so i went to pearlridge today (well, that was probably my first mistake). i don't go shopping very often, so when i go it's usually very purposeful, i devote a day to it and i intend to get a lot done. so i've got a list of wii games that i've been wanting to get and one of them just came out yesterday so i wanted to get that, also, it's summer so i wanted to find some boardshorts or something, plus i just haven't been to pearlridge in awhile so i wanted to check what was new at the shops and i wanted to go pricing some pianos too. on the way i got stuck in a huge mess of traffic, some semi truck got into an accident or something and they fully closed like 3-4 lanes of traffic right at the H1/H2 merge. it took me like an hour to get to pearl city. i wanted to get mad at that, but then i thought, how much crappier would it be to be that semi truck driver right? so i'm in good shape.
okay so as i'm walking through the stores and whatever, i start noticing that i walk in and out of a lot of stores without seeing or talking to anyone. i was thinking, "wow, it's so empty on a wednesday afternoon," but i looked around and it really wasn't that empty. so i go into more stores and no one greets me or asks if i need help or anything. which usually i don't mind because i don't feeling that they're always watching me (like when you go in hollister and it's super dark and i swear there's someone in every room saying hi and scaring the crap outta me, it's like a haunted house, like they're all hiding behind the fake palm trees folding clothes and waiting for people to walk by, and sometimes i jump because i don't expect a new person saying hi to me in every single room). but man, i had to work HARD to flag down some help when i actually needed it. then the guy at the piano store, i could totally tell that he was not gonna take me seriously when i asked about the pianos. he was probably thinking, "yeah right kid, quit messing around and get outta my store." then later on he admitted he thought i was a high school student. man. i thought i had outgrown that already. at least bump me up to college people, geez.
something else i realized... my style is not the style of america because i couldn't find anything i wanted to buy. it was so hard. and i really wanted to be a consumer today. this is all i found. topspin 3 for wii, just in time for wimbledon (i tried it for just a bit, but it's pretty hard, i hate using that nunchuck, but i guess you have to huh?), and some jeans, but those were on sale for like $20 at pacsun so i'm happy with that. but, i was looking at the bag i got from pacsun, and man if they made that bag into a shirt, i'd buy it. but i could hardly find anything in that store that i'd buy. and it used to be all my clothes were from that store. am i getting too old for the store? scary thought. where do i graduate to? so sad, i'm getting old. anyway... the search continues for wii fit. i must've been to like 5 different stores today. one of them actually had it (toys n joys in that place across circuit city), but they jacked the price up to $129. what's up with that? like we all don't know wii games are all the same price everywhere, you can't just bump it up $40 bucks and think you're the shizz, what's up with that? no sale for you!
and really, they should all want my money right? you got the money, you got the power right? why am i bending over backwards for these stores, obeying their sales days and running all over the place trying to give them my money. what? i don't look like i've got enough money to spend in your store? respect fools!
