more than he already has in his pathetic excuse for a life? Have you no heart at all?
Please think of the kittens, baby ducks, and the little fish! Buy nothing!
Okay, the last bit got away from me. So skip that part, would you?

I am so doing my Christmas (not holiday) shopping today. As for other holidays that aren’t Christmas, I’ll shop for other holidays as well. You’ve also given me some great gift ideas — who wouldn’t want a kitten, baby duck, or little fish? Granted, the latter two sound like the basis of a tasty dinner, and some people prefer dogs to cats, but we’re just brainstorming here, aren’t we?
Do I want to make HLoF suffer?
That to be fair is a fairly redundant question. Of course I do.
All he really does is stand about and be rude about the customers to other members of staff any way. That’s not working is it?
In which case, Doctor, neither are you then, correct?
Well summised sir.
