Me and money. It’s like Jekyll and Hyde relationship. It often seems that the I’ll go through a phase of well-behaved, almost adult-like budgeting where I’m able to save and allocate funds to purely the important things in my life – which in this case, are bills and cash-ola towards my first home deposit. Then without any justification whatsoever I’ll go and blow my cash of anything and usually everything that I’ve been thinking of getting. Sadly the past few weeks have been leading me down the path of the latter…
So by now you’re probably wondering what I want to splurge my cash on right? Well, it all started with the purchase of the following which arrived today in the office:
Big Nike High - Both colourways...
After putting in the order for the above prehistoric relics I went down the path of another classic unleashed onto the public, the Nike Air Max Classic BWs… Did the spending stop there? Hell no… Next up was a pair of Vans Authentic in Red thanks to the guys over at Hell On Wheels. which have been a bit of a of bitch to find since word on the street is that Foot Locker is to be the main supplier, thus starving all retailers of supply. Of course a new pair of kicks needs a new pair of denim and I subsequently lashed out on a pair of raw Thin Finn Nudies. Expect another drop since I find out that the SuperBlue Thins are still available…
Of course it doesn’t end there. I have the following items in my sights. And no, they aren’t in order of need. Like I’d buy all of these first before getting a house…
Mmm... Nikkor DX 17mm - 55mm f/2.8G
1. New lens for the D80 – Needs to be wide and fast. This? Or perhaps this? A fisheye would be nice also…
13-inch or 15-inch?
2. MacBook Pro - 13-inch or 15-inch – Now I do have a Dell 17-inch there’s nothing wrong with it expect that it a big white whale making it a bitch to gig with…
I actually want pilot headsets but the mic is kinda gay...
3. New set of headphones – Indulgent purchase as the Senn’s I have haven’t skipped a beat. Sadly this looks like the cheapest item on the wishlist.
Google Android made sexy
4. New phone – Hopefully the SonyEricsson Xperia 3 when it rolls out. Although a Crackberry and a few of the HTCs are mightly tempting…
How I’m gonna justify any of them is gonna be tricky. Is Wheel Of Fortune still on TV? What about Big Brother Up Late? Those quizzes always looked like easy money… I could sell a few sneaks perhaps… Hmm…
