What a donut

Sometimes i could kick myself…

After bleating on about getting an iPod or an MP3 player, my SPV rose from the ashes and lasted - all of a day. I felt i was happy getting used to the SPV again. I put on a new homescreen - so that it looked like a Mac. I even loaded on a new ringtone in WAV format too, not that it actually rang the day i had it switched on! I triumphed on my first game of toilet Solitaire too - surely a good sign!

However - the keys are a little dodgy, sticking and not working, the screen is scratched and it weighs a ton. I gave the keys a “good mash” but it made no difference. Plus the display backlight seemed to be on more than it was off even though i had setup the power management properly. By the time i left it on overnight the battery was practically dead and i was digging back in the drawer for my Nokia again.

I never bought a new SD memory card for it. Which was a good thing really as it was obviously not meant to be and it saved me some money. Yet again procrastination pays!

I sometimes preach to others of my “Path of least resistance” as i slide through my life. Maybe i should now also be preaching a “path of less material goods” too. I would love an iPod - and could also think of quite a few reasons why i might need one and want one - but they are not real reasons. Just excuses for wanting something cool and sexy. My “new path” does sound a little religious too. Maybe that needs tweaking slightly.

I can’t beat the feeling of leaving work at the end of the day knowing i have done my job and have nothing to carry home. Its a similar feeling to walking home from school on a summers day knowing you have nothing to do but doss around until teatime. I used to lug laptops and stuff around in previous jobs, but now i need nothing at all - just me noggin. Maybe that is what i need to concentrate on. Having nothing. Wanting for nothing.

More to come…..
