Compulsive Shopping.
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
Ever since they told me “Jose, I have good news for you!” I’ve wanted to buy stuff, lots of stuff I’ve wanted to have since a long, long time ago but I couldn’t because I was saving money to move to the United States and I don’t really know if I am making the right decisions. For example, last week I was really bored at my apartment and suddenly I had this urge to get myself an iPhone, I talked about it to my significant other and we both agreed that since I was starting to work next week (on the 18th) that it was ok, so we just got off our assess and went to an AT&T store and got not one, but two iPhones.
After that I had been toying with the idea of buying an HDTV, but not just any HDTV, I wanted a huge ass one because I was tired of playing in a small computer screen. So today, after analyzing my situation I said “FUCK IT! I just have one last free week and then it will be like it was in Puerto Rico, no time to play except on weekends.”, so then I just convinced my “significant other” to go and get the TV I wanted, one slip of my card and “cashing” I had a new huge ass HDTV.
The thing is, and I don’t like to admit this but I am a very superstitious person, well, not that much but I don’t think everything is just coincidence. Anyway, when we got home with the TV the screen was smashed, it looked like something strong hit it but the box was alright, so we don’t really know what happened there. We went to the store to change it and they didn’t have a replacement unit so we had to go to another store to get one.
I am not really sure if I am making the right decisions, then again, I felt the same way when moving to the USA and everything has been all right up to this point.
