I just got the biggest paycheck that I have earned in a long long time, from my new job where I worked almost every night for 2 weeks... only working about 3.25 hours a night though, a really short shift. The check was for around $320, which is huge relative to a college student whose parents pay his rent and doesnt really have to worry about money like me... so it has created an impulse in my to buy something really expensive, which is like a constant inner drive that I am always fighting and only lose to in circumstances like this when I get a bunch of money in my bank account. And then I lose it all again way before I get paid again and end up eating lots of Ramen noodles.
The main thing that I would like to purchase right now is a wah pedal for my guitar, because I don't have one yet and I feel like it's a really important element to a rig set up. I have been playing for a little over 2 years, and the only pedal that I have so far is a Fab Metal, which was really cheap but still provides a pretty sweet distortion sound. A wah pedal is like the next level of guitar voicing, and I would really cherish it I believe. The pedal costs $70 or so, which is still pretty cheap relative to the other pedals that are out there. It is the Original Dunlop Cry Baby Wah, which is very old school, but was used by many famous artists like Hendrix because there wasn't anything else available back then. The only thing is that I would like to finally start saving money for a change, because I always find something expensive to buy whenever I get paid, and this would just be like any other splurge after the initial buzz of the new effect wears off.
I could also blow a hundred bucks on some pretty sweet new clothes at the mall, and I am really keen on the idea of getting the Guitar Hero featuring the new Metallica album, although right now I dont have many people I could play it with, so it would not be as fun. I would just be playing it in my room all the time, which is not such a good time. I also need some new computer things to accompany the graphics card that I bought but is incompatible with my current pc, so I basically need to build a brand new one to utilize the new card, which I bought in order to play Elder Scrolls V Oblivion because the first one was so cool.
OMG wtf are you doing in my room
