Rant #3,584: Crazy

Here I am

It is just after 4 a.m. in the morning, and rather than being in my nice, cozy bed, I am sitting in a chair in front of my local record store.

Why, you may ask.

Today is Black Friday Record Store Day--

And yes, i am certifiably nuts.

i admit it!

More importantly, i am cold and lonely, because i am first in the line of--

ONE.

Record Store Day simply ain't what it used to be.

In the old days--like one or two years ago--getting here at 4 a.m. would have placed me fourth or fifth in line.

Today, at this hour, I am.in a line of one, and I do hope that by 5.a.m., people get here, because a line of one is such a lonely line--

Especially in the cold.

As you know, I wasn't going to post a Rant today, but I figured that writing something to you guys and gals would prevent me from feeling so lonely, so that is why you got an entry today.

The question I have to ask myself is this:

"Will the treasures I will eventually find inside the store be worth the wait?"

The answer is this:

"No, but at least my money will go to my local record store--rather than a big-box retailer--and the way they do it here, part of the money the store gets today goes to animal-related charities."

So you can't beat that.

But that being said, I am cold and lonely right now.

So have a great Black Friday, have a great weekend, and I will speak to you again on Monday ...

If I defrost by that time ... .
