I e-bought a book called “The Ultimate Guide to Furniture Repair and Refinishing.”
I also bought a book called, “How to Delude Yourself into Thinking You Can Do Things You Never Tried Before Because You Bought a Book Online”
Shame on you, Amazon.com
If I had to walk into a store to buy this furniture repair book, I’d never do it in fear that the clerk would take one look at me and laugh. Kind of like me going into a GNC and buying MuscleTech Cell Tech Hardcore (it’s for body building…I looked it up on Google).
Also, if I were in the store and read any of it before I went to the checkout, I’d realize that the skills required for this are way over the level of manual dexterity and patience I currently possess.
The book I should be reading is “How to Keep All of Your Fingers Attached to Your Hand.”
Having said that, we take a break for the Real Country Music lyric of the day:
I'm a doctor,
I'm a lawyer,
I'm a movie star.
I'm an astronaut, and I own this bar.
I'd lie to you for your love.
And that's the truth.
But on Amazon, you can pretend to want to learn anything you please. Kind of like the LSAT book I bought a few years ago under the premise of going to law school. I couldn’t even bring myself to study the book to take the test to get into law school…much less the study required FOR law school. The Law does interest me…school however, doesn’t.
But this isn’t about me. This is about the shameless promotion of books that encourages people to strive for things they can’t possibly reach.
I’d write more, but I want to get back to reading, “Swimming Pool Construction Made Easy.”
