a quest comes to and end

for the past few days now, i have told me self, i would be a more organized, professional, well rounded person, if i got myself a daily planner. Now for those of you that don't know, i refuse to shop at the capitalist hell hole known as walmart. Yes, i could have walked in there, got an adequate planner, and walked out, saving myself a great deal of money, unfortunately it wouldn't save my soul as being a walmart customer you have no use for one, and it would probably be smitten or sold to satan, for the pain my dollar helped inflict on third world orphans. But thats not here nor now. In these days of high tech-ness, its not as easy as one would think to find a decent daily planner. The cell phone has now elapsed pen and paper as chosen method remembrance. So i went into three stores that weren't walmart, one was thre grocery store, with the thought, well they sell cards and such, why not daily planners, so i walked in and walked down the card aisle, and much to may dismay, right after the cards stopped the condemns started, i guess hallmark and trojan have teamed up to make sympathy a little more sexy. Next i choose BJ's, with the thought well they have everything else, and not that i need 30 planners, but i bet they have some, so i went in and walked to the book and card section, and again to my dismay i found nothing that worked. I was starting to think my quest was hopeless, i was just going to have to get rid of my soul for a daily planner, but then a sign of light came to me in the name of Staples, oh yes, they had to have one, sure enough i walked in and found a nice little one that fits snug in my pants pocket, so i go to check out thinking, this little guy will be 5 bucks or so. I walked up to the register and the lady scans my planner, i tell her that will be all and she tells me, "that will be $16.85"...
