Gross!

So I have a nice piece of holiday cheer for everyone. I was doing some shopping at Target the other day. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. If you're a college student, you understand the marvelousness that is Target and that it's a mecca for young and poor college kids everywhere. Not so in Redlands, California. Though it has its university, the students never seemed to find their way to Target...but the fatties did. Yep, more fat people than you could shake a drumstick at. Now don't get me wrong, I love food just as much as the next person, but these were an entirely different breed of fatties. I'd like to call them belligerently fat. Why? Because they were so fat, and so okay with it (dare I say proud?) that they insisted on waddling right in to guest services and requesting motorized scooters (that's a nice way of saying wheelchair) to navigate the crowded aisleways. First of all, this must be so insulting to the people that actually NEED the wheelchairs. Second, it's insulting to ME because I get tired of walking around too, but I do it anyway! That's one of the reasons I'm not OBESE! This is becoming a disturbing new trend, as society becomes soft - too accepting of those who refuse to take care of themselves. I'm no health freak but all this seems a bit ridiculous. Who's with me?

p.s. Attn all chaminade people...wtf, let's hang out.
