I'm DEAD and don't even know it...

Post by bodhi71 » Sun Jul 19, 2009 6:07 pm

So I've been stuck in the house for the past two days watching the kids,
my truck needs inspected and I have no stroller.
My 6 month old has been miserable since he's cutting teeth and maybe the combination of it all...

I just ordered an APC40.
I don't have the money to be spending on it, and when SHE gets home all HELL will break loose.
I could claim insanity.
I could blame ABLETON.
I could blame AKIA.
I could blame forum members.
I could pack and run but then I wouldn't get very far with my vehicle and I wouldn't have an APC....

What's wrong with me?
Why do I do this all the time?
Is there a REAL gear lust sickness?

Its not gear lust, its emotional spending, yours just manifests as buying music gear. Try not buying ANYTHING for a year, apart from total necessities. Its quite amazing what it will do to you.

I hate to say it, but I recognise your condition. I just dropped the guts of 3 grand on a bass I didn't exactly need. Send it back dude. You don't need it to make good music. Saying that, I don't really understand all the APC40 hype around here... just looks like another clever controller to me. Won't make your songwriting skills any better, and won't make you any happier!
