What has the world come to?
I, Andre Gerber asked AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR (2005) for an iPod for Chistmas. An iPod mini, to be precise. now, since Christmas is near, I reminded my parents ONCE AGAIN that I want that.
And, as per usual, they left it until the last minute and now, just as I predicted they are phoning every place on earth and they can’t find one because everyone is “sold out” because it is holiday season.
Now, the fun part. My uncle, who was in England, was asked to buy an iPod for me there, and when he came back to South Africa, he bought an iPod for my cousin (his 10 year old daughter) and incedently “forgot” to buy mine and claimed they too were sold out.
I don’t care if my cousin (Inecke) gets and iPod, but what BUGS me into my grave is the fact that he bought one aswell for her step brother whom he has never even MET! Now, I would be ok with this too, but the thing is, they don’t even know what an iPod is and they don’t even WANT one since they cannot use it.
I, the person who actually WANTED the iPod, wont get it, nor would I get anything else this xmas because that was supposed to be my gift. And they, who can’t use an iPod because a) they don’t have a PC ergo they can’t make MP3’s. In fact, they don’t even know what mp3 IS!
But, besides that, he bought one for them, and I, yes I, will be left with no present this chistmas and will have to watch while everyone else opens gifts and I will sit there with a dry mouth and no presents because I will have to wait for next year to get one.
Now, let me recap that I asked MORE THAN A YEAR AGO for an iPod this year. AND I reminded them every week!
So, I ask you: WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO!?!?!?!
