What I Am Planning On Spending My Money On (+ Teeth Are Strange Things) January 25, 2008

I go to my “job” tomorrow, to allow the public to engorge themselves and increase the average weight of America as the snack guy. When you think about it, it’s depressing. I try not to. Instead, I think about what I’ll be buying this year with my income. My first year that I ran the concession stand I bought my current acoustic guitar, and the next year I used the money on a Wii. This year, Christmas was good to me. At first I was at a loss for what to use the money for, but I eventually got some ideas.
One idea was to buy and Xbox 360, which is something I haven’t wanted until recently when I played Bioshock and Rock Band. Then, I looked at the amount of money it costs. $350. Last year I made almost $350. And thinking about all the small things that I want to buy that I didn’t get for christmas, and I knew that if I bought a 360, then I wouldn’t get a chance to buy anything else.
So now my plan is to buy a lot of little things. Games, music, equiptment, things like that. I’ve been working on a list of things that I want to buy but I haven’t counted up the amount of money it will cost so a lot of it might have to come off. Here’s all the CD’s that I’m planning on buying.
Mirrored by Battles
Apollo 18 by They Might Be Giants
Think Tank by Blur
Emergency & I by The Dismemberment Plan
In/Casino/Out by At The Drive-In
Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
The Moon And Antarctica by Modest Mouse
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus
The Love Below/Speakerboxxx by Outkast
The College Dropout by KanYe West
Roll On by The Living End
Renegades by Rage Against The Machine
Hopefully these will be a reality pretty soon. I’ll probably have to order a lot offline because music stores don’t stock things like The Dismemberment Plan and The Living End. I hate ordering offline though. You have to pay more, you have to wait longer, and you have to fill in a bunch of stuff, and you have to get mom and dad mad by asking for the credit card. I’d much rather buy things in FYE or somewhere.
+: Teeth Are Strange Things
I noticed while brushing my teeth today that teeth are odd. Today is the first day of my life when I’ve ever touched my teeth and said “wow, these feel like little rocks or something” instead of thinking “wow, these feel like my teeth.” Like they feel separate from myself. I don’t know what I’m saying. Good night.
