shopping spree

So if you know me at all, you know that I absolutely abhore shopping. Especially when it's shopping for clothes. But, clothes do wear out, and instead of looking like a bum, I gotta do what I gotta do. This week was tax free week in MD, so I decided to go out and take advantage of all the sales; destroying a saturday in the process. I went to 2 different malls, and several other stores and spent a small fortune. Here is my shopping list:
4 Pairs of dress pants
1 pair of jeans
5 tshirts
6 pairs of socks
3 Computer books
2 pairs of skate/break shoes
ankle weights
elbow pad
knee pad
a belt

It wasn't exactly the shopping list I had in mind, but its what I found lol. I still need to get a lamp though, mine broke the other day. I've found there are some stores I never care to shop at, like nordstroms. Every pair of jeans I saw was at least 100 dollars, ya right! If you wanna pay 2-3 times the normal price be my guest and buy all the designer bs, in my opinion its made a lot cheaper than the "cheap" brands. Maybe you can impress more girls that way, i dunno, but you can keep those type of women any way, they would never chase after me haha.

I've also discovered Maryland drivers can't drive or park. I can't count the number of times I had to skip a parking place because some idiot parked crooked. Im not even talking paralell parking, just normal parking, of compact cars. I'm glad I didn't pay any taxes on the things I bought, I wouldn't want to support your shoddy driver training programs.

I also was thinking today about how close skaters and bboys really are as a culture. When in the skate shop I noticed, because the skaters who worked there really reminded me of bboys I knew. Both arts are looked down upon by a lot of the older generation, and misunderstood by the current generations. Most people just wanna see stupid tricks. But skaters and bboys alike are really dedicated to their art, spend ungodly amounts of time polishing their styles. We both have contests and underground cultures. Skate videos and bboy videos are similar. I think there are a lot more similarities too. But I'm tired, and going to dream about bboying anyway, so PEACE out!
