Crap That I Want
I’ve decided to create a blog registry of things that I want. People have Amazon wish lists, wedding registries, baby registries, graduation registries, housewarming party registries, etc, etc, etc. So, why not a blog registry?
This also ties into my recent post about the silliness of fiscal/life minimalism. I am sure that each of these items would make my life between 1 and 73 percent happier.
So, here is a bunch of crap that I want, along with links that allow you to purchase them for me. If you ever want to buy me something, you can use this list. I also take monetary donations via the form of check or cash.
Gimme, gimme, gimme.
What I Want
- Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex Racquet: I already have one, I just need a backup (3% happiness increase)
- Adidas Barricade Tennis Shoes: I’m a size 12. (6% happiness increase)
- Babolat Tennis Bag: I need a place to put that racquet and shoes. (4% happiness increase)
- The Complete Seinfeld (6% happiness increase)
- Any Simpsons’ season DVD (3 through 8) (5 % happiness increase)
- Big Fish DVD (1 % HI)
- Shawshank Redemption DVD (1 % HI)
- LG 42-inch flat panel television (72% HI)
- Sony Blu-Ray Player (12% HI)
- Bose Home Theater System (32% HI)
- Xbox 360 (28% HI)
- Nikon D40 camera (34% HI)
- A freaking Marriott bed (70% HI)
- A Chrysler 300 (71% HI)
There you go. Make my life better via material possessions. I’ll be sure to remove these items from this list as they are purchased for me. Happy shopping!

You know, I was actually almost ready to write a Black List entry on Chrysler 300s, because they are such poseur vehicles. Get a Bentley, don’t get a fake Bentley! In fact, there’s a whole cottage industry of people who make grills and other custom parts to jazz up 300s and make them look more Bentley-ish.
That’s like buying one of those really nice Hyundais because the front-end looks just like a Benz.

Pshh. Right, Andrew. Like any of my readers are going to be able to buy me a Bentley.

Wait, the thing that would make you happiest on this list is Bacon Salt?

Is there a problem with that?

If my math is right, you should be 9% happier. Are you going to remove the racquet and shoes from the list?
