When I’m a little depressed, I often go on a shopping spree. It’s not one of those kind of sprees where I go from store to store and buying lots of stuff. It is more like something where I just browse most of the time and then leave with a big ticket item that I always wished I had but was just a little out of reach.

Tonight, I went over to a popular computer store and spent an hour just walking around. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything that I really wanted. No games, no software or utilities. I couldn’t find any accessories or hardware for my computer that I wanted. Graphical software and DVD copying was just not my thing.

What is wrong with me? Am I really that depressed that I find nothing of interest at all? I don’t feel overwhelmingly depressed. Maybe I already have everything I need. There were a few items that I would have liked to have, but they were still expensive for the moment.

• A powerful shiny new laptop
• A Mac mini
• A flat screen HDTV
• Mac OS X (10.3 or above)

On second thought, there are a few things that I do need that I forgot about. One being some printer ink and the other being a USB hub. After a little bit of thought, I just realized that I saved $80.00 tonight because I didn’t buy these things. That cheers me up a little bit. But I am sure that sooner or later I’ll have to give into the ink (or just buy another printer).
