The rest of the typing should be in a normal font. This
color may be too light, however.
I love not having to get up off of my big
fat ass to go to the library or book store, having
to drive through the icy winds and torrential storms
and/or blistering
heat
waves,
leaping
into my
175 degree Farenheit 17 year old car with the crumbling
ceiling that is falling to pieces, rotten spongy yuck
blowing around and getting into my eyes, with faded
black ripped up pieces
of
ancient fabric whipping into my eyes due to the missing
passenger window, all duct-taped with ripped and useless
plastic...and Amazon lets me do that.
I love heaving myself out of my big fat
easy chair to get the mail (just because it's there)
and discovering that something arrived sooner than
expected, which is exciting in and of itself—but mainly
because I believe it means one may stop all
work for at least a half an hour to browse through
the exciting new arrival, because—after all—hard-earned
money was spent on this purchase, and so it should
be shown proper respect. And if the half hour should
turn into an hour, or, let's face it—the rest of the
day...well, that just proves my theory that books are
good for relaxation purposes, and good relaxation is
hard to find sometimes these days. For me it is. Or
not. Sometimes.
I love Amazon because even when none of
my friends are around, Amazon is always glad
to see me, and not only that, but even if I'm being
an absolute jackass on the day in question, Amazon
never tells me to shut up; it greets me, it's thrilled
to see me—I know it is because it tells
me so...and it likes to show me special little golden
treasures and it even wants to talk and show me more
and more and more things on and on until I practically
want to vomit. But dammit—what else are friends for?
I love Amazon, because if Farmer Bob, my
loved one, wants me to type a quick email for him,
I can point to the spinning whirling search thingy
and say, "Ohhhhh. What a shame! I'm in the middle of
a complex search—wish I could stop, but if I do, well,
it will waste a lot of time..." And he goes
away. I just smile knowingly, sitting on my big fat
ass.
Please order your books from here, because
I will get pennies with which to feed the poor starving
worms in my laundry room.*
