Today was better than the Louisiana Purchase. I received my refund check. I didn't even have to stand in line. There were 2 people in front of me and it was still like "Swoosh!" Insta-payday. That just happened.
It's like the cash gods threw me into the holy shower of money. It was freaking sweet. $700 big ones. I wish I could get paid for nothing all the time. In a way, I'm getting paid for going to class, but I still look at it as money won. Money won is much sweeter than money earned. Ask Peter LaFleur. He can tell you all about it. (If you have no clue who I'm talking about, watch "Dodgeball". Seriously. Go to Blockbuster now. Do it.)
So, some of you may be asking, "What are you going to spend it on, oh toasty one?" Here's my answer. I'm going to deposit the check in it's entirety into a high interest CD account so that I can reap the benefits by simply sitting here and blogging to you people.
Okay, so as much as I wish that highly complicated answer was true, it's a lie. As much as I would truly love to invest it, it tends to burn a hole in my pocket. Translation: Spend as soon as possible.
I'm actually being wise about it. I'm calculating exactly how much I need of what, when I need it, etc. I've got 2 lists going right now, wants and needs. 1 guess as to which one is longer. (Is it really that hard? Come on...)
One purchase that I would love to make is a new camera. Now, I have 2 cameras. One is a suckass Sanyo and the other is a Samsung. They're both okay cameras and both work, but I'd really love something with a higher pixel rate and better overall quality with features, etc. Best Buy has something completely awesome.
It's times like these that I wish I didn't have buyer's remorse. I'm also a bit of an impulse buyer. I want to walk into Best Buy and have a sales clerk give me that camera in exchange for money. I love it. My other cameras take so-so quality photos. The Samsung is WAY better than the Sanyo. I paid $225 for the Sanyo digital camera and no matter what setting you use, inside or out, the photos are of a quite poor quality. No, it's not the photographer's fault. The megapixels are fine. The funny thing about it is the Samsung was $99 (but was free to me thanks to my cousin who had no use for it) and it takes photos that you could compare to that from a Sony Cybershot. It even has more features. It kind of goes to show that paying more for something doesn't necessarily mean that you're getting a better product.
So...what do I do? The clock is ticking. The money is waiting and currently burning a hole in my pocket. To buy or not to buy...Hmmm...
