#86: caving in

Some people are born great, some become great, and some have greatness thrust upon them. I joined the ranks of the last, thanks to a doting aunt who broke down my resistance to owning an iPod. Technically I maintain that I stayed true to my resolve: I did not line the pockets of Steve Jobs. It was a gift.

It's all downhill from here; a downward spiral that creates a perpetual revenue stream out my meager earnings. First I'll need more memory on my computer to store the songs. Then I'll need to buy more songs to keep it from going stale. And then I'll start chasing a bigger iPod to store the new songs. The consumerist cycle has just begun. I better get used to this new diet.
