So as I sit and ponder to myself why I fought and fought to get my new Blackberry Storm I started thinking about how my life has changed over the years. I don't think of myself as a superficial person. Don't get me wrong I have a big screen TV and a new gaming system or 2, but I don't have to have the nicest big screen out there or the must have technology most of the time (yeah I said most).
Here is where my thought about this came. I was thinking how glad I am that my carrier waited out the rush of iPhone users and waited for that one exclusive phone that meets my business and personal needs. My Storm not only has all that fancy scrolling touchscreen technology but supports my business applications (eat your heart out iPhone). This was well worth the wait hands down.
So why is it that I am now finding myself getting caught up in the hype of must have gadgets? I would like to say its the mainstream media that is telling me what to purchase, but if that were the case I would have a whole closet full of goodies that I never use. Is it because I am getting to an age that I am able to afford more of this stuff? I don't think so as I have been able to afford it for some time now.
I still to this day think of myself as a very simple person. Even with some goodies that I do have. I have yet to fall into the trap of alot of the mainstream must haves. I plan on continuing along this line, I don't have time to use most that kewl stuff anyways.
Dang..........here I thought this would come out different on the page.
