I may be addicted to gambling, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

I recently decided that I would like to have an Ipod, because I want to make an extreme playlist for mine and D's upcoming roadtrip to FL in March. I decided on an Ipod Touch, because I have one of those, although it's super old and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

In all fairness, it's probably in a random box/tote somewhere in my shed.... or other shed.... or garage.... or spare bedroom. Yeah, I'm a bit of a hoarder, BUT MOVE ON.

The point is, I want this thing and I want it to have a shit ton of GB's (like, 128?), because as I said EXTREME PLAYLIST. I looked all over Amazon and Best Buy and finally stumbled upon eBay where I found a fairly new one with the GB's I'm looking for, for around $68.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a "buy now" option for this one (and Momma ain't trying to spend no $200-$300, because f*ck that), so I had to resort to bidding. The bid was set at $67, so I did $68.... I got an email a couple of hours later that informed me that somebody had outbid me by $1, so I upped mine to $69.... and then, somebody had the audacity to take it to $70.

Like, wtf dude?! Don't you see I'm on a mission and trying to get this so I can make this EXTREME PLAYLIST and live my life?!!?!

So now, I have resorted to making skilled plans and trying to determine how long I can let this go until I submit a final bid right at the countdown so I can win. I have never done anything like this before in my life, but the fact is, I really want to win this to the point I'm strategizing and making notes. I'm even thinking about putting the app on my phone so that I can keep up with the process in the middle of the f*cking night. UPDATE: I totally put the app on my phone.

Y'all, I might have a bit of a problem at this point. Or, maybe it's healthy (probably not)?! Who knows, all I know is I'll check back in once I win/lose. And if I lose, I'm gonna be real pissed off, because this is my first time "gambling" and I'm starting to see how people develop a problem?! And, I know that there are other ways to make a playlist and I probably don't even need an Ipod, or I could just man up and clean out two sheds, a garage, and a back bedroom to find my old one, but I think we can all just admit that it's not about the Ipod at this point.

UPDATE: I f*cking won!! Ok, maybe I didn't win the one I was originally going for (some tramp beat me at the two second mark), but I definitely won a go around and my Ipod is currently being shipped to me! And sure, I may have a bit of a gambling problem, but with all of my other problems, I can just add it to the list and keep going.
