I am a chocolate covered strawberry...

After my game, I went to Bally's to work out, and then I remembered that since it was right next to Rite-Aid, I needed some razors and some deodorant, and I thought to myself, "I'll swing by and pick some up after." They didn't have any(razors) the last time I went, but it had been like 3 days already so I figured they would've restocked. I walk in...and the lines for the register are just crazy. So I go and look for the razors...and STILL none. I ask the pharmacy people how I could get someone to help me, and they're all, everyone's at the register...and I wasn't about to go wait in line just to ask them to help me. So I leave and go to ralphs...they had the razors, thank goodness...but believe it or not, the lines were even WORSE. Everyone had candy, and dessert, and cards, and everything was pink, red, or some shade inbetween. Dude, I'm all for v-day and all...I mean, I even have plans w/ beeb for a nice intimate dinner together and everything. Nothin huge, just small and just us. But seriously...v-day has to be one of the most marketted non-off-day-at-work holidays. It's kinda ridiculous. Anyway, that was my vent...all because I had to wait forever for a pack of razors and 2 sticks of deodorant, WHICH cost me frickin 30 bucks btw. Frickin razors are expensive...and I don't even use that Gilette Fusion..I'm still on the Mach 3 Turbo. I'm startin to think that maybe shaving my head isn't that much cheaper than growing hair, shampooing it, putting products in it, and cutting it every now and then. But then again, that's not really an option for me. The longer I wait between head-shaves...the older I look...and not older as in more mature, older as in, "Hey Gramps, you're a little old to be out this late!"

Haven't mentioned the lakers much...they were doing so well at one point...now they've lost 10 of their last 14...frustrating doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about them. Well that's 4 losses in a row...they better win on Thursday, cuz we'll be at the game!

Happy v-day to everyone!!!

Lesson of the day
The journey is just as important as getting to the end of the road.
