Wii Fund

We had a good Christmas yesterday, and I have started a Nintendo Wii fund with gift money I received. Right now I have $130. I started with $150, but I decided to buy a three month subscription to the Economist. While that purchase will delay my perfection of an uppercut punch and a split finger fastball, it will improve my knowledge of politics in Kenya and debt markets, so it is still a worthwhile investment. When coupled with my Wall Street Journal subscription, it makes a powerful combo. My goal is to be able to but my Wii by my birthday, which I think I will be able to do. Megan says she will give me $100 dollars if I meet my weight goal for my diet. I have lost 23 pounds so far. I worked across the street from the original McDonald's World Headquarters this summer, and I think the location subliminally made me addicted to McDonald's. This lead to disastrous results which I am only now remedying because I travelled so much at the beginning of the semester. If I lose 7 more pounds then I will be playing Wii by my 25th birthday. This will suppress my inner-desire to play constant video games. I blame this phenomon on the "videogame neglect" that I was inhumanely subjected to as a child due to my mom's strict no-Nintendo policy. It's a sad chapter of my life that I still try to suppress.

I Was Forced To Do This

Megan made me start a blog, since she was starting one. I will try to make it interesting, and I hope at a minimum my mom will be a regualar reader.
