I like to think I'm clever

I use AppsGoneFree (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apps-gone-free-best-daily/id470693788?mt=8) to get iOS apps when their cost has dipped down to nothing in a promotional effort to stir up buzz for their app. It has made me an app horder. Usually in a few days of downloading and trying 1/2 of the apps I come to the conclusion that they are not for me.   I can be temperamental and change my mind later on even after the apps have gone back to their normal price because they have been recorded as purchased in my iTunes cloud.  When I see them in the AppStore instead of having an "install" button I see a cloud button with a blue arrow pointing down.

However some apps truly are not for me and will probably never be for me, forever.  One such app is 100walls (https://itunes.apple.com/tc/app/escape-100-walls/id659546545?mt=8). It's a puzzle game with little to no instruction (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeryE-e3frBCOlHGjmH541WvGAwe8FMF_) and as of right now I have enough thinking puzzles in my real life and have no need to supplement my brain in my spare time that way.

It did however lend itself to some value for me anyway. The start up screen had some pretty images that I screen captured to make my lock screen and home screen wallpaper. 
When the phone is unlocked the door appears to open. 


Useless yes but it makes me feel clever and I'm happy with myself when I feel like that. I've come to the general conclusion that being happy with myself is the ultimate goal for this life.
