I'd get a cell phone and pay off a year of it, then save the rest. Or just save it for school money. Ahem.

I'd buy an American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS for $1,000 and a good 24 channel mixer for $500.

If I were 21, I would spend it on a trip.
Toys will always be there, but youth in a different country is priceless. Expand yourself...
With $1500, you could probably take a nice two week vacation if you were thrifty...

If you can get a good 24-channel mixer for $500, I'd like to know what and where, seeing as it's nigh impossible to get even a decent 16-channel board for that price (a used Mackie, maybe, which barely qualifies as "decent" IMO).
And if you say "Behringer", please shoot yourself now.
I'll probably be investing my next $1500 in a Metric Halo Mobile I/O Firewire interface.

Perhaps cigarettes would be a worthy purchase.
If you get the habit, that's about how much you will spend in a year or two...
or a Dell...
both equally worthless

Save it for something you really want or need. If you don't know how to spend it, you probably shouldn't. Maybe spend $100 or so on something, but not the whole wad unless there's something you truly want.

Buy a bunch of Nortel Networks stocks and sit on it for a year atleast. It cant go any lower from where it is nowadays. It will surely climb in the future.

This is actually pretty good advice; if you don't know how to spend it, don't ask for advice here; wait until an idea comes to you naturally. That's likely to make you happiest.
This said, I'd probably blow it on a vacation myself. It's not all that uncommon to need a vacation and not know it. Sometimes, what we need more than anything else is just a little rest.

I would donate it to charity, or blow it all on hookers and drugs.
Scratch the charity

Do you already have a midi keyboard? If you do then try the software based moog from Arturia.

IMHO, a 24 channel Behringer for $500 isn't bad. Behringer aren't bad for home recording, but I admit they are the suckiest compared to every other mixer on the market. If I didn't have my Yamaha mixer and I needed a new board and only had $500, I'd admit I'd get a Behringer.
I'm trying to save money to go the Firewire route also.

If you like that, then try the Reason demo. If you want a full 88 key keyboard with weighted action, then I recommend Studiologic.

Hmmmm... That's a thought.
My best friend and I have been considering arranging a road-trip and going to a MacWorld. I think I am more up to it than he is though.

There are a few software keyboards you can use as well if you don't have a real midi keyboard around....I remember MidiKeys working pretty welll with Reason (An excellent audio program).

I'd buy my girlfriend and I our prom tickets ($120). Get her dress/hair/makeup ($200?). Get a suit and new shoes ($150) and then buy a new iPod mini.
Otherwise I'm not going to my prom.

You didn't??
And get this, we eat in the forum of our highschool, and we dance in their too. And then the after party costs another $40 just to enter the campsite.

You're about halfway to a new hidef tv. Wait this summer for the next generation DLP sets and get yourself a nice 50" Sammy DLP. Hook your Xbox/PS2/GC to it and you'll be in gaming heaven. By then you'll be tired of that old whore anyway.
