Every year, in my New Years Resolutions, I make a goal to learn how to play the guitar. I know. There are a million people out there who already know how. But I have this one little problem: I don't have a guitar. And previous to this time in my life, I've been so swallowed up in school and other activities, that my guitar-playing aspirations have sadly had to take a place in the back-seat of my life.
Oh, it's not like I don't make an effort to learn. Every time I came across someone with a guitar, I would ask them to teach me just one more chord. This seemed like a great plan until the next time I saw someone with a guitar, and I went to play the chord, and...uh...couldn't remember it. Ahem. Only embarrassing to myself, really, but - nonetheless. I tried to borrow one from my mom for quite a while (she has 3. At least.) But they were just all too dear to her. Hmph. Guess I know what's more important...the guitar, or ME. Hehe. I've tried other ways, too...I've dated multiple guys over the past few years who all play the guitar. That worked for a little bit, but then we'd always break up. GOOD-BYE new years resolution. Errr...or goodbye relationship? I think I missed the guitar more. :)
Anyway. Now I've found this guitar. I really want it. But I can't justify the $300 it'll cost to get it because I don't know how to play it yet. HOWEVER, I clearly haven't gotten very far in my quest to learn due to my LACK of a guitar. See the problem here? I looked at some that were cheaper, but they're just not as cool looking, or as quality. (I confess, I have no idea as to the quality of this, my dream guitar, but - I think I should get the one I really want first instead of some crappy crapster guitar.) Just my opinion. I keep trying to talk sense into myself, but I always come back to this dilemma. It's about time I finished this resolution, don't you think? I probably just need to buy the thing and rock my way to awesomeness.

i concur. you should just buy it. what else are you going to spend the money on? groceries, bills? no fun. :p
Buy it. It will never be easier to buy than now and you'll never have a better chance to learn to play than now.
