Black Friday and other random you-know-whats

Black Friday and other random you-know-whats


So I experienced once again that after-Thanksgiving phenomenon known as Black Friday. Insane discounts. Long lines. No parking spots. And campers, camper, campers. Me and my older sister drove to this place in the middle of Riverside County called Cabazon. Next to the Morongo Casino Resort was a set of shops known as the Desert Hill Premoum Outlets. I bought a pair of Banana Republic spats and a sweater and shirt from the GAP. My older sister bought everything else.


There were some long lines for Coach and Gucci. Heinous lines. They were probably stretching into the resort. I rode past people camping outside a Best Buy in West Covina. We spent five hours shopping in Cabazon, followed by one hour of rest and me wandering around Montclair Plaza, then hightailing outta the IE.


Later that day, the news anchorman on KNX 1070 Newsradio asked, "So, did you get yerrrr shopping on?" I just had to laugh. Duh!

And then I went to the Lakewood vs. Bishop Amat game. I was nonplussed with some of the dubious play by my guys in the first half. In the second half, we got a kick return and in the fourth quarter, this was a done deal because of Justin Utupo and Jesse Scroggins handcuffing the visitors from La Puente. I just cursed them out after the game. I was sick and tired of their whinging.


So now it's on to the test of fate with the world-famous Edison Chargers of Huntington Beach at Costa Mesa's Orange Coast College. Bring it on. Let's see how we do.
