Kickin' it with Karl

Yes. Karl. Karl Marx that is. 


I have been reading a ton of Marxist theory lately. And funniest of all things is how every time I am working on it I end up drinking Hot Chocolate- which I often have to go purchase!

I think its funny that I have been programmed to need coffee or hot chocolate while reading dense theory-- especially when that theory is Marx talking about consumerism and materialism.

I actually think a lot of what he says is correct, we are too trapped by the economy and are programmed to think we always new and better. But for the record, I don't exactly think I'll give up shopping anytime soon.

Tonight is Top Chef Desserts Finale. I am predicting that Morgan doesn't win.  Danielle maybe?
Ill post if I am correct or not!
