When you was a kid, getting something or knowing you was going to get something new, say a new watch or new things for your computer, would get you all happy and excited and on the day you got the new items, you'd be over the moon and walking round feeling real happy.

now though, I'm older and wiser ;) I start to see buying new stuff a bit of a chore, the excitment has dwindled to... a "ah that'll be a good replacement" or "shall we get this one? no that ones better because it's more economical" etc etc... then on the day you get the new stuff, there's no 'buzz' feeling anymore. It sinks in within a few minutes that you've just got something new and it becomes the 'same old stuff' again, put on the shelf or sitting on the driveway.

I sometimes think that even If I had a brand spanking new Ferrari 575 on the driveway' I'd peep out the window everyso often to check it's not getting wet in the rain, but it just wouldn't have that same affect come over me like a kid does with some new gear.

Mybe my older age just takes away the excitment now.

What do you younger and older guys feel when you know you're gona get something new.
