My 2011 Birthday Wish List – Part 2 – Be Awesome and Get Me These!!!

Every year is another birthday.  Each year I claim I don’t want anything major, but c’mon who am I really kidding?  I got tons of stuff I want.  Some people might not know the exact reasons for it, but shoot, I do.  Here is my 2011 Wish List.

If you missed Part 1, here it is….
My 2011 Birthday Wish List – What Are You Going To Get Me?

Ok, we are back at it on great birthday gifts for me.  Let’s see what 5 others we can come up with hmmm.

Boxing Glove Wraps
Boxing Glove Wraps

6. Boxing Gloves Warps ($20-$30)
I need these so badly.  I can’t believe I went 4 years wanting them and not buy them…they are only $20.  Damn I am cheap.  I can buy a $1,000 camera in a flash but not a $20 glove, smh.  I like boxing at the gym.  It’s fun, and lots of stress I release there.

amazon-kindle

7. Amazon Kindle ($114-$169)
I been really getting into the mood of reading more, seeing that I watched a million tv shows and movies via Netflix.  So it’s time to get back to the books.  My friends were all telling me no don’t get the Kindle, get a tablet, but I felt especially knowing me, if I had a tablet I will not be reading books on it, I would be doing a million and one things as if it was my computer.  I simply just want a book, and a kindle is that (e-book reader either way).

ciroc-red-berry-vodka
ciroc-red-berry-vodka

8. Ciroc (Red Berry) ($24.99) | Long Island Ice Tea ($9.99) | Barefoot Reisling ($9.99)
I am not a big drinker, then again a lot of people would say against that, but I do like certain drink bases on the taste and ease of flow with certain foods I eat.  Buy my a drink today, so I can be smooth and relaxed on the weekend.  I love wine as my number one choice but if vodka (ciroc red berry), cognac (conjure), wine (reisling), everything (long island ice tea)

Snapback Fitted Cap

9. Snap back Fitted Cap ($30+) Green or Red
I want one of these.  I mean I usually don’t follow the fad going around, and I am not much of a hat wearer seeing I mostly always have low-cut hair cuts or bald, I still loves hats. especially ones that are cool.  I don’t one that’s really a basketball or baseball team hat, but a hat with one of my favorite colors (green, red or so) pretty much standing out would be so awesome to have as a snap back.  I want to get like a DC or Etnies hat.  I would settle for anything creative and awesome.

Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed
Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed

10. Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed – PS3 ($40-$65)
Boy oh boy how I missed out on this game.  Probably the first Need For Speed game that came out that I didn’t buy on the spot.  I mean it was too close to the last need for speed release which was Hot Pursuit in November 2010, but I love to drive out of anything else in this game, it’s sad to see it not yet in my collection, since I collect ALL NEED FOR SPEED games.

hello kitty ninja tattoo

Bonus 1. NEW TATTOO ($50-$80)
I been meaning on getting another tattoo, but kept saying no no no.  But I feel the one I wanted next would be really worth it…Donate to the cause to make me happy with another tat. 🙂

justin timberlake cologne Givenchy

Bonus 2. Diddy’s I Am King cologne or Justin Timberlake‘s Givenchy colonge ($53-$83)
If any two colons I love the smell for it’s Diddy’s “I Am King” cologne and the just recently discovered Justin Timberlake cologne “Givenchy”…in which I got schooled on how its pronounced by (@BelleMarie86 over at My Boring Quarter-Life Crisis) after a stroll in Sephora.  But I really like these and will be inching to get me a bottle soon, if not both, I will get one or maybe you should get me one. lol.

Ok that’s all I got to list…there could be more, but that would means I am greedy (in which ain’t bad, shoot it only my BIRTHDAY right?).

As before, I have a particular taste, and I like things that are personal not flashy or too expensive.  I am a simple guy.

What are you planning on getting me birthday this year?  Do you already have anything I listed?  Do you want some of the same things I want?

Let me know…let’s talk about it.

Thanks for reading

Today I started to read a book…Undisputed by Chris Jericho

I stop reading books really after leaving college, I was more into getting my information and entertainment quick such as articles, magazine, and blogs.  Today I have started into a new light of reading certain interesting books I have always wanted to read and I am also tapping into the e-book scene as I did when it first came out so many years back and no one knew what is was.

The book I am reading currently:

Chris Jericho Undisputed: How to become the world champion in 1,732 easy steps.

Chris Jericho is one of my favorite entertainers of all times, and I bought his book as a special gift to myself, and I am so excited to start reading.

After I complete this book, I shall continue on to “The Alchemist

I will fill you in on my progress and let you know my review for the book.  I am not a fast reader and I am super busy most time, but I love this book as I went only 60 pages in and don’t want to put the book down. Being a long time wrestling fan I am delighted to read about the life of a wrestling, most importantly my favorite wrestler of all times.

Are you reading any books currently?  What are they?  Do you like wrestling?

Thanks for reading

A Room of One’s Own

A room of one's own

The real reward of independence and for self is when you can claim a room of one’s own.  We go through life, from infant to teen, then from young adults to being elder in the attempt to be on our own, in which is a symbol of growth.  What we acquire throughout our lives shows our self-worth, and one of the main things we try to aim for is a place to call our own.  We pick up many other things along the way such a convictions, religion, belief, money, love, pride, respect, and other material things, but when you are in charge and have the freedom to make decisions in any which case is a very powerful thing.

Many people go through this world, not being able to accomplish this one goal, because of the odd balls life may throw our way, but still we try to keeping pushing.  Some of us are not as strong will as others and may stumble a lot more than other, but if we can have it, we would all want A Room of One’s Own.

I myself is working on having a room of my own, a place of freedom to create and live a satisfying and fun life.  As much as achieving this may take a bit longer than I thought, I still strive for victory that one day after all my hard work I will be able to gain this proud and live changing achievement.

I came upon this title of this post based a book of the same title I had to read (was supposed to read) in my freshman year of college at Lehman College (Women In Literature Class) and I never once forgot the title because I knew of a great worth of knowledge and literature that would be within the walls of this book.  Now that I think about it, I still own the book after 7 years, and might be aiming to give it a thorough read very soon, and add that to my list of books I should I read long ago, but will read now.

Book: A Room Of One’s Own by: Virginia Woolf

Do you have A Room of One’s Own?  Is this one of your goals in life?
