The Truth About Browsing Today

The Internet is a wonderful place, isn't it? I've been using it for years now, and it just seems to get better and better. I estimate I've spent about 70 percent of the last fourteen years using the Internet, and I'm still not tired of it. Just think of all the things you can do on the Internet. I'm not going to list them, you know what they are. Well, maybe I should mention Yahoo! Answers. Where else in the world do you have the opportunity to answer questions such as, "What do you think their baby will look like, do you read text messages of your spouse, and on a scale of 1 to 9, how would you rate a lioness's endurance"?

One of my favorite things about this wild series of tubes is how it grants us the power to find exactly what we're looking for in little to no time. This power is especially handy when we're shopping, as it allows us to zero in on the consumer goods we're after without the troubles we face in traditional stores, such as fluorescent lights, public restrooms and those eerie corpses they prop up near the entrances of big box retailers. Shopping online also cuts out browsing, an activity that I generally only like to participate in when I'm not looking to buy something. This is both a blessing and a curse, as though it means I can find exactly what I want when I want, it also means I often miss out on things I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Fortunately, part of my job at Overstock.com lends itself to browsing, and some of the things I have stumbled upon would melt your mind. I don't want that to happen, so I'm going to spotlight some items that will merely soften your brain. Take a look and learn why browsing on the Internet can be so rewarding.

The Truth About Witchcraft Today

There was a period earlier this year when I was doing a lot of writing on New Age books. Just thinking about most things under the New Age umbrella makes me weak, so you can imagine what a physical and mental strain it was for me to express enthusiasm for them. The one perk of my assignment was the exposure to the variety of witchcraft books we offer, with The Truth About Witchcraft Today being the highlight. Until I discovered The Truth, I lived in ignorance, thinking witches were all about pointy hats, pre-op noses and child abduction. The actual truth about witchcraft today? Shoulder pads and mock turtlenecks. As far as I can tell, witches have given up cauldrons and brooms in pursuit of careers in sexual harassment videos.

Life After Wifey

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to find out how life after Life After Wifey feels. This book looks right up my alley: urban intrigue, romance and a pajama-panted heroine. Plus, this description essentially has a gun to my head -- I'm morally obligated to read any book with a drug dealer named Syncere:

Nikki searches for Kira's killer while dating Syncere, a drug dealer, and knowing information that could either put him and his friends in jail or kill her.

Apparently, Life After Wifey isn't the only Kiki Swinson novel; it's actually part of a series which includes Wifey, I'm Still Wifey and Still Wifey Material. All I'm saying is that my birthday is just a couple months away and I can't think of any reason why a 26-year-old man shouldn't have the whole set on his bookshelf.

Found anything of note during your time on Overstock.com lately? I want to hear about your personal Life After Wifey in the comments below.
