GAS

Disease or Obsession?
Need or Desire?
Investment or Waste?

Whatever one's view is, let's face it. GAS - or Gear Acquisition Syndrome, so commonly targets men (and in few cases, women) in which the 'patient' has:
  • An urge to buy/invest/acquire/insert-your-word-of-choice-here the latest piece of equipment/gear that would help/improve/upgrade/augment their current set of gear.
  • A desire to keep on looking at the aforementioned piece of equipment/gear and imagine themselves being a proud owner of it.
Let's face it. I am suffering from GAS. I find myself looking at more camera lenses / flash kits / remote shutter releases quite often. I also find myself drooling over a guitar effect stompbox set as well as yet another guitar.

But let's just face another fact. It's stupid of me to drool over so many of those when I can only choose from a handful. Whatever the case is, it is official - I'm diagnosed with GAS. The urge to splurge.

Gotta save money tho, not spend it. :)
