I'm a research hound...I love to read....OKAY I'M A GEEK! I'm a certifiable, "Big Bang Theory" lovin, nonfiction reading nerd.....and I'm okay with that. This afternoon, my love came in and suggested a large purchase to me. He left me unattended for a whopping half hour and came back to a novel hand-written in a notebook normally reserved for the children. Here's what it comes down to....
1. Knowledge is power. If you are making any sort of big decision, it's always smart to research so you know what you're getting into.
2. EVERYTHING requires maintenance. No matter what big item you're buying, everything requires maintenance and you need to be able to know what the costs of maintaining that item are going to be.
3. Taking notes gives me the ability to repeat it back as it's written so I don't confuse information.
4. Getting f***ed over SUCKS! Actually knowing what you're doing gives you the ability to prevent that as much as possible.
5. Research is fun. I'm a geek but I love learning about things, especially things I don't know much about. I love being able to share random facts and I actually love when I'm one of the smartest people in the room.
In the end, he decided that the big purchase wasn't the right one but he did it with a well-informed mind.....and an amazement at his girl's ability to look crap up on the internet.
