I figure out the plan!

For Christmas my parents opposite of freded me gift certificates for
Circuit City so I wanted to use them before I lost them (which is
their plan!)
Was considering getting an XBox 360 so I had to make up the
difference of over $250 dollars so I considered buying gift cards
from Safeway on my credit card to get a 6% rebate (and saving an
additional $15) but I could not find a drug or grocery story that
sold these items.
Then I think that getting one of the worlds most advanced game
systems is not what Marcus needs now and I decided to get 1) A nine
volt battery to stop my fire alarm from chirping (my Mom will be
happy I replaced it) and 2) noise canceling head phones. I ordered
them over the world wide web and I chose in store pick up. As I hate
parking spots and I want to get some sunshine I walk on over. It
turns out that they did not have the item which meant, I get $24 in
extra gift card so suddenly (after walking back as I did not bring
the credit card that I spent on the overage) I had $70 to spend (and
two nine volt batteries!)
Went looking at the headsets and my eyes glazed over at the
selection. I saw an off brand called Coby and the specific product
got big thumbs down so I called Tommy to get his wisdom (we buy many
of the same products such as Apples, iPods, Satellite Radio). I then
got one of those things that can play your iPod in your parlor.
Later I figured out how to greatly broaden how I get a 6% discount on
stuff in my life. I saw that you can buy Visa gift cards from the
drug stores which then can be used to purchase other stuff (I need to
verify if any charges are involved).
Right now one of my favorite songs is Window in the Skies by U2. I
would have to say after the Beatles, they are the best band. Last
time the Rolling Stones made anything good I was very much in short
pants and had not even started my blogging in 1975 (where the
governesses would transcribe the descriptions of the events in my
life as I was not literate at this point)
*Just to make it clear, I did not have governesses but the
kindergarten assistance had a station where I would tell stories and
they would write it down.
*Also I did not have regular access to the Internet until at least
1982 so it was in scrolls which is in some cave.

Saturday night I went on the Urban Diversion party bus despite being
on the wagon. We went to Holy Cow and the Velvet Lounge. We saw many
people who dress as they are bicycling or going to take some fitness
activity but I doubt that was on their agenda at all.
As I was not drinking this was more of an observation rather than a
complaint. I am not in the business of selling spirits but I am
guessing the main source of revenue of a "club" is selling marked up
intoxicating beverages to the patrons that are taking part. To
maximize revenue, I would guess you would want to speed up the
transaction period. I hear complaints that it tour fourteen minutes
to be served a beverage. Once again this is an observation from an
outsider, but I do not think you have reached the point of
diminishing marginal utility. Here is the crazy thing, one of the
other patrons emptied the contents of their beverage onto one of my
friends. This almost turned into a scene from either West Side story
or Beat It, so I made like a banana.
Marcus's new equation, Night = Saturday, Street = Broadway, then
Marcus stays away!
