A lovely Asian female consultant is working in our office. Even the old guys (yeah me too) are appreciative of the eye candy. My young friend starts talking about her belt, her bag, etc., Apparently they are designer and cost thousands - it's all lost on me. To me she just looks well groomed and trendy. Since I have no interest in bling, toys or any of that stuff I take my buddy's word for it... I'd swear she was eyeing my timex.
My late older brother quit college and landed a nice blue collar Union gig. He poured his money into his hot rod. I would often have to go and fetch him in the middle of the night when the hot rod broke down. I remember one very cold night in the winter he was waving his little flashlight and was nearly frozen when I found him. It really must have made an impression on me. I bought a VW bug reliable and simple.
We went for a day trip to Annapolis today ... Busy with tourist in the summer sun. I saw a number of Ferraris and Porsches cruising the busy streets that clearly fall in the super car category. They are pretty but loud I'm guessing there owners want to be noticed. I just don't get it?
Do you or did you chase the bling ...
