...is my two fro-*BANG dead*

So Christmas is now, what, 6 days away? Five since this one is over and/or you don't want to count Christmas day itself? Not really expecting much, as most everyone is focused on my brother and getting him prepared for his mission, which is understandable.

But as I went Christmas shopping today and spent the meager amount of money I had worked for and cried as I continued to learn the value of a dollar, I noticed some stuff.

1) Fry's Electronic does NOT, as blasphemous as this may sound, carry everything in their warehouse of everything and anything.

*DISBELIEF*

How did I come to this sad and tragic conclusion, one may inquire upon themselves. Well, it all started when we frst got there. My father wanted some new country music compact discs for Christmas, so I decided to ring him up on the portable tele I carry around in my pocket and inquire of him his desires. After learning these things, I began to search and, to no such avail, did not find them.

2) More and more PS3/Wii systems are "falling off the back of trucks" more than they are being sold.

Srsly, those things are in such high demand at the moment with this closing holiday season. We went to Circuit City looking for the aforementioned compact discs and asked the manager. He said they've only been recieving small shipments of them, about 8 of the Wii and, like, 3 of the PS3. So yeah, small shipments = higher demands, yo.

3) Things cost money.

Everything cost money. Why? Why do they have to pick on the poor highschool working people that cannot afford anything with their meager paychecks because they have yet to develop an actual occupation in life? crying
