This year seems to be a low festive feel, because I used to see the sweaters, the high-sales promotions, the decor that considers now festive. It just feels like people want shit, and greatful of what others do for them. To quote a close friend, "What does this do for me? It doesn't do anything for me. It's all for you, but you have to help, unless I cannot give you anything."
I'm not the person who asks for World Peace to become reality. Honestly, I'll take a world of gore and violence everyday rather than a perfect, honky-dory world. But if there is no volition to the things you want, then where's the need; "Where is the Love?"
?
(2003, Black Eyed Peas Where is the Love?)
There is this predicament that we all face, but more importantly, what is left to go on?
Or am I trippin' because I'm consumed with my thoughts? Who knows. Below is
Five Gifts I Would Like to Have But Can't Afford: (no particular order or preference):
Dell DJ 30 with Dell DJ dock and Inline FM Tuner/Remote Control. Honestly, I don't know why I want 30 Gigs of space for music; however, space is a premium. With Shipping & Handling, it's paying $400 for, sans the $50 mail-in rebate. It's considered by CNET as one that has the no frills of the iRiver H320 or the Creative Zen Touch at a cheaper price.

What it will do for me? Get me listening to music, kept all in one place.
Dell XPS m170 (suped-up). Runs for about $3800. Premium gaming laptop, with the laptop life. I can live with the anti-glare technology, although many complain that it distorts the screen, and causes white backgrounds to be incredibly sparkly. I don't need a lot of hard drive space, but 60-80gig HD will suffice. This should get me safely feeling comfortable about rejoining the gaming circuit, which I definitely can not run with an IBM T22 P3-900mHz.
What will it do for me? A nice way of getting back into gaming, and easily can use as a work laptop. Click here to see the review.
2006 MLB All-Star Game Priemere Package. $2800 (not including meals, and transportation for two people). The 2006 All-Star Game is being held at PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Going to the All-Star Game and it's festivities has been a long dream of mine. I want to be there the day before, get situated and everything, and leave the day after, when everything calms down, and not worry about leaving with a ton of luggage. Flying would be nice, but if I have to take Amtrak or Greyhound, as long as I have a Dell DJ 30, I'm well prepared for that trip.
What does it do for me? Allows me to go see my favorite baseball players play in a classic, enjoy the festivities and meet and greet with stars of the game. May be even do a little job promotion for myself. Click here to see the package.
Sharp LC-26DA5U. It is a LCD Television, 26" that uses both 4:3 and 16:9 (widescreen) displays. It can connect to a laptop or PC using a S-Video cable, and is HDTV ready. Cost: around $1190.
What does it do for me? Allows me to watch TV without being bothered by others. Good for substitute large screen for gaming. Decent home-entertainment for my small bedroom.
May 21, 2006 - Inner Loge Seats: Mets vs. Yankees at Shea Stadium. Granted, I know tickets can go for $60.00 per seat, but I would like to get an entire group to go...like 16 or so. Granted, I know the Subway Series happens every year, but to be there as to start a Baseball City Road Trip would be awesome. Total Cost of Road Trip and expenses: over $5000.
What does it do for me? Not only I live to see the Mets vs. Yankees in person, it begins a road trip, which requires planning and AmTrak tickets.
There's a lot of other things, I would like as well, for instance, a 5-7.1 Megapixel Digital Camera, but I need to temper my expectations. I should be glad of having a woman, a degree, a life and looking for a job.
