Pros & Cons

This could be a familiar title. Pros and Cons that is. I like to write 'em out. I often do in my head, so I might as well type 'em as well. I've noticed that people don't use the word type as often...hmmm....

Today I had to "shop". Grr.....Really the only thing I had to buy was toothpaste, but you know how it goes. I also wanted chapstick, which apparently is a namebrand, not unlike Kleenex. I never say, "man, my lips are chapped, I need to buy some Blistex!" (what I bought today, because it came in cherry and was cheaper).

Onto pros and cons: Cons; nobody in this town has the new Starflyer 59 album! ARGHGH! i've tried everywhere. I'm not above buying it at Target or Best Buy either, believe me I checked. I usually try and support the little shops downtown or wherever, but it's a moot point because nobody carries this. Argg! I really hate shopping at big stores like walmart,target, best buy. I don't know if I could accurately explain why. I've been putting off that blog for some time now. Everytime i'm at one of these places I'm filled with bile, and bitter sentiment. But i'm usually thinking about what i would write about my thoughts on these places, but you guessed it......i rarely do. It seems inevitable that whenever I'm in one of these types of stores, i end up wandering around in a trance like state, frowning, and etcering...(new word?)

Cons: Back hurts in that weird, is this cancer way.

Pros: Whilst looking for Starflyer's new album, I came across two Stavesacre albums for 4.99! Wahoo. I also bought this Korean War Movie for my brother's B-day that he recommened we watch together. While he was living in South Korea, he went to see this movie (Tae Guk Gi) in the theatre. He was the only American in there. Turns out the theatre was packed with teary eyed South Korean vets. He said it must have been much like American D-Day vets going to see Saving Private Ryan, except this was about a war in which their home country, if not home city was invaded. Several people had to leave, because it was just too hard to re-live. I've yet to watch it, but i'm completly fascinated already as I've done lots of reading on the subject.

Pros: whilst downtown depositing my loly paycheck for the temp agency, I saw a man riding a bicycle in the rain and wearing a bright yellow tin hat that looked like a World War I relic. I don't know why this is a pros, other than it made me smile.

Pros: I randomly dropped in at a pet store. I sometimes do this just to look at the fish. My favorite fish store went out of business (i should have put that on cons, but it happend before today). I like just looking at fish. Therapy. I ended up buying Lucy, our dog a big rawhide bone. She is happy.
