Out Of Control

Ok, I am out of control. I need help. While this has absolutely nothing to do with my newly acquired set of wheels, maybe it has in a small way extended to my actions. What I have insanely done was to splurge a big sum of money on a pair of corrective eyewear. What was I thinking??!! Just because I have a continental branded vehicle it doesn’t mean I need to have a corresponding European brand eyewear? Ok so they aren’t exactly related, wheels and eyewear, which makes my buy look even less intelligent.

It was torturous, the battle between the devious cookie monster and the angelical one each ranting their opinions into my ears. I was breaking down. Fast.

Devious Cookie : ‘ Behold how sleek and well crafted this very expensive eyewear look. ‘

Angel Cookie : ‘ Look away from what evil tries to seduce you with. How about this nice looking house brand frame? Economical and nice. ‘

Devious Cookie : Snots. ‘ It looks like its gonna give way any moment. Imagine how dangerous it will be for you on the road. What about the other road users when it gives way and leaves you blind! If not for yourself, think about others! ‘

Angel Cookie : Mocked horrified look. ‘ Wonderful change of tactics. It’s not like this house brand eye wear is made of straws you know. Would you actually see better with a more expensive one? Of course not! You are already half blind to begin with. Those are not going to make your eye sight recover you know. So what’s the point of paying more? ‘

Devious Cookie : ‘ Pay no attention to the less informed. Look let me break it down to you. Can you afford it? Sure you can. Do you feel better when you look better? Of course you do. Check this magical figure out. I can make it all go away. Take this number and divide by the number of years you will be wearing it for. Say 30 months. Ah….now doesn’t it look too affordable? Break it down by another 30 days. TADA! How does it look now? ‘

Angel Cookie : Sulks in a corner.

I have to say, the bad one does have a point here. A very big point. Out came the plastic. Signed and ready to collect in 10 days. Besides the cute optometrist serving me does look impressed. Maybe if the wheels don’t bring me the promised land of babes. This might. I have been told my eyes are beautiful. Ok this might just work out to be a better investment. It better.

I am starting to doubt my decision making process.
