The Curse and The Gifts

Christmas Babies...

I used to hate being one, the name is so misleading. You get close to nothing on your birthday with promises of "Christmas coming soon", but when Christmas comes you got less then everyone else because "you just had your birthday". Frustration at its best when youre a young tyke. Now that i got some grey wisdom wiskers, i hope all my kids are born in Late November/December/Early January. In honor of the Christmas Babies worldwide im gonna comprise my first ever birthday/christmas wishlist. Its only 10 items deep, but i only need at least 5 of them for either Christmas or the Bday to be ecstatic. Help a young brotha out.

10) The LG VX10000 Voyager cell phone. Only available for Verizon. Its a Combination of the LG NV and the iphone. Full Frontal touch screen with a flip open Qwerty keyboard. Straight Monkey Food. I need this shit. Available at www.verizonwireless.com Retail: $350



9) Nikon D200 Digital SLR Camera. 10.2 Megapixels. 0.94x Magnification. 5 frames per second of continuous shots. I know there's newer better models (Nikon D3 gets 9 frames per second!!), but this is an amazing time tested camera. Classic shit. Available at www.shopcartusa.com Retail: $549



8) Axiom Memory Solutions 400GB Stealth 3.5" USB 2.0/Firewire External Hard Drive. Due to my music piracy and ever growing photography/design fetish im left with less then 1GB on my computer meaning my music collecting is on pause and any photoshop shit i create cant get saved (i have no USB drives). I got a 6+ year old Mac G4 Desktop that i love. He just needs some brain/dome/memory and he'll be money once again. Available at www.macmall.com Retail: $189



7) Akai's Portable MPC500. A beat freaks dream machine. Comes equipped with Mic and Headphones and makes beat production and recording a possibility anywhere. Ive been hooked on this since i saw Luckyiam rock beats while on the tour bus. Shit was wild. Anyways, this has been my most wanted item for the past 3 years. Available at www.akaipro.com Retail: $599



6) The Fitted Pro Player Fitted Cap Steam Cleaner and Dryer by La Vida, Inc. Only proto-types have been made of this amazing fitted cleaner/dryer, but the buzz coming from the test runs is crazy. Basically, it will keep your fitteds looking brandnew forever. The cleaning of a 59/50 can be tedious work because you dont want to drown the hat out and you have to be very careful drying the bitch because hats shrink as they dry. The Fitted Pro Player washes, dries, and keeps the hats shape...straight crack. Unavailable as of now but i'll let you kiddies know. Excuse this mad niggerish jingle that plays as the video runs



5) Sturgeon. Ryan aka Serious Black aka Black Jack Johnson aka Black Brotha Darkniz thinks he can raise a Sturgeon that will own my Sturgeon. Kids crazy for thinking that. My Sturgeons are gonna have razor blade tails and laser beams attatched to their heads. Available at www.pisanidossi.com Retail: $500



4) 17" 2.4GHz Macbook Pro. I love my desktop G4 but with my travel schedule getting ever busier, i need something for the road. I knew id never rock a PC again after i got the G4 6+ years ago so the Macbook is a must. Available at www.macmall.com Retail: $2,799



3) Nike Foot Patrol Air Stabs Size 12. One of my favorite shoes of all time. These were a quickstrike release and sold out instantly. So ill. Available at www.ebay.com or Flight Club.



2) Money. That is all. Lots of it would be nice, but a little would be cool as well. I got some peeps to get back with flow so i need this so i dont gotta get another job. Pretty simple. Available in your pockets.



1) An Ashera. I hate cats with a passion, but i think the Ashera would be the cat to change my opinion. A mix between the African Serval, an Asian Leopard, and a domestic housecat. It can grow up to 4 feet tall when standing on its hind legs and can weigh up to 35 lbs. It also has held the Leopard spots of its bloodline. It eats the same food as domestic cats and its temperment is supposed to be like any other average house cat. SUPER SIIIIIICK. Available at www.lifestylepets.com Retail: $22,000



thats all kiddies...happy gift hunting.
