Wish List.

Alright, readers, its that time of year. The heat is becoming notable (even here is Holland), the kids are running around spraying each other with the hose, aunts and uncles are showing up in droves, any all funds you have are disappearing, and Grandpa is hammered by 4.30-
Thats right, its Christmas!
Alright, its not Christmas. But, in the middle of the Summer, I always like to buy tons of things I don't really need per say but that are what fall under "self-investment acceptable spending". So, with exams looming, and the rainy Holland sky outside, Ive compiled a list of things Im planning on buying, to try and estimate how many Lemonade stands I'll be constructing this Summer.
Lets begin-

(1)
First and foremost, my beloved Nike SB's Midtops are dead. The sole is walked through and they have earned a respectable retirement (more on that idea later). So they must be replaced. As you may recall I picked up a gnar pair of purple high tops at Wolf and Pack in Amsterdam, but you cant stomp around all day in that limited edishhhh, feel me?
So, I think I'll be snagging a pair or two of low tops to get through. While of course I will remain a Nike faithful, this pair of sky blue Sambas are pretty legii. (Yes- Legii- in the same manner as legit, but pronounced Ledge-ee) While the Nike indoor shoes are not only wild'n out stylistically, but are great shoes for in the gym.

(2)
With the amount of Polo I'll be playing, its time to invest in a bike that can crush. Yessir, Im talking about Big Boy Wheels, a 29er. For those of you that are pedestrians, a "29er" is a bicycle with 29inch wheels as opposed to 27, allowing for greater tire clearance on things such as stones, logs, and if the cast the may be, other peoples bikes. This would also allow my bicycle to have greater defense capabilities, using the large wheels as goal blocking discs of doom. And at under 400 bucks, whats not to like?
(3)
As I posted earlier, I need a camera. One that takes quality stills and also shoots video. The Canon T2i is just that, but the price tag of 900USD is a bit high for this unemployed student. But, a boy can dream.
(4)
This toaster is clear. 'Nuff said
(5)
The MaxiTaxi, my 97 Nissan Maxima, is getting a bit old. The battery connection is being fickle in the last few months, prior to my departure and during my visit, so its time to push out the old, and bring in the new. A Buick Super 8 is my dream car. Who knows, maybe I find a scrapper and teach myself auto mechanics from this beautiful machine sans wires and plastic. But this one will more than likely have to wait until my kids get out of college and I buy my house in Mexico. I can see it now.. me and my Vatos in my 48 Super.. 

So kids, remember, its important to have goals. Make a list of what you want, and then GO GET THIS PAPER FEEL ME?
Good God, Ive been listening to to much TI again.
But really, buy me things.
