Week 9 EOC

Something I bought that was Very high priced but I felt like was completely worth it… Ummm, that’s pretty hard because there’s sooo much to choose from. However, if I narrowed it down from my jewelry, to my shoes, to my phone, I would have to say my phone. Only because I was totally over charged, I have wanted this phone called the HTC, HD2 from T-mobile. The phone originally at T-mobile is $399 dollars without a contract and $199 dollars with a contract or an upgrade to your account with an account extension. I went to 3 different T-mobiles, including one in the mall and None of them had this phone I wanted. I even had one of the stores call around to different T-mobile locations to see if they were in stock anywhere else. Still they had nothing, about to give up on my search. I was told by one of the T-mobile reps to call customer service and try to order one and if they don’t have it then for Sure Radio Shack would have them in stock. I called customer service and they didn’t even have any in stock, it would have took them 2 weeks (10-15 business days) just to get one to me. So I went to Radio Shack and YES they had my baby! But don’t think that’s the end, the phone was actually 100 dollars More at Radio Shack. They were selling the phone for $499 dollars, and $556 dollars to be exact after tax. Of course I bought the phone, only because I wanted it right then and there and I didn’t want to have to wait. I felt like I went to all this work to finally find a store that had it, honestly I would have bought it even if it was marked up to $556 dollars before tax.

Week 6 EOC

There are so many things that Don’t go together, Lol. Where do I start??… Let’s start with clothes, since my college major is Fashion. Plaids and strips on the same shirt, Wayyy to busy. Jeans and leg warmers, I’ve seen people do it and its Completely retarded. Totally defeats the purpose, but that’s fashion for you. Now lets talk about food that doesn’t go together, like chocolate covered shrimp, Peanut better covered steak, cheese burgers with strawberries on them, cherries stuffed with onions, and there do many more products that really Don’t go together and that will Definitely Not sale if it was on the market. Like chocolate soda, don’t get me wrong. I like and eat chocolate just as much as the next man but to Drink it… Umm, yeah I’ll pass. Also things like fried banana over fried rice, that just sounds gross and squishy. Or what about Kool-Aid and coffee mixed together? I guess you can use the Kool-Aid as flavoring for the coffee but how would that taste, I mean really? There are so many things besides food or drink and clothes. What about furniture or appliances, Like a phone and a DVD player attached together and every time the phone rings, the movie stops. Lol, or a laptop with an expresso machine attached to it so u can drink and do work at the same time. But honestly I see that as kind of dangerous because if you have that much going on to where you need to have a expresso machine attached to your computer. Then you might want to be Ex. Careful of it spilling over or you accidentally dropping it on your computer while on a Very frustrating conference call. There are a lot of things that go together and then there's a few that I wouldn’t dare come close to.
