This is my first Random though blog. Not sure how it will turn out, but its worth a shot.
Another Christmas has come and gone, another New Year approaches, and another empty bank account. What is the meaning of all this? Why do we go through these motions, year after year? We are mindless puppets at the hands of big business retail.
I have to admit I fell pray to those 50% off signs that seem to litter every rack of every store. How can everything be 50% off all the time? Doesn't make much sense does it? But none the less I was lured into several large retails stores this holiday season. Overall I was unimpressed. Stock levels were low, employees were less than friendly, and 2 out of 3 stores had something sticky on the floor. Why is that sticky? (Thanks Becca) I don't know. I asked an employee and he didn't know either. He just kept walking. It was still sticky 30 minutes later.
So to complete my random thought of the week I want to make a new Years resolution. I will do all of my Christmas shopping online. Amazon.com was great to me this year. I was last minute Larry and ordered to close to Christmas but most gifts arrived on time. Thanks Amazon. You allowed me to sit in my apartment, in my underwear, drinking beer while I Christmas shopped. What else could I of asked for.
Stay tuned for more of Marcus's random thoughts.
