I'd rather spend the money on...

I keep on thinking how awesome it would be to have a smart phone. I could look up directions when I'm lost, keep in contact on the move, check out blogs or reviews, check movie times, etc. Then I look at the monthly cost. It hurts looking at those numbers for something that would essentially be a toy. Then I had an epiphany. For me it would just be a toy. And you know what?

I'd rather spend that money on lego.

If I'm going to spend 75-125 $ / month on a toy, I'd rather it be something that I could keep on enjoying after the month ends. I could hand it off to people. It would work my imagination. I'd be happier. So if you see me playing with little plastic blocks off in my own world, don't think that I'm simple. It's just my preferred toy. ;-)
