    We should simply be allowed to consume more booze.
    I don't live here any more.

    My *life* is fairly simple... although I do have some decent technology involved. I'm not a worrier... I just live life however I feel like it.

    I'll spend more money on a quality product, rather than marketing. So I'll buy say a pair of Adidas for 100 bucks, but not 200 for a pair of Air Jordans.

    I eated the purple berries.

    I'm bothered by the fact that I have surrounded myself with all kinds of crap. Ten years ago, when I moved to this state, all my belongings fit into a small Toyota hatchback (plus a computer that got shipped). Now I couldn't move with anything less than a LARGE moving van. Yet everything I have was purchased with considerable thought (sometimes even correct thought) as part of one of my hobbies/activities. I'd like to live leaner, but it's hard to see exactly where to cut back. On the other hand, I live below my means, and am pouring money into savings, so I'm better off than the average American anyways.

    Apple is my favorite. Cherry can be too sweet.
