It’s Back To School Time

As a kid, I always dreaded this time of year; summer is almost over and that means that it’s time to go back to school.  As I grew older, I actually started looking forward to going back to school but I realized that knowledge is power. How could I expect to rule the world if I didn’t have power?  Logic would dictate that I must acquire knowledge.

My plans for world domination have since faded and now I’m once again dreading the start of school.  Now though it’s not because I want to play baseball and Nintendo all day long with my friends, even though that wold be fun, it’s because I’m just tired of school.  I used to joke that I’m on the 10 year plan to get my degree.  I’ve been working on it for 9 years now so I guess I switched over to the 20 year plan at some point.  If I just had the time to go full-time, I’d be done in a little over a year but with work and family, I have to limit myself.  I’ll get there eventually though.

Black Friday 2008

Those of you who know me know that I’m a huge fan of Black Friday.  I go out every year, usually with Holly, and spend lots of money on Christmas gifts.  Usually, I end up buying way more than I intend and then feel guilt at having spent so much money.  But I’m a sucker for a sale so I eventually justify my guilt away using the logic that saved a ton of money.  I try not to think about the fact that I would never have spent the money in the first place if I hadn’t come across the sale price.  In the end, I go way overboard on presents and the living room looks like a Toys R Us on Christmas morning.
