3/15/09: The ACC basketball tournament championship game, not a very stimulating expierince. I was hoping that the matchup would be Maryland - UNC, but it ended up being Duke - Florida St. I enjoy basketball, so even though I hate Duke, it was money well spent. The ticket was over budget, costing $25, it was a good deal. (So in two weeks I'll have $14 to spend). This purchase helps so many, where to begin. Obviously it benefits, the NCAA, the colleges in the ACC, the players and coaches in the game, the City of Atlanta, and the Georgia Dome. It also helps the police department (directing traffic), the security guard outside, the ticket taker, the usher, the power company, the company that produced the ticket, the workers behind the scenes, the clean-up crew, and the sales people outside handing out information. This purchase was just too benificial to pass up. I'll keep helping out as much as I can, $13 per week.

03/11/09: I decided to buy a pitcher of beer for me and my friends. We work hard, and deserve some refreshment. The pitcher cost $14, but my friends covered the extra dollar, tax, and tip. It was money well spent. Not only did this purchase help the establishment in which I purchased it, and the server who works there. This purchase benefited the distributer, and the transportation company that delivered it as well. Also to mention the companies that manufactured the actual pitcher, the keg, the tap, the CO2 cartridges, the furniture, the lines that run from the keg to the tap, the glasses we drank from, the detergent used to wash the pitcher and glasses, and the coasters. I am doing my patriotic duty, $13 at a time.
