pulling the trigger part one

So right now the TV we have isn't really ours (well Diddy gave it to BJ), but it's like 20 inches or smaller. There has been talks about someone getting a HDTV sometime in the future. Tony was the front runner because everyone and their moms knew about him saying that he was gonna go get one, sometime later and I decided to be the dark horse in the running. (I figured owning my own HDTV will prove to be great for the future because television doesn't even capture in 1080p yet and the TVs now are good enough for awhile) So I started to research what TV would be "bang for the buck" and high quality at the same time. Tony was saying how buying a TV is sorta like finding the right girl, even though the amount of money spent on her is like infinitely more. Seeing that I don't have all the money in the world, and I actually want to save, I narrowed down my choice to this 40 inch Samsung LCD 1080p. This is where my good friend Michal steps in. He works for Sears corporate, and found out that there was a friends and family sale this past Sunday from 6pm-9pm. The sales were suppose to be good on some of the TVs, but when we get there, we find out the one I have been eyeing isn't getting a big discounts as other TVs. There was this Toshiba that was cheaper, but it had less specs and the reviews on them were not as great as the Samsung I wanted. (Thanks Pandrew) I like my electronics with quality, and I still got a discount, so right there, I pulled the trigger on it. What's nice too, is that I didn't have to drop the amount right there, but have no interest for 18 months, so I can still save and pay it off at the same time. It's suppose to come in on wed. or fri. I'm excited.

What was sweet though, was that Michal got to stay the night because the weather was kind of bad to drive in. So his boss let him work at my place for the day. It those unexpected times of hanging out with friends that make life a little sweeter. Old school video games, kicking back with a few brews, talking about life; it just brings you back to the good ol days haha minus the brews. It's crazy to think that one day we won't be able to do this anymore (well like the way it should be done). I know that in life, you grow up and look forward to the new life stages: marriage, starting a family, etc. It's no wonder many people are getting married later now. We take our middle twenty years after college to just enjoy life: single hood or in a relationship, our job or graduate studies, meeting new people or chilling with the old ones. Whatever it may be, people are prolonging this stage of life before moving on into the next one.

Things I'm looking forward to as 08' comes to an end.

Thanksgiving - As usual, Thanksgiving will be spent with family and hmcc kids who didn't go home for thanksgiving. I think the number this year will be a record. Like 7 people or something. i think it's cool that my rents are chill with this, and going home for the 4 day weekend won't be too boring.

Pistons Game - The Hurs, Brian, Alan and I got tickets to go see the Pistons play Orlando on 12/29. Now that AI is on the team, I think it's gonna be sweet to watch them play and look who they are going up against. Freaking Dwight Howard. It's gonna be a good match up and we got lower level tickets.

NYC/CT trip - The Hurs, Brian, and I are gonna be taking a road trip to the big apple and CT to visit E for a few days. We're going during New Years, and we're thinking about doing the whole Times Square for NYE thing. Yeah we know it's kinda crazy, but hell, we're still young. Chilling in CT will consist of hitting up Mohegan Sun and some snowboarding. It's gonna be a packed 5 days, planning to do all of this stuff which includes driving there and back.
