business crossover

so if you read my blog you ma have noticed that I haven't written on it in a couple of months. this is one part laziness and four parts crappy computer. But thanks largely to mama I have a new computer and the blog can return. I have a number of quirky and original thoughts that have crossed my mind that I will share with you, one of which is business cross over. allow me to explain.

back in april I was driving through downtown and drove by an adult store to which the window was painted with deals celebrating 4:20 (smoking weed on a specific day). I thought to myself that this was bizarre. Why is sex and the purchasable novelties around sex being used in conjunction with smoking weed? They are seperate. I'm sure for some people they are very much intwined but I have to think that for most people (whoa re sexually active) weed and sex do not go hand in hand. It didn't make sense to me for a sex shop who is in the business of literally selling sex, a topic many people are uncomfortable talking about, to align itself with illegal drugs, something many people want to distance themselves from. doesn't seem like smart business. But I am not a business man and do not own any businesses and then I thought of another business that does this and I would guess with great success.
Walking by a vitamins and nutrient store the other day and saw that they sold clothing in addition to all the protein poweder and vitamins. the clothing was inevitably that of the MMA variety. This is no doubt so that all the people who go and buy their protein muscle shakes can also go buy their be-dazzled shiny "tapout" shirts at the same time. maybe its a good business move. Thats all I will say about that.
