Someday
One day when I'm rich and famous, will I want trinkets when they are easy to purchase as much as I do now when they are not? Consider this beauty. It has everything I want in a pocketwatch except a closeable lid and an affordable price. $1495 is a tad steep. I could set myself up with a new computer for that much green. And yet, how desperately I covet such silly baubles.

I used to fill my home with sundry tchotchkes - some more expensive than others, all gathered with the collector's mania. Then one day I didn't have room to display them all. They ended up in a box. Years later I came across them and wondered "Why on earth did I buy all this junk?" but I couldn't part with them because they had been so dearly pursued and purchased. Even more years later and I'm questioning my sanity. This summer they go the way of all the earth even if it kills me.

I could say that maturity is the reason I halted my mad pursuit of all things kitschy and collectable, but look at the price tag of that pocketwatch. Maybe my insane cycles of wanting and having have simply outpaced my income - to which, perhaps, I should breathe a sigh of relief.
