Signs that showed it would be A RESSESSHON

Wow. The recession. Everyone’s favorite topic and excuse:

“we cain’t get murried…issa recesshon”.

“i got all f’s, cause issa resesshon”.

“i’m making 100,000 an hour…but it’s stilla a ressissohn…buy your own damn fries” (c/o b.obama)

However, there were signs that poo would soon be coating the fan. I don’t think of it as much of a recession, but a market correction. Cause right before this whole thing happened, some ignant shit was going on. And as we all know, ignant shit will come home to roost, soon enough.

So without further ado, signs that showed it was gonna be a “ressesshon”

1) Going “stated”. Credit was so easy to get that you could actually go “stated” when asked how much you made. Meaning that you didn’t have to show proof of income…

…and people were buying 300,000 dollar homes on 35,000 dollar salary. Yunno, cause of course the price of homes ALWAYS goes up, and we’ll ALWAYS make more money in two years when our ARM kicks in.

2) Rent-A-Wheel – Credit was being used so egregiously (note that I don’t know what egregious means lol) that people where renting RIMS!

3) True Religion Jeans – 300 dollars for one pair of jeans. If you have a closet full of 300 dollar jeans, you have too much money, and not enough smarts to manage it.

4) SUV’s – There’s a Hummer dealership close to where I live. Which reminds me, I have to call them to get the tumbledweeds from blowing into my lot lol.

5) The rich get smarter – When Kirk Kerkorian started pulling out shares of GM, I knew it was going down. Extremely rich people aren’t stupid, and usually have the inside track somehow.

6) People got fatter – What do you do to celebrate success. That’s right. GO EAT! And of course since everyone was ballin like it was 2004, people gaint.  Bennigans, Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, Applebees, benefitted – all of which are pretty much the same place lol.

7) Music started sucking – Well, music sucked for a while, but over the last 3 years, it has been really bad. Good art usually comes out of tough times, because more people are creative, and able relate that to others to share the experience. So when crummy, wack music becomes the norm, innovation goes down, and the bubble pops.

But you won’t find crummy music at www.detroitcydi.com lol

chea!
