I don't like going to Wal-Mart. For some reason, that store makes me feel sad for humanity. Perhaps it is the bad lighting or the cool color schemes of the decor. Last night I had to get a plunger after 10pm, so Wal-Mart was my only option. The store seemed dirty and sad and the people inside it seemed like they had been beaten down by life. Even the employees just didn't have any spirit.
Target, on the other hand, is different. Whenever I am there I feel like a piece of my soul is missing, and I know that Target has the thing to fill that empty space. Today, for example, the hole was filled by clearance-priced post-it notes shaped like my initial. I think that the warm reds of the Target interior just makes me feel better. Also, the store is practically brand new so it is still clean and shiny.
It is almost like Wal-Mart is a depressed store, and Target is the same store on prozac.
The big job interview is at the end of this week, and today I am particularly anxious about it, so I fled to Target in order to find some peace by filling my life with stuff. It's not really the best way to deal with stress, I know, but it was a good escape.
Plus, those post-it notes are pretty awesome.

We are the same person. Target fills my soul ... especially with clearance post-it notes!
Although I disagree with the red color scheme (you know how I feel about red).
So, we are the same person, except you are warm colors and I am cool colors.
I love Target. Love. It. If Target doesn't have it, you don't need it. Unfortunately, there isn't a Target close to me so I am basically living an unfulfilled life right now.
