Going To Do It
I think there is a very big chance that I'm going to go back to Guitar Center at some point this weekend, hell, it could be tonight, and buy that guitar. I've been trying to rationalize it all week, coming up with various pros and cons towards buying it, but in the end, I think I'm just going to get it. Life is too short to not get the things we want, especially when its totally doable. Its not like I'm lusting after a vintage instrument that fetches $25,000. Its $1,000. Over a year, with interest, its $100 a month. Thats really not too bad when you think about it. I like it, I want it, getting it will make me happy, so I'm going to get it. I just may not bring it to my guitar lesson for awhile. I'd feel bad, since the place I take my lessons at is a small guitar store owned and run by my teacher and his friend. They just have a limited selection, all of just one brand, which is not the brand I want. Its currently the brand of acoustic I have, and while its a good guitar, its just not what I want. I hope he doesn't get too upset over it. I don't think he will. He's a cool guy about that stuff. He felt bad about pushing a 3 dollar book on me to write all my lesson stuff in. And when I asked him if I was ready for an electric, he said get one whenever I want to, there is no ready, and he said he was saying it as my teacher, and not as a guy who sells guitars.
So I'll most likely head over to Guitar Center after work, play it some more, and most likely just buy it. I have a nice three day weekend coming up, although I have to go in on Sunday morning, and I'm taking Thursday off for the Jewish holiday, that'll give me time to bond with my new buddy. Its so beautiful. I can't wait.
