I'll stop using the term "colored" as soon as they do.
I'm somewhat of an enigma: an atheist conservative.

A 17"PB and Master of Orion III. The first made me very happy. The second did not.
It looks just like a telefunken' U-47 - Zappa

A set of JBL Creature Speakers for very cheap off of Craig's List. They sound great!

A digital camera is next. Gave my old one to my pops for his bday last year.

I don't think that you can simply buy something to make you happy! I've tried before...
Alas this is right.

The older you get the less there is that satisfies you. Quite depressing really...

You couldn't have said anything that is more important. A concept lost on too many. Money doesn't buy happiness. Real happiness has to come from within, life is what you make of it.

Spending does not make long lasting happiness, it's only short term. It's like a narcotic that continually needs a fix.

Congratulations on you marriage! True happiness comes from the heart.

Not sure if it makes me "happy" - gives me great joy, though.

Also: a second Mackie 1202 and an extra Neutrik patchbay for the home studio, along with a buncha patch cables.

Come to think of it, in conjunction with the 12" PB and the rest of the studio, these things do have the power to make people genuinely happy.

Music is that way.

I bought this:



And my girlfriend bought this:


15 GB

Of course I'm still happy with my 20 GB iPod. Now if only Apple would release version 2.0 firmware for the older models.

Oh, and I got this too:



Yeah, I have a really small penis. Why do you ask?
