It's the wee hours of the morning and I just woke up from a frantic nightmare. Here I am, living testament to why old men and technology should never mix.
This here is the culprit... all beautiful and blue. Don't let it's demure appearance fool you. This beautiful and blue little number had me grinding my teeth down to stumps and woke me in a cold sweat.
A little bit of a background story is in order.
(cue up the flash back effects)
Yesterday was officially my first day on eBay. Yep, for the first time ever I set up an account. Which means that I am officially out of 1992 (cue applause... thank you, thank you.) It also means that I have a new addiction, and like all addictions, this one got ugly... FAST!
It started out innocently: A brief search, a quick peek, a modest bid then off to bed. Innocent right?
In my dreams, instead of falling asleep, I am in a heated bid battle, I am obsessed with the blue bike. The bidding started at $25 and my original offer was $56. Very quickly, the situation gets out of hand. I tell myself that, "I will not go past $300." But when b***2 makes that bid, I crack and go $315, but r***r has already beat me to it. I am trapped in the high stakes world of online shopping!
Thankfully I woke up at this point, before I started robbing convenience stores or turning tricks for a bicycle pimp.
Great news! I just checked my account and I am still the high bidder and currently in the lead! To ensure my leader status I even bumped up my minimum bid a little.
I'll keep you posted... let's go ride bikes!
(That is, if I'm not too busy working the street corner or robbing a 7-11.)
