Random Inspiration
Sometimes one must be seen as foolish in the eyes of the world to be seen as righteous in the eyes of God.

Boxing Week Sales
Happy New Year everyone, even though that's old news now. Been trying to settle into school, so I haven't had much time for blogging.
I know you all have noticed this, but it's still annoys me so I just had to vent. I hate how boxing day and boxing week sales deceive people. I mean, can't the stores at least reduce the price a tad bit? They put up all these signs saying "Save up to 70% this boxing week". You go and check the price tags and you think, "cool this thing has been reduced from $120.00 to $50.00. You think you're getting a good sale right? Wrong.
I went to one store to get myself a pair of shoes for school, my old ones were no longer protecting me from the cold. I went with my Dad to do the shopping. I picked up one pair of boots thinking I was getting a really good deal, it was like $30.00 reduced from something like $80.00 (which I think is ridiculous for something that goes on your feet to be tracked through the mud anyway).
My Dad took one look at the pricetag and was like "their lying, they haven't reduced anything." And you know our African parents, he wasn't afraid to say it to their faces, so it didn't matter to him that the clerk was watching us. I was like, you're sure, what was the original price? Not because I doubted him but I wanted to be sure.
