Obsessions

so over the course of the past few wks, ive found that it is possible to feed multiple obsessions at a time..........that is of course given that the person is jobless and has shitloads of money......

ive got the jobless part down pat, im still working on the shitloads of money bit tho im wondering how in the world im gonna achieve that being jobless. i believe i am close cos right now i have shitloads of imaginary money..........

always just a word away, these things......

just a note before i continue, i dun call them hobbies.......i call them obsessions.........cos mostly i spend unhealthy amounts of time on subjects that capture my attention..........sometimes almost to the extent it is no longer funny........

my dad calls it passion........obsession, passion......always jus a letter away, these things.....

so, lately ive acquired some old and some new obsessions.........
1. Fishes - ive got a tank of various tetras and threadfins totalling 17 fishes which my dad and i have setup up recently. and strangely enuf, i enjoy sitting in front of the tank every now and then and looking at them darting abt. im contemplating cultivating some brine shrimp for feeding purposes too. and maybe breeding the tetras as well. on top of that, im thinking of getting a larger tank. maybe a 30 gallon tank?

2. Car detailing - no need to mention too much. we all know how mad i am at this. recently ive come into contact with another budding detailer who wants to have a showdown this coming friday. i.e. to see who's got a better shine. *ahem* it sounds absurd, yes........who does he think he is?!?!

ohya, the whole comparing shine thing is pretty absurd itself too.

3. Shopping - this is one obsession that has jus started. and i believe is side-effect of my spending too much time wif J. the girl shops like no tomorrow and it seems to be rubbing off alittle. in recent months, ive found myself spending more on clothes than i have in my entire 25yrs of existence. altho i do kinda enjoy the new threads, my wallet suffers from malnutrition. think once i do get a job, a whole can of worms will be opened.

4. comics - im still in consideration on this. resources are low. another huge can of worms here.

5. computers - this is the oldest obsession. this here can aint no campbell's soup can. think the pandora's box of peach halves in heavy syrup. was sealed and stored quite sometime back. now re-opened..........halfway......bad enuff actually........ive got a new monitor, now im returning to watching the pc hardware market and plotting my next upgrade.......this is really one very bad can to pop open.......

ive found that given my jobless situation i am able to feed these obsessions the time they require in a wk.........the only thing that holds me back from acting on many of the stuff ive planned for each of them is the lack of resources..........

sighz........always just a dollar away, these things............
