i <3 consumerism
$16 to spare and a full tank of gas...
3 weeks mind-numbing work. 2 weeks partial paycheck. 1 trip to wal-mart. priceless.
$~240 after taxes, and cashing.
$7 filled guts tank as a gesture of appreciation for all the gas he helped me out with
$4 subway sandwhich. wow, finnally...real fake food! mmmm!
$100 to guts to help out with rent a little
set aside $ to register bike, and gas for two weeks.
about $16 left over. its been months since ive spent money. last real thing i bought was my motorcycle, no joke.
had to splurge. im going to do it right so i went to the almighty mecca of consumerism...wal-mart. i worship this place. i had fight club in my mind the whole time i was there. it was hilarious. i headed in.
clothes, pharmacy, toys, electronics, automotive,...home decor...aha. this place has everything, and instinctivly i know where to find it all...
$3.50 dimmer switch. i have been wincing everytime i walked into my room and turn on the light, as im sure others would do. i hate bright light. i believe in the pavlov theory, so it had to go. since when is on and off a suffecient choice anyways?(forced to compromise ask for more i.e. all of the above) no longer a problem, installed it last night without electrocuting myself.
across the store to the food isle's for my next purchase. this is a major priority.
$0.57 for 25 feet of tin foil. this was the best thing i got too. this is covering my window. i cant beleive that for $0.57 i can now sleep at night. i hate any lightsource while attempting to sleep. (insomniac from hell). still some light leaking through, but after a few more feet of foil, and some duct tape, all will be good. i will sleep tonight.
back over to home decor, and a few isles down for my next purchase. bathroom decor, paint, fixtures, light bulbs...
$6.00 for colored light bulbs. two dollars each, one red, blue and green. this is for an awesome lamp i have with three sockets, independant on/off, and they can each be positioned and pointed seperate. red for romance/intamacy, green for fun and friendship, blue for peace and relaxation. i can not only set a mood...i can mix and match. between, these, the foil, and the dimmer, i have the lighting down to a tee.
mandatory impulse buy. poster. my room needs something else for the walls. again i know exactly where to find them, right between the clothes and the food sections, near the cards. i take a direct path. i have to go around because there are pallates and pallates of stuff along the walkways. im not complaining. pallates of crap means walmart is being good at being wal mart.
posters. i page through. hillary duff. i consider this, as its complety hilarious to me. she is hot, thats all i care about. yes she is a britney clone, and a disney bi-product, but thats the point. i dont care if a poster can sing or dance, or has a brain.
no one else would "get it" and it wouldnt fit what im going for anyways. boy bands, girl bands, swimsuits, west coast choppers, superman logo, cartoons...all crap...
bingo. bengal tiger exploding out of yin yang on traditional style chinese backround. someone in corporate america is getting a bj for this genius decision of selection, and all i have to pay is $3.50.
everything i need to make my room 100 times more comfortable and a lot better looking, and i can go through the 10 item or less lane. america is great.
total=$17.17
