I had a lot of fun making this video presentation for class. I actually had thirty minutes of footage before it took me a whole day to edit. I would like to thank everyone again that took their time to participate in this video.

Here's the link to my video presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0pCCGZ0n-o

Enjoy! I hope everyone liked it.

Last night, I went to the Great Mall around 11p.m. and there were already people lined up in front of every entrance of the mall. My friends and I decided to stand in line at the food court entrance. At 11:30, I counted at least 221 people in our line. That’s 221 people waiting to save an extra buck or two at this midnight sales event.

I couldn't wait any longer to go inside the mall. Suddenly, I noticed a few people were entering from an emergency exit by the garbage bins and I quickly pointed it out to my friends. We left our place in line to take a chance of entering before the mall was supposed to be opened. We were not sure if this was only an employee entrance or not. Luckily, we got in with no problems.

For the next 10 minutes we walked around the mall taunting the patrons outside who waited with anticipation. They looked very angry that we got in before them. After all the taunting we decided to stand in front of Old Navy.

At the strike of midnight, we saw a swarm of shoppers enter the mall. When Old Navy opened, everyone pushed and shoved their way into the store. Once in the store, I couldn't believe what I saw. There were people arguing, running through the store, and making a mess by throwing clothes around as if there was a pot of gold beneath it all. Shoppers were also bumping into each other like savings were important than civility.

Shoppers didn't differ by store. Every store that had a good sales advertisement in their window had a big crowd inside it. As my friends and I walked around the mall, I noticed that I have never seen so many people in the mall all at one time. We couldn't take it any longer being in the mall surrounded by all these greedy people.

In the end, my friends and I went home empty handed. The stores were just too crowded to shop in. Even when I wanted to purchase something I wasn't in the mood to wait in line for half-hour. I know it would take that long because I was in a line at Banana Republic for 15 minutes and I barely got to the middle of it. I have come to the conclusion that Black Friday is a day for savings and an excuse to be a vulture in shopping establishments. I guess the spirit of Christmas doesn't start until after Black Friday.

Today, I went to the mall. As usual, there were no open parking spaces close to the Macy’s entrance. It took me three times to drive around the parking lot to finally find a potential parking spot. Right when I was about to turn into it, I slammed on my brakes. Low and behold, a Mazda Miata was parked in what I thought would be my parking spot.

This isn’t the first time this has ha ppened to me. It seems like every time I think I found a parking spot, a Mazda Miata is parked in that space.

The Miata is such a small car that you cannot see it from a certain distance and angle. It just pisses me off when I’m running late for class and the only space that looks available has a Miata parked in it. I’m sure I’m not the only one this has happened to.

I’m sorry if you have a Miata but I think it should be destroyed.
