What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.

Wish List

Miscellany

Updated July 5, 2008

It has always been my plan to eventually dispense with all my meaningless material possessions and devote myself to a life of austerity and meditation—after all, this earthly plane is merely transitory, while the truths of the spirit are eternal. But, since part of the plan involves getting rid of all my stuff, it would be nice to have some stuff to get rid of; otherwise, it wouldn't be a true sacrifice, right? Thus, each object I (or my family and friends) choose to purchase from this list adds meaning to my ultimate sacrifice, and thereby brings me one step closer to spiritual perfection. Such is the Way… of the online shopaholic.
