Alright.

I’m a tool.

Not only do I drive a Volkswagen, but now I’m the shameful owner of one of those snappy new titanium Apple Powerbooks.

Help – I’ve fallen into a demographic and I can’t get up.

The Apple store was verrrrrrrrry pretty.

Lots of shinny things.
Lots of grey things.
Lots of white space.

The geek patrol they had working though sucked… A team of malnourished, black G5 t-shirt wearin’, apathy ridden snots that didn’t bother making eye contact nor suppress their outward anguish at having to share their coolsphere with…. (gasp)… PEOPLE!

I fucking hate pretense… (this coming from the guy with the new titanium laptop and a Jetta).

One of the younger, more hungry ones came up to me after I stood in front of the unit I wished to buy for 15 minutes… (guess their hip aura prevented them from knowing that I had already pre-shopped online, knew what I wanted AND had a Apple Financing approval number in my pocket).

Oh sure – I could have walked over and pleaded for the cool guys to come assist me, but… forgive me for being a snot: If I’m going to lay down 3K for a piece of metal and plastic, you best be coming over and kiss my ass a little.. (or at least making a good college effort at “pretending” you give shit). I mean hell, I got more salesmanship when I bought our electric toothbrush.

Well.. 3K and some change later, I strolled out with my new toy and felt sorta “unworthy” from my shopping experience.

Then pissed because I felt that way.

Then…. My neurosis over another monthly payment kicked in and I forgot all about it.

Dear Apple – I love you… But your attitude sucks. Good thing I’m not blogging about it, cause it’d be bad PR.
