So of late I have found I have been in a materialistic mode. I keep dwelling on material items I want, in particular pieces of technology. Invariably they are also items I cant afford.

For instance I have been thinking hard about getting a new HD capable tv. I have a tiny little 13 inch vcr/tv combo. I Find myself trying to think of a way to be able to afford a new tv. I began thinking in terms of how many weeks of 60 hour weeks would I have to work to afford it.

And while I am at it I could work for a new camera. I would certainly like one for Dragoncon so I could get pics of all the fun. Also I could use a new monitor as mine is dying and the big flat screens call to me. While I am at it a mixing board and field-recording rig would be good. I also certainly would not turn down a hd capable video camera while we are at it. I can keep going but you get the idea.

I need to get past this of course. I can’t afford any of this at the moment. It is bound to lead to disappointment and irritation if I continue to think this way. I need to break from it for a while. I have to accept that I am not making the kind of money to indulge my tech geek self too much. I will certainly make it a goal to get a job where I can afford to indulge such notions.

not a bad way to look at things I suppose. I certainly look at costuming that way. Loose enough weight and I will get this thing or that for a nicer bit of costuming.
