Gateway 210
I've had some bad experiences blogging in the past. However, if I use a little common sense this time around and keep my blogging to neutral and trivial subjects I should be alright. In this case, I'm blogging about my seedy materialistic side. The side of me that wants to rip out credit cards and come home with the smell of new electronics still shimmering in my olfactory warehouse.
Growing up a single child with divorced parents, it was my God-given right to be spoiled. And although I'm now a husband and a father, there is still a part of me that longs for the shopping sprees of yester-year. Unfortunately, as a normal part of any addiction, it takes more and more of the goods to keep my flying level. I used to be fine cruising The Gap after school for yet another new shirt, now I'm circling the BMW dealership bi-weekly.
I make good money, but I also have a shred of common sense that tells me just because I can buy something doesn't mean I should.
Anyways, I recently bought a new Gateway 210 notebook. As anyone of my friends could tell you I've been lusting after the Apple PowerBook for a year now, but I ended up going with a less expensive model (new baby, gotta' watch the dollars). So here I am with a new toy and not that much I can do with it. So why not start a new blog? The keyboard on this notebook is fantastic. I love typing on it. There is something so much more "intellectual" about typing on a notebook as opposed to a desktop. Go figure.
The purpose of this blog is to document my obsession with material goods. Although, like urges for a first cousin, some feelings are not socially acceptable. People, even Americans, condemn those who believe in a little GDP influx now and again. So be it. I'm not going to judge them, they don't have to judge me.
I'll probably erase this entry later when I can think of something better to write, but it's OK for right now.
