Nerd. But he's OUR nerd.
My name is Daniel J. Pottinger. I like short walks on the beach
because walking in sand is tiring. I like sunsets, but not because they
are pretty but because it's getting dark and people are going to sleep
and thus ceasing to annoy me with their presence. I'm an animal
lover....the more I can eat in one sitting, the happier I tend to be,
unless vegetables interfere with my world, then it's WAR!
This is my Christmas list. It's all the things I WANT. The holiday is about giving me what I want, and nothing to do with the birth of Christ. The shopping malls all say it's so, so it must be!
With that said, let the list begin:
--A roomba. It's a robot that vacuums for me. My current vacuum sucks. Not sucks in the good way, but sucks as in it does not suck well at all. Does that make sense? I think I confused myself. Needless to say, a ROOMBA would be sweet, because it has a mind of it's own and just cleans up for you. This also increases my odds of being right in the middle of it when robots rebel against us humans. I might just side with the robots. You've been warned.
--The gimmicky things like the Perfect Push-Up and the Perfect Pull-Up seem right up my alley. They have the word perfect in them, so that's a great start. I think I'd prefer the pull-up variation, as I already do perfect push-ups (possibly of the girly variety, but shhh, that's our secret.)
--New books from new authors that YOU think are good. That's very vague, but it's also a chance for you to recommend something to me. Just know I'll be judging you as I read it. I prefer suspense, horror, sci fi, fantasy, and military fiction. The military fiction I prefer leans towards not very wordy complicated code word bullcrap *cough Tom Clancy cough* and more general stuff like Ted Bell and etc. Just so you know. If there is a monkey in the book, it's an award winner in my eyes and heart.
--I think I'm going to lean away from video games this holiday. I barely have time to play as it is, and I'm way behind on my gaming. If someone wants to randomly purchase me the new God of War game for the PS3 next March, it's never too late to be thoughtful. I'm not sure if I want Rock Band or not......everytime I try to play the drums, I lose a little self esteem. It is pretty sweet though. Amanda loves my singing, so I guess I could just always be the singer........"my girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiiiiiiiiiime!"
--Gift cards to techy places are good, but I always seem to fall into the gift card trap. See, companies want you to give gift cards knowing that the recipient will most likely head to the store and spend MORE than their gift card has to offer. It really makes me angry that I fall for that.
--If someone wants to decide what I do next, that'd be cool too. I'm almost 30, but it's time to go back to school, probably......but do I pursue a masters in Psych and deal with the crazies or go into Law and deal with the crazies? Why am I always drawn to crazies?
--Does it bother any of you that I just typed "I'm almost 30"? If so, I am amused.
--No CD's please, or Itunes gift cards. You'd be taking away my pirate eligibility if I did things legit when I didn't have to. I got my cred to worry about here.
--Blu Ray movies are ok, however. I got nothing witty to say here. Sorry.
--These shoes are freakin' sweet! http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_sprint.cfm
I have always said I prefer running bare foot than with shoes. I hate shoes. They interfere with balance and flexibility. Plus, what if zombies attack and I don't have time to put shoes on. I'll be like "man, I run pretty much barefoot all the time anyway, so long suckers." While everyone else is trying to get their shoes on, I'll be running fast as fast can be, and they will have their brains eaten. I win.
--Board games like: Tripoley, Balderdash, Boggle, Scrabble sweet carry case edition. Basically all dorky games I'll never have a chance to convince anyone to play with me but that make me feel good about being good at.
--An electric guitar. I did say I was 30. It's about time for a mid life crisis. I just want to see if I can hook one up to my computer, turn it on full blast, and then play Van Halen and blow up the speakers before I go back in time in.......
--I want a DeLorean. Someone make this happen.
--This really isn't a helpful list.
--I sure would hate to be the person that draws my name. I'd look at this list and be like, "how is any of this under whatever the limit is this year?!?!?" and my answer to myself would be "it's not."
--If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to mention it offhandedly to my mum. It'll spread like wildfire if I do that.
That's all folks....now stop looking at me.
