    I've been doing some fall cleaning and I decided to thin out some off my possessions. I went through my CDs and decided to take some of them to the CD store for a little extra spending cash. It was hard, but I took a hard look at my collection and decided that I would get rid of anything I hadn't listened to in the last two years.

    I took them to a record store (oops! I guess they're called "CD Stores" now!) and took them to the front counter. They only offered me $5 for 20 CDs, and he said he was doing me a favor! I should have gotten that alone for the Destiny's Child CD, not to mention the Out of Time CD by REM. Hey, they were all winners in their own rights, so I was sort of insulted. It took me almost an hour to weed them out.

    At that rate, I decided that I should just hang on to them. I listened to that Destiny's Child CD when I got home, and I'm kind of glad I hung on to it. So, greedy record store, I wanted to thank you for allowing me to re-examine a great album.
