Apple Glory

My kudos to Apple.
They have successfully caused me to yearn for an item I have no need for.
That item is the iPod touch.
Yes. I have succumb to the mindset of a teenager and I desperately want the iTouch otherwise my life is not complete. This idea is odd for me. I have never before longed after an item that was not a necessity, especially anything over $100. Usually if I cannot afford the item the desire for it fades. But this time Apple has overcome my frugal controls and turned me into a ravenous-updated-technology-must-have beast.

.sigh.

That little piece of black shiny plastic and it's touchable screen of glory has me writhing in torture. It costs exponentially more than I could ever convince myself to spend, especially since I have a completely functional [out of date] iPod. Oh the joys of responsible frugality. May all who have an iTouch simply bestowed on them because they are too young and/or irresponsible to hold a job, be mindful not to carelessly leave their sacred technology behind. It might be the one time that I cannot convince myself to turn it in to lost and found*.

*Though I wish my conscience was seared enough, I'm sure I would not be able to do this. First for the sake of the parents who actually worked hard for money they used to pay for that item, second on behalf of honoring the golden rule and third in honor of a dear friend who lost his iPhone to someone less selfless than I.
