resolved: i will not make any personal purchases until march 22, 2004. that means no sneakers, no dvds, no clothes, no books. nothing. i reserve the right to buy one (1) pair of swimming trunks, however, for my trip to the bahamas... but other than that... i'm withdrawing myself from modern american consumerism for a while... and i still have to buy my brother's birthday present-- but that's not a "personal" purchase, so it's exempt from my rule.

why? in a little over a month (since the new year) i've bought 2 jackets, 3 pairs of sneakers (exchanged one), 5 dvds (two were with a gift certificate), 2 books, a bag, a pair of gloves...

oh shoot. i just remembered that i wanted to get an electronic bible for my "pocketmac"... and a pickup system for my guitar... and this cool hat:


GAHHHH, what have i done?!?
