For the last two years, I’ve basically given up my Thanksgiving Thursday in exchange for a long cold sidewalk outside of Best Buy.\u00a0 My parent’s house was a wasteland of non-technology, but in the two years that have transpired, they’ve gone up to the HDTV lifestyle, multiple modern day computers and high speed Internet.\u00a0 No longer do I feel like trips back home are on a farm.\u00a0 So now I wonder, is there a point going for year 3?<\/p>\n

www.blackfriday.info<\/a> has the Best Buy ad as well as the Circuit City ad up.\u00a0 I’ve gone through the BB one and noticed absolutely nothing worth spending nearly 18 hours in the cold for.\u00a0 I think the last piece of digital wizardry I could use is a camera, but even that isn’t too big of a deal for me since I’m not one to take a lot of pictures anyway.\u00a0 I could also stand an upgrade from my 256MB thumb drive to an 8GB one.\u00a0 But I don’t need black friday deals to buy those since they continuously drop in price.\u00a0 I imagine in 6 months I could get a 32GB thumb drive for these prices.<\/p>\n

So for the first time in 3 years, I can look forward to a day of turkey and possibly a whole lot of Rock Band with my family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
