The Hopeful Wish List of a 30 Year Old Boy.


I’m writing this at the risk of sounding cheap, but aren’t we all cheap in one way or another lol. Well the thing is I’m severely running short of funds this month (actually always lol) and there are so many things I want to buy so I thought, that ummmm….I should make a wish list. Knowing that there so many millionaires, billionaires and genuinely selfless giving people out there in the world, (and not to forget kind awesome friends and family) I’m hoping that they would stumble on my list and ;-) …gift me a few.

It’s no secret that I have a very serious fetish for shoes (sneakers) and perfumes, and I probably own more shoes and perfumes than a normal man should, but in my defense…well I don’t even have a genuine defense I just want more lol. Some people collect watches, some caps, some collect coins, some stamps, some underwear, I collect shoes and perfumes (as much as I can afford to collect). Now getting back to my wish list, these are a few things I’d like to have in the next 2 months, so thanks in advance and looking forward to your generous contribution to my wish list. J

Perfumes

1.        Narciso Rodriguez : For Him


This perfume is a musk have for men, dark, musky, seductive and strong but very attractive. It doesn’t overdo anything and I call it pure masculinity. It’s sophisticatedly very raw, intricate but yet simple. If I had to make an ad for this it would be like most AXE ads. Women will literally stop whatever they’re doing and follow you. They will literally tear off their clothes just to be with you (Trust me on this one, I’ve experienced it first hand). Wear this to a party and I guarantee you will not go home alone! Considering that fact that I'm single I absolutely need this.

2.       Dolce & Gabbana : The One


This is for my Church, lunch, brunch etc. date use. Absolutely fabulous, light and very attractive. Pure sophistication! I’ve seen women’s eyes melt at a whiff of this. It’s not for teenagers and early 20’s (these can choose Paco Rabanne One Million or 212 VIP) D&G The One is for people like me late 20’s, early 30’s and has that ‘I have arrived’ smell, and considering I just turned 30 I absolutely need this. It’s got a playful not too serious aroma that also hints that I can be serious if you’re worth it, which is kinda where I’m at right now.
{A notable mention: Perfumes must haves for men Aigner Black: I’ve literally been stopped and asked the name of the perfume I was wearing. Most complimented by women and men alike. Not very expensive and but pure class. For everyday use, but doesn’t last too long, roughly 6 hours.}

Shoes

Ahhh where do I begin and where do I end…if I were a millionaire my house and furniture’s and everything would be built of shoes. And frankly can you ever have enough shoes? Except smart shoes…who needs more than 1 of those communist fashion wear. I have one smart shoe and I wear it every day to work, and screw you Christina (babe) and Pooja they don’t look like grandfather shoes. Anyway here is my wish list for shoes.

Vans Wylle: I was born to wear this :-)



There are more on the list of shoes, but as of now these 3 would do. besides I don't want to be too greedy.

Single Malt

I've had my share of fine malts, but this bottle I've chosen is one I'd kill to have a taste off. Disclaimer: Dont go by the name, It doesn't grow an inch where you might be expecting. Its called Inchgrower, very rare, the reason why this is so sought after is because only a small percentage is sold as single malt the rest are used for blended scotch. Very hard to find, but undoubtedly one of the best malts available. 
But in case you don't find this you can still get me a bottle of Laphroaig 18 years. and for all you cheap bastard who cant afford Laphroaig you can get me Jamie (read Jameson Irish Whiskey).

Inchgower

And of course I wish for world peace, and that american beauty pageants and Congress get smarter, and I wish global warming would stop, and that tigers and lions would stop hunting and eating those poor innocent deers and last but not least I wish pigs could fly. (just make sure you don't mix up these wishes with the ones above)

So thank you in advance to all you good Samaritans out there who are about to make the wishes of a poor 30 year old man oops correction BOY come true. Well damnit if you're not donating anything, maybe you can write to my boss and convince her to give me a VERY significant increment lol J Drop in a mail and I'll send you her number and email. 
Anyway for all you cheap bastards who are not going to even do that...at least do your part and wish for world peace, recycle and save the environment. 
Have a great day!

Looking Back


I turned 30 yesterday, and for the first time I didn’t celebrate it and chose to spend the day pondering on what my life has been all about. It was strange because as the clock struck 12 the previous night, an overwhelming sense of emptiness engulfed me. I think it was me realizing that half my life was over with that tick of a hand that submerged me in a sea of nothingness. Questions popped up like sulfuric bubbles from a deep sea volcano, poisoning the air around me as I slipped into a temporary state of depression.

Who am I? Who am I meant to be? What have I done? What have I achieved? How many people have I hurt? Why did she leave? Am I happy with the way I’ve lived my life? Why did i leave her? What makes me happy? Am I drinking too much? Am I drinking enough? Why do I miss him so much? Why do I miss her so much? Will she ever get out of my head? Why do they hate me? Why do they like me? Why am I the only one alive? Why did she leave?Will I go to heaven? Will I go to hell? Will I meet them there? Why did he leave? Will he ever get better? Does God hate me? When will it end? Is he proud of me? Will I ever find what I’m looking for? Am I working hard enough? Is this the right job? Am I going to die? Will I live forever? Why did I leave her? Why do I lie so much? Why do they lie so much? Why didn't he call? Why didn’t she call? Why didn’t I call? Is he proud of me? Can you hear me? Am I a good person? Why did she leave? Why did I leave her? Am I smoking too much? Does she really love me? Did i really love her? Am I eating too much? Why am I writing this? Am I thinking too much? Why am I wearing my sunglasses in the pot?

2 days later...

As the smell of sulfur dissipates with time, the thought of a desolate 30 years begins to fill itself with life I had chosen not to appreciate and celebrate. I realize that the answers to my questions will only lead to more questions. Age as it may be is only but a number, life is an experience, however short or long, I must learn to embrace it. So however hard and long it might have taken, I now have a deeper understanding of what growing up means, and the need to loosen up the noose to free myself from the past that weighs me down. Life is hard and never the way it’s meant to be, sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad. Sometimes we end up hurting the people we love the most, and sometimes we’re broken by the people we thought loved us the most. Sometimes we find friends in the people we hate. Sometimes we find answers in the questions we ask. Sometimes we find hope when all hope is lost. Sometimes we find ourselves in our darkest hours. Sometimes we find strength in our weakness. Sometimes we need these moments of anger, desolation and emptiness to help us learn to smile again. :-)
