After X-mas, I plan on buying myself a present...... Either a nice new shiny Emag with a 114ci/3000psi Armageddon tank or a nice new Impluse with 68ci/3000psi Apoc. tank.

So either $950 or $700. I think I'll go Emag, don't even need the battery :-).

I got everything I 'need' really, and prefer buying stuff for myself with my own money... but my parents were nice enough to hook me up with a spiffy 10-channel rack mixer that Muzikman suggested. I'm scrambling to record an instrumental X-Mas/holiday CD to give to friends/family/co-workers. Santa's also sending some PaintballJunkies cargo pants. :) But my FAVORITE gift every year is new socks! I'm not joking. I LOVE new socks. SOCKS! YAY! Thank you! haha.

well, i'll probably find out on christmas... anyways, i got my printer from my mom a month ago cuz i can't do any homework without one, so thats an early present. My dad will probably help pay off some of my bike ($2000 left to go on a yz80 that was stolen... i'm paying for nothing!) and my step dad will probably get me a ps2 game or two. I already bought my mag by selling a bunch of stuff. The only paintball things i will need now are a dropforward, and some paint.

I think my friend might get a new marker for xmas. He has a m98 right now, after using my mag he is thinking about asking for one for xmas. I'm looking forward to seeing what he gets!

Well, I want an RT w/ a new 68/45 flatline but my mom always gets pissed when I ask so I'm just getting a Black Flex-7 and a Black KAPP Sock hat. Oh yea, and a leopard skin BunkerKing Visor. I wish my parents would spend some money sometimes, but then again I should quite complaining. Just leads to more trouble. Oh well.

Hmm, since I am going to Florida for Christmas, which will be in it's prime paintball weather, and we wont be able to bring too many presents down with us, I will probably get a Freak set, Jersey(s), other barrels, and maybe knee, shin guards. I might also be able to get another gun, but as to what that will be, I have no idea. Kind of want a cocker. But I promise, It wont ever take the place of my RT!!!!!!

Ah, the true meaning of Christmas, all measured in what "toys" we get. Such a decadent lot we are :(

Russ.

We are a decent lot. Just very materialistic. There isnt a problem with that. I enjoy things, and so do most people. There never was anything wrong with it. Even though I am jewish, I will say that christmas and hannukah arent about the joy of life, or whatever. Its about presents. Its about getting things. Santa Claus exists for the sole purpose of giving people things. And the better market the holiday. We jews dont have Santa Clause, but we dont want to feel left out, so we get presents too. 8x more, just cause thats our style. But the point is, Christmas is about giving AND recieving. No one can give without another recieving, its not possible. So we focus more on what we receive, whoopdy-f**kin*do. Enjoy the holidays for what they are: a series of excuses to get things and not go to school.

I do see what's important. But you know, learn to enjoy life. We have money, our parents have money, let them spend it on us. There's nothing wrong with a little selfishness once in a while. And learn to smile.

I'm either getting some PCBs from www.solarbotics.com or possibly a PS2... I wasn't going to be able to get either because I have to get endodontic root therapy (a root canal) and that costs like 2k. But we're getting dental insurance from my mom's work January 1st, and they're going to cover the cost (even though it is a preexisting problem)

So that's $2000 we don't have to spend.

I want to get my dad and my brother some used working entry level markers, so that they can come play with me every once and a while.

I told my dad he should stop going to therapy and just take out his repressed anger playing paintball!... Only problem is he'd be right back at therapy after I pop him in the gogs a few times!
