There are some things in the world that leaves your speechless, short of breath and eyes awide in awe. I call it an “Oh my god” or ‘OMG’ moment. These are things that are of unassailable design, quality and craftsmanship that once touched and held require superhuman will power to return it or are life changing experiences by chance or design.
And as everybody knows, will power is something that I certainly lack, hence, the rather frequentness of that OMG moment. I felt it the first time I tried on my Tank Francaise. The first time I smelt the leather of LV. The first time I tasted Moet and Chandon. These are feelings that stay with you forever.
Recently, I felt that feeling as I tried on the new Dior Homme chronograph. Again when I was offered a position at a new company. And when I opened the clam shell design of the Motorola V3.
I’ll reiterate the need to possess superhuman will power to return those things. On that fateful day, I left the store clutching a new mobile phone: it is black, slim and stunning, a la Naomi Campbell in her prime. And draped around the neck is a Dior mobile phone strap. Another OMG moment.
But the most recent OMG moment occurred the other night when someone asked me a life changing question:
“Did you want an American Express Platinum Card?”
I was speechless, short of breath, staring in awe and almost about to faint with delirium.

Ali here- just saying HI!
Hiiii TY!!! Much love from North Carolina- Chapel Hill ;)
You haven't changed a bit. Remember that you may love objects but they cannot love you back. Don’t delude yourself.
Who says objects can't love you back? I feel their love everytime I'm in their presence: their soft touch, smooth lines and heavenly scent. The offer enormous support, companionship and aspiration. I place them above certain people. If offerred the choice of saving one of my beloved objects or saving a persons life there will be no hesitation in my decision.
The only one deluding themself is the person who see things literally.
That's my 50 cents offered via credit. And leave a name next time so my objects and I can berate you further.

I agree!!! Don’t delude yourself.
I can delude myself all I want, just as long as I'm clutching wealthy.
