These days, everything is a click away. The world of knowledge is at our fingertips. In the olden days a la 1990, kids had to find out about all the know-hows and what-nots on the streets. So you want to know if the stork really brought you down from the sky or the proper formula for magnesium sulfate? Try cracking open that encyclopedia of universal knowledge! Or maybe you need to update your wardrobe or buy some milk for your Count Chocula? Well then...put on some pants and go out and buy it! But now, your pantless, encyclopedialess self can sit safely within the confines of your humble abode and order all your neccesities of life on your handy dandy computer. Oh the wonders of the internet. And online shopping is no small feat either pals.
What is it about online shopping that just hooks you up and pulls you in like bait when there are many risks? For example, you need a credit card or your screwed, and even then, your credit card info. can be stolen by hooligans known as hackers. If your a shopoholic (yes, such a disease exists)..especially if your a lazy or anti-social shopoholic, shopping online is a boundless haven that craves all of your materislistic desires. You could be tempted into clicking on things you never knew you needed and sink furthur in your isolated state! Another downfall of internet shopping: what if you dont like what you ordered, the hassle of shipping it back truly sucks.
But put these few minor difficulties aside, and what you have is the start of an epic era known as online shopping! It can also be quite an amazing thing to behold. So simple and so conveniant, so bittersweet and oh so addictive! I am not ashamed to say that I am a proud online shopper. Once you learn the ins and outs and the safety precautions of shopping with respectable sites, your set my friend. Online shopping can unleash the smart shopper in you as its much easier to compare prices and find deals, which is much more difficult when shlepping from store to store. Shop till you drop if you like, and even then, it okay...cause your at home and you can just go take a slumber on your cozy bed nearby!
Online shopping makes my stomach fill with little imaginary, analogical butterflies--as weird as that sounds. Im no shopoholic, and definitely not materialistic in any sense. Shopping to me is a kind of a once in a while, spiritual endeavor that takes time and careful planning...despite the few impulse buys that plague us all, online or not. Going to websites like Amazon.com that are the jelly to my peanut butter, the sun to my moon, is ever so satisfying. If you stay within your limits and know what your ordering, your sure to have a blissful experience. 2-14 business days later...or sooner if you choose expidited shipping, you'll feel like the postman is Santa Clause and your a kid on the nice list at Christmas all over again. As your package arrives safe and sound...you tear it open to uncover the treasure inside. Its a good thing, a very good thing indeed. Now excuse' mua as I click on over to another site where some mighty good looking shoes are calling my name and practically screaming "discount" in my ear...Speaking of ear, I might also order some ear-muffs. Winter's just a short year away and its good to be prepared for those dreadful ear frost bites ya know...
