Five Wishes

So I was thinking about writing a really nice piece on how we should all think about reaching out to those who are less fortunate this year for Christmas. But I figure everyone has already heard that already. So I’ve decided to write about something that I imagine no one really has heard yet this year. What I want for Christmas….

Yeah I know this is self centered…but I’m self centered so it’s ok.

Nentindo Wii Number 5: Wii

Nintendo has done it! I’ve said this for years. I could care less about better graphics. Just give me a game that is fun to play. The Wii has done that. The fact that Shannon even loves to play the Wii has got to account for something (plus the fact that they have basically been sould out since their debute). I “borrowed” my brother-in-laws for a few months, and I must say the experience was amazing. I went pro in every sport on Wii Sports (except Baseball…but it’s really just a passtime anyways…so it doesn’t count). Plus some good friends of ours are going to be getting one for Christmas…so that just means more people to play with.

Number 4: Guitar Hero III

Now if I got with number , I would want this for the Wii. But I must say that I nearly wet myself when we were walking through Target the other day and they have it for the Mac. Yes you heard me right…the Mac. Someone should get a raise for this bright idea. In all honesty, I probably won’t use a Wii that much…but I would for sure use this on my Mac. This has got be one of the best games ever invented. I can play regular guitar…but I’m never going to put in the time to learn how to play the songs that are on this game. This just allows me to live out every marginal guitar players dream…to play like a rock god!

Number 3: MacBook Pro

Let’s just say that this would be a nice addition to anyone’s enormously oversided stocking this Christmas year. I’ve wanted a laptop for a long time. The ability to take my work with me everywhere I go would be nice. Plus, it’s Apple…so I have to buy it at some point.

Taylor Guitar
Number 2: Taylor 314ce Guitar

I’ve been in love with Taylor Guitars since the first time I played my friend Tim’s in college. I’ve just never been able to find anything that sounds as good as they do. And their new Expression pickup system is amazing. I know some people sware by Gibson…but I just have to go back to Taylor every time.

Pile of Cash Number 1: A Butt Load of Cash

Really, when have you ever said to yourself, “I don’t need a butt load of cash…” Never. This would allow me to quit my job and do whatever the heck I want. I could also buy items 5 through 4 on this list. I think everyone should get a butt load of cash for Christmas. But if you only have one butt load of cash to give away this Christmas season…please remember me.
