As for me, I seem to have purchased every possible gift for myself on Black Friday.
64gb Micro SDHC card
Battlefield 4 360
Tekken Tag 2 360
Sunglasses
Freedompop hotspot
Before Black Friday
Dell Venue tablet
Tablet sleeve
Wireless phone charger
I suppose there are things I could use but everything is subjective. Like more shirts or shoes for work. But that kind of thing is pretty subjective in terms of what I like. Besides it's not fun.
I laugh at the picture because it is true... the fun things I want are incredibly expensive like a solid state drive for my laptop. I don't want some mainstream 256gb one I want a freaking 500gb one with a base price of $300. I am well aware my laptop is probably worth about $300 now so is it worth it?
Gift cards are terrible restrictive, photography gear is expensive (besides I don't need to buy anything else), I'm actually okay with the storage I have. I don't use mice or keyboards. I do eat but it will suck if you want me to use a gift card and eat alone.
I am entirely aware this is a "first world problem" and everything is superficial and not THAT important. Please remember the society we live in is superficial. Even if we don't want to we are guided by it as we try to fit into society. There will always be people who are less fortunate, even in this "first world" there are plenty of starving people, people who don't spend wisely and end up in debit, and tons beyond the superficial realm like health and those we care about.
I know what I want and it isn't something you can buy. Well you can but its one of those things that is just better when it's natural. As you can probably guess since you know me and all that, I want a girlfriend. Why is it so hard to find one? Perhaps what makes it worse is knowing there must be girls out there who think the same... especially during the holidays but I will not find her. I still look... but I'm pretty defeated already so I probably won't try. I know I need to take initiative, I need to make things happen.
