God Damn it, I Love That Mother F'ing New iPod
Look at it. It's beautiful. It has map applications, email, contacts, calendar, internet, and it's a mother f'ing iPod.
Maybe I should skip the new iPod and just get the iPhone. That has a camera and, well ... a phone.
My desire for new stuff is bigger than my wallet. My wallet cries when the commercials come on for that phone. It knows it may be attacked at any moment. Ravaged and pillaged, it's plastic license protector torn and waving in the wind.
One of my favorite lines, when out and about (and in need of information) is "If only I had an iPhone..." One time, I couldn't remember my boss' finance's name, before we meet them for Christmas dinner at his mother's house, but sadly I couldn't look it up on their engagement web site before dinner. Sorry, that was just one of their commercials.
I'm busy saving for the end of my life, which is kind of sad, when put like that. But I am seriously thinking about putting it all on hold for this baby. Loosing myself from 5 hundo isn't going to push back my retirement. Wasn't I just looking at new TVs last week?
My TV is old though. Got that sucker back in the 90's, and refurbished to boot. The bottom right corner never could show that elusive red color, and it's displaying a constant wave of lines (faint as they might be) across the screen, in a top to bottom motion. It's heavy, it gets dusty, it uses electricity, and displays a strange, yet enticing, set of moving images from outer space.
Oh, and my computer is kinda slow. That bitch is three years old. I know someone, somewhere is trucking along faster than me.
My car doesn't even have a key chain remote to unlock the doors. I have a roll of (stolen) duct tape jammed in the door pocket to keep the speaker from rattling, even when the rock is playing at a mere whisper of it's potential. Plus it's kinda slow, just like my computer.
And that's why my projected retirement age is now 80.

Just wait. All the i-shit is going to come down in price as the wee recession takes hold.
