What's the #1 thing you want for xmas??

[Andre]

Diz! You have a PS3? What's your gamer tag?

I've wanted the same thing for my birthdays and Christmases for the past couple of years. Only one person can give it to me...

...Threesome...

Bilbo will fly over for you.

I'm getting a ton of shit this year. Not sure why. Far as I can tell, the stock market fukked up my dad a bit, and also my grandparents. But yet...people are buying me stuff out their asses.

Not only that, I am going today for some reason to just go pick out random electronic stuff I want...and not cheap stuff either. Stuff like an itouch or iphone, pretty much anything I want I've been told. My sister is just as stunned, but in her case...not confused...shes just glad she'll have lotsa stuff to pawn for drugs in the new year.

Have already ordered tons of stuff online by request with a no limits mentality.

It's actually a bit alarming. My family is usually about keeping it real and not going stupid overboard on spending...but this year all restraints are off. Just hoping it isn't because some one is sick or something like that.

So I guess I am just wanting there to be nothing wrong with anyone to explain this sudden and bizarre spending spree.

Sounds like they have come into money and dont want it advertised around.

Ask for a trip overseas for next year see what happens.

Not like a Ferrari or anything, but what's the number #1 thing that you want that there is a chance someone will get for you?

I'm not fussy this year because my girlfriend has bugger all money and i'm old enough now that parents don't really get me stuff..

But i'm hoping for a book Called "The Fountainhead" which is an old book written in like the 1950's about what the perfect guy would be like if they existed. It doesn't just like describe a guy, but presents a world and life circumstances where the qualities of a perfect man would be seen most clearly in contrast to all the flaws of most people... I've wanted this book for years and think I might get it this year..

And my second thing I want is "Resistance 2" for Playstation 3.... I'm dieing for God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5 but they aren't out yet, so Resistance 2 is the hot PS3 game on my shopping list for the moment...


Okay boys and girls, time to write down your top 1 or 2 things you want for Christmas and I might even have Saddo forward this thread onto Santa for you..



Oh, and for my Kris Kringle at work, I only wish to dear god and Santa that I don't get something as shit embarrassing as last year... Last year the limit was $10 to spend, but I spent $30 on all this awesome bath and girlie shit for this nice lady at work,,,, and I got what could only have been $3.. A toothbrush holder... A crap one.. like one of those travel ones in the shape of a toothbrush.. And a plastic thing for soap.... Fuck I was embarrassed.. Everyone else was like, wow what did you get to everyone else.. I hid mine and ran off... Part of me didn't want the person who bought mine to see how pissed off I was in case they felt bad, part of me wanted to throw the plastic pieces of crap in their face....




Okay second question then,,, what is the crappest thing you've got but were expected to smile about as to not hurt someone's feelings??

Dizaster, are you familiar with the book, and the ideas of it's author, at all? Ever read it? If you are then you know there is a bit of an asterisk beside the word perfect.

I read the preface by the author which she wrote went it was re-released where she was trying to explain why she wrote the book.. And I think I read maybe the first chapter or two online.... You've made it sound more interesting to me now so no spoilers please

[Andre]

I don't ask for nothing so i don't get nothing pretty simple.

Ah! the reverse to manifesting exactly what you want.

when your ready just change the polarity and you get it all.

I actually don't want anything at all and i don't need nothing, don't really like Christmas as i said in the other thread. Had a few bad experiences in the past. But i am going on a little holiday with my girl soon, so maybe that could technically be regarded as a present ?

OK, no spoilers. You can safely ignore my asterisk remark, in this case it's not really that relevant.

Ayn Rand is a philosopher as much as an author. Her stories have a message. Fountainhead is a great story that is not overpowered by message. You cannot say the same for some of her other books. "We the Living" is another of her stories I really enjoyed.

enjoy, let me know what you thought when you're done.

Ahh so, it is wisdom then, Grasshopper!

Toa te Ching; (way of life ) (or (The eternal way)

By Lao Tsu (6th century Bc China)

Number Three:

Not exalting the gifted prevents quarreling
Not collecting treasures prevents stealing
Not seeing desirable things prevents confusion of the heart.

The wise therefore rule by emptying hearts and stuffing bellies,
by weakening ambition and strenghtening bones.
When people lack knowledge and desire,
then intellectuals will not try to interfere.
If nothing is done ,then all is well.
This is the way of theTao ,this is the natural order of things.

Im only getting one gift for Christmas,but thats ok,Ive gotten many more the rest of the year. They may not seem like gifts if you look at it on the surface. You could call it the results of hard work. But alot of people work hard,and dont get the gifts Ive recieved. Rather then striving for too much, your better off appreciating that you have more then enough for anybody.
