That last post was a tad bit abnormal for me. Not only was it social commentary, (I usually try to stay away from topics like that on here for various obvious reasons) but I actually got up at 8 a.m. because I was so moved. Strange.

Today was my first day off in about a week. It was nice. I went to Target to use some birthday gift cards. I was disappointed, though, because they didn't have the CD I want. I've noticed more and more that Target floats on fads. It's a bit sad, really. I wanted to stop a kid that was gazing up at a display plastered with 50-Cent and G-Unit albums, say "For the love of humanity, stop now." How could that store have no Jane's Addiction? Literally only one Beastie Boys CD. I think they had like 3 Beatles CDs, but of course they have plenty of rap and hip-hop. (yeah, I know the b-boys fit in that category, but work with me here) There's no originality there. I purused the clothing section as well and saw the samething, kind of. There was originality in the clothes...but it was mass produced, you know? There were some great t-shirts that would be an awesome find in Ragstock....but not in a pile of 40. And for the love of the rock gods, they had a full rack of Pink Floyd tees. What the heck is a place like TARGET doing with Pink Floyd shirts? It defies everything Pink Floyd stands for. Sheesh.

At any rate, I DID find some good things. As luck would have it, I found a hat identical to the one I stole from my oldest bro. See, my fav. hat...the green Mickey's Mal Liquor hat...is really my brother's. When I visited his house while in Denver doing my internship, I "borrowed" it because I forgot to bring my Twins hat along. My original intention was to return it in June...but then I wore it while playing sports and such...and it developed a rather large dirty sweat stain. Hmmm...so I kept it. Not telling him, of course, just hoping I could find another one and replace it without him finding out. But then he read the post a couple of weeks ago where I mentioned the hat. Busted. So I used birthday money to purchase the identical hat to give to him, thus purchasing the hat that I took from him in the first place. So now it's really mine. Yay! Oh yeah, and my pair of jeans that I ordered online came today. They fit great. I'm totally set for school now. Good stuff.

Well, I think that's all I have for tonight. Even though I was supposed to have tomorrow off, I asked to work so that I could get some monster overtime. Plus, I asked for Thursday off, so it's not like I'm going to jump into a long stretch of working right away again. Not that I would care, really. But still. Ok, I should go to bed. Peace.
