Freewrite #1: Immediate Gratification or Buyer's Remorse?

This is the first freewrite blog. The topic is entirely your choice. It must include one form of media (picture, video, music, links, etc.) and be at least 250 words long. My first freewrite is entitled: "Immediate Gratification or Buyer's Remorse," but you can call yours whatever you want.

Usually I do not need to do any deep soul searching when I set my eyes on a sweet fitted hat, but recently my inner voices have been battling over whether or not to take action and make a purchase. I am pondering the idea on dropping some greenbacks, that is slang for dollar bills for all of those who aren't "in the know," on two Bay Area fitteds. The first is a San Jose Sharks (Hockey) fitted w/ Elephant print bill, red Sharks logo, grey front panel, and black back panel. The second is a San Francisco Giants fitted flipped in San Francisco 49ers colors w/ old gold brim, cardinal red panels, and white SF logo. Pictures shown below: Sharks (left), SF (right)


Both of these hats are from ecapcity.com and the pictures are credited to them as well. Their website is definitely worth a look. They carry fitteds for all walks of life and the selections they have in stock are pretty comprehensive.




You may or may not be able to see my current dilemma, but I must pose this question to myself and others who would care to offer their two cents: Should I indulge in immediate gratification or should I suffer buyer's remorse? One part of my mind is telling me to buy the fitteds and ignore my misgivings and the other is telling me to be conservative style-wise and financially. So should I be frugal and slap the credit card out of my frenzied hand? Or should I throw caution to the wind and order the glorious headwear pieces to bask in their ephemeral light in less than a week's time? I am going to go ponder this on a walk outside.
