So on my lunch break I bought 2 dress shirts, one of them a clearance Calvin Klein. Now, I'm not label whore by any stretch of the imagination. But I am a fabric whore. And I hate that name brands use nicer stuff. Bastards! Always keeping the common man down. Unless the common man shops at TJ Maxx or other discount stores. So I'm happy to have an ultra-nice dress shirt. I also purchased 2 new ties. All were a bargain.

Then, to make things worse, I just partook of the Grand Royal fire sale and bought 4 records -- At the Drive-In, Russell Simmins, Sean Lennon, and Atari Teenage Riot. Again, more bargain shopping! Even with shipping it was just over 30 dollars. Still, it's more than I should have probably spent...

Can you tell I've been without funds for the past couple months? I can't help but spend money when it's available to me. Though I'm better than I was before. I'm still eating the lunch I brought from home, and staying thrifty in other ways. And I'm not bouncing any checks, which is always a good sign. Besides, music related purchases are an investment in my future career. Right. I'm seriously planning on doing itemized taxes next year. I'm saving every fcking receipt and writing off everything. Including my chest surgery, whenever that happens. Next thing you know, I'll have a money market account and savings and folks will say "what a responsible young man!" Well, probably not.

It's dark right now. And hot as hell in the office. Oh, DMX?

I think I'm going to have cereal for dinner.
