every now and then, i like to make lists of things i need to buy. some things are actual needs, some are just plain wants..but the 2 or 3 things that i actually need usually arent appealing to me visually, when presented on my computer monitor - that's where the other 3,4...6...9 etc. and others come in. so here's the list (by the way, i never make these lists unless i have some sort of INcome...lately, ive been having a lot of OUTcome while gaining no INcome):

1. nickle cadium or hydride battery charger (whatever kinda battery it is..you know, the one that rj suggests i get by energizer) for my digital camera. i think that's a MUST.

2. new pair of runners cause i actually became addicted to running during track and field this year and honestly, my shox just dont cut it.

3. PS2 memory card (rare white color preferably available at pacific mall aka 'asian crook/bootleg mall' & no tax, please) im tired of playing my video games for 6 hours at a time just to make it to where i was last time. this boy needs to save when prompted! it's the only way ill get ahead and more importantly, save my eyes. besides..6 hours...dont most kids get seizures after 6 hours? i think i read that somewhere. probably in MACLEAN'S. my source for everything.

3. new shit for my room not literally "shit" but shit..getit? GET TIT???? imma redo my room this summer IF it's within my budget. that means some new shelves, a wardrobe to put my gear in, some paint and maybe a new bed. my theme will be "2004: jay - a MODERN man for all seasons" ahhh, yes. that's perfect. i also have grand visions of my room transforming into "THE LOVE PALACE"..where love rules, of course (as opposed to the "COCKPIT").

4. black refill printer ink the no-name kind..'cause EPSON, i honestly dont tolerate your inflated prices!! feel me?

5. summer gear is there ever a limit to how much clothing i can have? i dont wanna be termed a "metrosexual"..but crap, i need my niceys.

6. the other 26 volumes of lone wolf and cub i have volumes 1 & 4 in manga format..i have issue 2 & 3 in normal comic book/full size format..it's crazy. im crazy. it makes me crazy. is there really anything more to discuss?

7. mother's day gift no explanation necessary (and no girls, this list is NOT in chronological order. and no, IM NOT AN ASSHOLE. this list was purely randomized, so piss off!...love,jay)

8. 'other' gifts i shouldnt explain here either.

9. shirts and ties & possibly...another suit?? (dun dun dun) i like to mix it up every now and then. i have the suit...but is that grounds for me to strut bare-chested underneath it?

10. a spindle of 100 cds since i bought my md player last year, i havent burned a cd in so long. some cds id love to buy..i really would. but im a student paying his own way. i gotta cut corners, kids! gotta (but why 100??? beats me).

11. video games i bought my PS2 two weeks ago. im 22 years old and not ashamed to say that im addicted to video games again (see #3 related).

12. more underwear see #5 related. ive been sporting midway briefs a lot lately, i think i should let the boys hang loose and go boxer style a little bit more. i also need white socks. ever since i became awe-struck with my black athletic sock craze, the white sock seems to have been phased of my life (subconsciously).

12's a good strong number.
we'll leave it at that till i get more INcoming.
