Overall, today was a success. It started off badly. I got to Circuit City at 4 am and there were already 300 people standing in line some of which had been there since 7 pm yesterday. By the time I finally got into the store all of the computers were sold out as well as the digital picture frame. I was pissed after that so I thought let me go see if they have my portable dvd player at Wal-Mart but guess what, I was talking to one of the employees and he told me that when they opened there was more than 600 people waiting so by the time I got there all the good electronics was again (you guessed it) sold out. I was extremely dissappointed and frustrated that I had gone out so early all for nothing. I didn't even go to sleep the day before so I was irate after all this.

After that, I went to JC Penny and took out my frustration there. I spent about $250 on clothes and shoes. I also got a 119 piece auto repair set for my car from Sears. After finally buying something I calmed down and was actually happy. I was still dissappointed that I couldn't get my new computer so I went home and immediately went online to see if there were any BF deals on computers. Guess what, I searched hours and hours and finally found the computer that I wanted. Even better was that it was better than the one I was originally looking for. A HP Pavilion a6223w Desktop PC w/ AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ with a DUAL CORE 2.60 Ghz 3072MB DDR2, 500GB HDD, and VISTA H.P. for $525.

It might not be the greatest deal but I can't wait to get it and get rid of my crappy Intel Celeron D machine. Don't ever get a Celeron processor b/c it sucks. All in all, I am extremely happy now and this is what I have learned from my first BF experience, go ahead and shop for clothes b/c they are never out of stock and get your electronics online.

Will I do it again next year? Yeah but just to get clothes and other apparell.

Scored a MX Revo for $7AR and Logitech webcam for -$30AR. Besides that, this year's black friday has been made of fail.

Bought a Zune a week ago for $199 only to find out about the $79 dollar deal at Toys-R-Us today. Shit was gay, and I figured it wasn't worth the fight, so I just sucked it up. It's only another one hundred bucks, so blah.

I stayed in my house, locked the doors, closed the proverbial shutters, rolled myself into a ball and covered my ears and my eyes hoping for the worst... Looks like everyone pulled through alright.

Well, I went to Office Depot at around 5 pm. Not 5 am, but 5 pm. There was like no one there. I think I spent a total of 15 minutes total inside the store. I got myself a 500 gig external hard drive for $100.
