I’m a pretty impulsive consumer. Most of the time I’m content to just browse a store but every so often I’ll get it in my head that I absolutely have to buy something. Sometimes I’ll have something in mind, get to the store, find they don’t have it, and buy something completely different. It’s not always little things either. That’s how I got my Nikon D50 back in the day. Originally I wanted the Canon Rebel but they were out of it at Costco so I just bought the D50.
So here I’ll make a list of some of the things I’ve been wanting for a long time. We’ll see how many I actually get this year.
- PS3
The PS3 has been on my mind for a long time now, mostly for its Blu-Ray playing capabilities. I was totally blown away by Planet Earth at 1080p. But that’s not enough to warrant the purchase. I’m very close to getting one, I just need that extra little push in the form of a game (since it is a gaming console after all). And that push is named Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. It’s set to hit shelves in the US in April and hopefully by then I’ll have me a PS3 to play it on.
- Ninja ZX-6R
That’s my dream bike, and one day she’ll be mine. Yesterday my coworker asked why I liked that bike in particular so much. Well, for one, I think it’s the only production supersport bike that comes in green (my favorite color). Also, it won the 2007 AMA Supersport Championship, with some help from its rider. And just look at it. I mean come on, do you really need a reason?
- Vio POV.1 Camera
Some of the rides I go on are just beautiful. Nice windy back roads that see little to no traffic. Fields of grass and flowers, rolling hills of oaks, forests of redwoods, coastal cliffs. It’s so pretty and exhilarating. I’ve wanted to make videos of my rides for a long time. I just haven’t had the proper set up to do it. This system, while a little pricey, would do the trick.
- Apple iPhone
What can I say? I wouldn’t call my current phone anything close to “smart” and I’ve never been a fan of PDA’s, but that iPhone. It’s one sexy SOB.
So that’s a short list for now. Other than the PS3, I don’t currently have any plans to buy any of the others. I guess that’s why it’s called a wish list and not a shopping list.
